SUGARY SPILLAGES
).
1.
Disconnect the appliance from the
mains (fuse-box).
2.
Use a suitable detergent for glass
ceramic while the glass ceramic is
still warm - but not hot!
3.
Clean with a soft cloth / kitchen
paper and water, then dry carefully.
4.
Connect the appliance to the mains
again.
While the appliance is disconnected
from the mains the residual heat
indicator does not work, so the
cooking zones may be still hot. Be
very careful.
Scourers,
nylon-scourers
and
abrasive detergents can scratch the
glass ceramic. Read the product
information of these detergents, so
you know if they are suitable to clean
glass ceramic.
Do not leave any residuals of a
detergent on the glass ceramic as it
can turn stained permanently.

CONTAINING FOOD ON THE GLASS CERAMIC
.
Remove such a contamination
immediately with a suitable glass
ceramic scraper. Beware of cooking
zones which are still hot!
1.
Disconnect the appliance from the
mains (fuse-box).
2.
Hold the scraper in a 30

scrape off the contamination to a
cold area.
3.
Clean the contaminated area with a
dish towel / kitchen paper.
4.
Proceed as described in steps 2 - 4 in
the previous section.
Remove such contaminations as
soon as possible. When they cool
down on the glass ceramic, they are
difficult to remove and may damage
the glass ceramic permanently.
Be very careful when using the
scraper so that you do not cut
yourself (especially, when you have
removed the safety cover).
