CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
By ensuring proper cleaning and mainte-
nance of your cooker you can have a signif-
icant influence on the continuing fault-free
operation of your appliance.
Before you start cleaning, the cooker must
be switched off and you should ensure
that all knobs are set to the
/0
position.
Do not start cleaning until the cooker has
completely cooled.
Ceramic hob
•
The hob should be cleaned regularly
after each use. If possible, it is recom
-
mended that the hob is washed while still
warm (after the heating zone indicator
goes off). Do not allow the hob to get
heavily stained; particualrly from burnt–
on spillages from boiled over liquids.
•
When cleaning do not use cleaning
agents with a strong abbrasive effect,
such as e.g. scouring powders contain-
ing an abrasive, abrasive compounds,
abrasive stones, pumice stones, wire
brushes and so on. They may scratch
the hob surface, causing irreversible
damage.
•
Large spillages that are firmly stuck to
the hob can be removed by a special
scraper; but be careful not to damage
the ceramic hob frame when doing this.
Caution! The sharp blade should always
be protected by adjusting the cover (just
push it with your thumb). Injuries are
possible so be careful when using this
instrument – keep out of reach of children.
•
Appropriate light cleaning or washing
products are recommended, such as e.g.
any kind of liquids or emulsions for fat
removal. If the recommended products
are not available, it is advisable to use
a solution of warm water with a little
washing–up liquid or cleaning products
for stainless steel sinks.
Important!
Do not use any abrasive agents, harsh de-
tergents or abrasive objects for cleaning.
Only use warm water with a small amount
of dishwashing liquid to clean the front
of the appliance. Do not use washing
powders or creams.
