CLEANING AND CARE
8.1
GLASS CERAMIC
We recommend using pots and pans with completely flat bases to avoid any potential surface damage such
as scratches. If you use a cold cooking surface as a work surface, remember to wipe it down afterwards.
Remaining crumbs or grains underneath cookware may cause scratches. However, if you do have signs of use
like this on your cooking surface, do not worry. Scratches will not impair the cooking process in any way.
Cleaning tips:
First, use a scraper to remove all large pieces of dirt and food leftovers from the cooking surface.
Then squeeze a few drops of a suitable cleaning product on to the cold surface and rub it in with kitchen
paper or a clean cloth.
Then wipe down the cooking surface with water and rub it dry with a clean cloth.
Clean your cooking surface regularly, preferably after each use.
Important note
If any plastic objects, aluminium foil, sugar or food containing sugar accidentally melt on to the hot cooking
surface, wipe it off the hot cooking zone immediately with a cleaning scraper to prevent surface damage.
Before cooking with food containing a lot of sugar (e.g. jam), always apply a protective agent. Never use
scouring sponges or scouring products. Chemically aggressive cleaners such as oven spray and stain remover
are also unsuitable.
8.2
DAILY CLEANING
For cleaning: switch all appliances off. Wait until the appliance to be cleaned has cooled to hand
temperature before starting to clean.
Please note:
Do not use steel wool or sharp objects.
Your induction cooking appliance is not splash-water resistant. Therefore you should not use any
running water when cleaning, and avoid direct contact with water vapour.
To remove dirt and deposits on side walls, you can use standard pH-neutral cleaning products based on
non-ionic and anionic tensides and mild organic solvents such as alcohol and glycols.
Finally, remove all cleaning product residue, wipe down the cleaned surfaces with water, and rub dry
with a dry cloth.
8.3
WEEKLY CLEANING
In addition to daily cleaning, the filters fitted to the air inlets of your units must be cleaned once a week,
firstly to ensure a sufficient supply of cooling air and secondly to prevent the filters' effectiveness for
grease and other vapours from being impaired. To do this:
Remove the filters fitted in each air inlet.
Clean the filters in a dishwasher or with hot water and soap.
Refit the filters correctly before using the appliances again.
Important note
Dirty filters may cause units and appliances to overheat or become dirty, resulting in a drop in
performance and damage to the appliances!
