Regular cleaning ensures that the VarioCooking
Center
®
works smoothly and the food is prepared
hygienically.
Caution!
- Wear the correct protective clothing, gloves,
goggles and a mask.
- The base of the pan may be hot! The cleaning
water can heat up quickly. Risk of scalding.
- Do not spray the underside of the pan base with
water or cleaning agents.
- Only use scouring products on the inside of the
pan. All the other surfaces scratch easily.
- Do not use acids or aggressive materials.
- Do not use high pressure cleaners.

valve cover, paying particular attention to the seal.
Avoid damaging the threaded rod and seal (do not
use sharp-edged tools).
Screw in the valve cover once more after cleaning.
Warning: If cleaned as described in the instructions,
the seal should be replaced after no more than
1000 operating hours. If the seal is constantly
exposed to oil or grease, the service life may be
greatly reduced.

immediately. (Article no.: 20.00.992).
