regular intervals.
DANGER
Risk of electric shock!
Switch off the electricity before
cleaning appliance to avoid an
electric shock.
DANGER
Hot surfaces may cause burns!

• Clean the product thoroughly after
each use. In this way it will be
possible to remove cooking
residues more easily, thus avoiding
these from burning the next time
the appliance is used.
• No special cleaning agents are
required for cleaning the product.
Use warm water with washing
liquid, a soft cloth or sponge to

dry cloth.

thoroughly wiped off after cleaning

wiped dry.

liquid detergent (not abrasive) to
wipe those parts clean, paying
attention to sweep in one direction.
