Once the cooking process is finished and the device is cooled down, disconnect the
plug from the out-let!
► Do not place any empty cookware on the ceramic field. Heating an empty pot or pan
activates the overheating protection and the device turns off.
► Do not operate the device if it is damaged in any way or does not function properly.
► The use of accessories and spare parts not recommended by the manufacturer may
lead to damage on the device and injuries.
16 Cleaning and Maintenance
This chapter provides you with important notices with regard to cleaning and
maintaining the device. Please observe the notices to prevent damages due to cleaning
the device incorrectly and to ensure trouble-free operation.
16.1 Safety information
Attention
Please observe the following safety notices, before you commence with cleaning the
device:
► The device must be cleaned and food residues must be removed at regular intervals. If
the device is not maintained in a clean condition, this will have a detrimental effect on
the service life of the device and can also result in a dangerous condition in the device
as well as in the growth of fungus and bacteria.
► Switch the device off prior to cleaning it and unplug the plug from the wall power outlet.
► The hob can be hot after use. There is a danger of burning! Wait until the appliance has
cooled down.
► Clean the hob after use as soon as it has cooled down. Extended waiting unnecessarily
complicates cleaning and can make it impossible in extreme cases. Excessive
accumulations of dirt can even damage the device under certain circumstances.
► If dampness penetrates into the device, this can damage the electronic components.
Please ensure that no liquid can enter the interior of the device through the ventilation
slots.
► Do not immerse the appliance in water or other liquids, and do not put it in the
dishwasher.
► Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
► Do not scrape off stubborn dirt with hard items.
