Cooker, sink and mixer tap
The stainless steel surfaces of sink and gas
cooker can be cleaned with commercially-
available care and cleaning materials.
When cleaning the gas cooker, ensure that
the thermocouples on the burners are not
damaged or bent. The gas burners should be
cleaned at regular intervals.
Do not use abrasive cleaners on the tap in
order to avoid damage to the surface.
Fridge
In order to avoid buildup of ice, the fridge
should be defrosted regularly in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions. In order
to avoid damage, defrosting should not be
accelerated by means of additional heat, for
example a hair dryer. Removal of ice layers
with a sharp object can also lead to damage.
Water with the addition of a little vinegar is a
suitable cleaning solution. If there are longer
interruptions to operation, the fridge door
should remain somewhat open in order to
prevent smells and mould.
In winter the air vents of the fridge can be
protected with special winter covers.
Bathroom and toilet
The plastic items in the bathroom and toilet
may on no account by cleaned with vinegar
or cleaners containing alcohol.
Do not use abrasive cleaners. Sand can
damage the surface of plastic items. First
rinse the washbasin thoroughly with water
before cleaning it with a cloth and detergent
if necessary. Further cleaning instructions
can be found in the operating instructions of
the toilet manufacturer which are included.

cleaner.
