Cleaning and care
Sugar and food containing sugar
(i.e. marmalade) and
melted plastic
must
immediately
be removed from the hot cooking surface with the cleaning
scraper. If not, the cooking surface can be ruined while it’s cooling down.
Steam and/or pressure cleaning machines can’t be used to clean the
appliance! This can damage the unit, and result in the risk of
personal injury
.
Risk of burning!
Make sure the appliance has cooled down before cleaning.
If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface, you could be
burned by the resulting steam. Be aware that some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Please note the instructions regarding cleansers.
F
Clean the cooking surface after every use. Food residue that hasn’t been
removed will burn into the surface the next time it’s turned on and then
these incrustations may be permanent.
F
Cleanser residues can cause discoloration the next time you turn on the
cook top. Cloths and sponges that have been used to clean other
surfaces can cause discoloring, too.

Please note the information for the cleaning scraper
CAUTION
! Risk of cutting! The blade of the cleaning scraper is very sharp!
Always keep the cleaning scraper flat on the surface and push the caking
away.
Do not scratch the surface with the edge of the scraper and don’t damage
the sealing with the edge.
Cleaning the cooking surface
– Use the cleaning scraper to remove all food residue and fat splashes from
the hot cooking surface.
– When the cooking surface has cooled, clean it with water and a small
amount of detergent, with a cleanser for glass ceramic surfaces or with
VSR O-FIX-C. A soft brush or a soft sponge can also be used.
– Wipe off the surface with clear water.
– Dry it thoroughly.
Remove caking
Heavy food residue should be soaked first. Use a wet cloth for best results.
It will be easier to remove the food residue.
Care of the cooking surface
Clean the glass ceramic surfaces with a cleanser to protect it from discoloring,
and reduce the danger of damage from sugar. It can also remove stains and
discoloration.
