9 Cleaning and servicing
To keep your appliance working efficiently for a long
time, it is important to clean and maintain it carefully.
9.1 Cleaning product
You can obtain suitable cleaning products from after-
sales service or the online shop.
To protect the coating of the electric hotplate, water-
proof it with oil or a preserving agent that is available
on the market.
ATTENTION!
Unsuitable cleaning products may damage the sur-
faces of the appliance.

Do not use harsh or abrasive detergents.

Do not use steel wool.

Do not use a knife or sharp objects to remove dried-
on food remnants from the hob.

connection between the glass and the burner pan-
els, the metal frames or the glass/aluminium plates

controls.
1.
Allow the appliance to cool down.

Let the appliance dry completely. If there are water
droplets or damp areas at the start of cooking, this

are correctly positioned on the flame spreader.
