Cleaning
Let the appliance cool down before
cleaning.
Make sure that no cooking zone is
accidentally in operation during and after
cleaning.
Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning!
Cleaning the Glass Ceramic Surface
Early cleaning of the glass ceramic surface will
save difficult removal of stubborn soiling later.
Dried and burnt remains require a greater cleaning
effort.
►
Only use a soft cloth or sponge, water and a
cleaning or care agent suitable for glass
ceramic surfaces to clean the glass ceramic
surface. It is recommended to use products with
a protective effect. The resulting film largely
protects the surface against stubborn stains
and damage to the markings.
Never clean the glass ceramic surface with
abrasive cleaning agents, scratchy all-
purpose sponges, metal wool etc. This can
damage the glass ceramic surface.
Do not use chemically aggressive cleaning
agents such as oven sprays or stain
removers either.
►
Remove spillage immediately.
►
Remove light soiling with a damp cloth and
washing up liquid.
►
Remove heavier soiling (sauce, soup stains
etc.) by applying a cleaning agent to the hob
surface with a clean cloth or sponge and
rubbing.
Observe
the
cleaning
agent
manufacturer's instructions.
►
Encrusted over-boiled milk and foods not
containing sugar can be removed both warm
(not heat!) and cold. Never scrape off encrusted
remains with serrated knives, metal wool or
similar.
►
Remove
lime
scale
stains
(yellowish
discolouration) with small amounts of lime
dissolving agents (e.g. vinegar, lemon juice, de-
scaler). Let the agent soak in for longer for
heavier stains. Then wipe off with a clean,
damp cloth.
Improper cleaning can damage the markings or the
glass ceramic surface.
Cleaning the Stainless Steel Parts
Clean the stainless steel parts after every use.
Early cleaning of the surface will save difficult
removal of stubborn soiling later.
►
Always clean stainless steel parts in the
direction of the grind, never by circular
movements.
►
Only use a soft cloth or sponge, water and a
suitable cleaning or care agent to clean the
stainless steel parts.
Caution: These cleaning agents may not be
used.
Never clean the stainless steel parts with
abrasive cleaning agents, scratchy all-
purpose sponges, metal wool etc. The
surface and the markings could be
damaged.
Chemically aggressive cleaning agents such
as oven sprays or stain removers and rust
removers and cleaners for the dish washer
may not be used either.
In addition, do not use cleaning agents that
contain soda, lyes, ammonia, acids or
chlorides.
Make sure that the cleaning agent that you
use does not contain chlorides, acids, salts
or
similarly
aggressive
ingredients.
Otherwise they might attack the surface of
the product.
