Cleaning and Care
Instructions
● Do not apply any caustic cleaners to the fascia panel or rotary switches!
● Do not spray or clean the appliance with water hoses, high pressure cleaners, high pressure
steam cleaners or steam cleaners!
● Follow the instructions supplied by the manufacturer of the cleaning product!
● Do not use any scouring cleaning product or damaged cleaning scrapers! These cause
scratches.
● Stainless steel may not come into prolonged contact with concentrated acids, essence of vinegar,
salt solution, mustard or spice mixtures. Prolonged contact with these substances will damage
the protective coating. Rinse stainless steel surfaces clean and rub them dry after use.
6.1
Notes on stainless steel (risk of corrosion!)
● Please note! Even high-quality stainless steel can corrode if handled improperly. Salt, acids, chlo
rine, iodine and food residues destroy the protective coating and can result in corrosion and pit
ting, also with high-quality stainless steel!
● The stainless steel surface forms a new protective layer after damage, but only if air or oxygen-
rich water has time to react with the surface.
● If residues, e.g. lime, protein or starches are not completely removed, it prevents air or oxygen-
rich water from getting to the stainless steel surface. A protective coating cannot be formed and
this causes corrosion e.g. pitting damage, even on high-quality steel. Therefore, clean thoroughly
to prevent residues from sticking.
6.2
Cleaning the hotplate
. Turn off appliance and let it cool down.
. Remove coarse dirt and food remains with a cleaning scraper.
● Attention: do not scratch the surface!
. Clean the hotplate using water, some detergent and a stainless steel pot scourer.
. Remove heavy contamination with an abrasive cleaning agent.
. Thoroughly rub the cleaned surfaces dry.
. Dry the hotplate by temporarily heating.
6.3
Clean stainless steel surfaces
. After using pungent cleaning agents, wash off the cleaned part thoroughly using water and rub
dry.
. Clean stainless steel surfaces with grease-dissolving cleaner or a special stainless steel cleaner.
. Dry cleaned parts and surfaces with a soft cloth.
