Cleaning and care of the induction cooktop
102
Risk of injury due to hot burners.
The burners will be hot after use.
Turn off the cooktop.
Allow the cooktop to cool down
before cleaning.
Risk of injury due to electric
shock.
The steam from a steam cleaning
appliance could reach live electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.
Never use a steam cleaner for
cleaning.
All surfaces could be discolored or
damaged if unsuitable cleaning
agents are used. All surfaces are
susceptible to scratching.
Remove any residual cleaning agent
immediately.
Do not clean with any abrasive or
sharp pointed objects.
Clean the cooktop after every use.
Dry the cooktop thoroughly after
every cleaning to avoid limescale
residue.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
To avoid damaging the surfaces of your
appliance, do not use:
- liquid dish soap
- cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids, or chlorides
- cleaning agents containing descaling
agents
- stain or rust removers
- abrasive cleaning agents
(e.g., powder cleaners and cream
cleaners)
- solvent-based cleaning agents
- dishwasher cleaning agents
- grill and oven sprays
- glass cleaners
- hard, abrasive brushes or sponges
(e.g., pot scourers, brushes, or
sponges which have been previously
used with abrasive cleaning agents)
- eraser sponges
Cleaning the ceramic surface
Risk of damage by pointed
objects.
The seal between the cooktop and
the countertop could be damaged.
The seal between the ceramic
surface and the frame could be
damaged.
Do not use pointed objects for
cleaning.
When cleaning with liquid dish soap,
not all contaminants and residues
are removed. An invisible film forms,
which causes discoloration of the
ceramic. This discoloration cannot
be removed.
Clean the ceramic surface regularly
with a suitable ceramic cooktop
cleaning agent.
First wipe down the surface with a
damp cloth to loosen soiling, then
remove stubborn crusting with a
glass scraper.
