6. Cleaning and Maintenance
This chapter provides you with important notices with regard to cleaning and maintaining the
device. Please observe the notices to prevent damages due to cleaning the device
incorrectly and to ensure trouble-free operation.
6.1 Safety information
Please observe the following safety notices, before you commence with cleaning the device:
► The device must be cleaned and food residues must be removed at regular intervals. If
the device is not maintained in a clean condition, this will have a detrimental effect on the
service life of the device and can also result in a dangerous condition in the device as
well as in the growth of fungus and bacteria.
► Switch the device off prior to cleaning it and unplug the plug from the wall power outlet.
► The hob can be hot after use. There is a danger of burning! Wait until the appliance has
cooled down.
► Clean the hob after use as soon as it has cooled down. Extended waiting unnecessarily
complicates cleaning and can make it impossible in extreme cases. Excessive
accumulations of dirt can even damage the device under certain circumstances.
► If dampness penetrates into the device, this can damage the electronic components.
Please ensure that no liquid can enter the interior of the device through the ventilation
slots.
► Do not immerse the appliance, its cables and the plug in water or other liquids, and do
not put it in the dishwasher.
► Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
► Do not scrape off stubborn dirt with hard items.

detergents such as, for example, petrol.
