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

CONTAINING FOOD ON THE GLASS CERAMIC
.
Remove such a contamination im-
mediately with a suitable glass ce-
ramic 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
0
-angle and
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 dam-
age the glass ceramic permanently.
Be very careful when using the
scraper so that you do not cut your-
self (especially, when you have re-
moved the safety cover).
