6 Maintenance and Cleaning
6.1 General Cleaning Information
General warnings
• Wait for the product to cool before clean-
ing the product. Hot surfaces may cause
burns!
• Do not apply the detergents directly on
the hot surfaces. This may cause per-
manent stains.
• The product should be thoroughly
cleaned and dried after each operation.
Thus, food residues shall be easily
cleaned and these residues shall be pre-
vented from burning when the product is
used again later. Thus, the service life of
the appliance extends and frequently
faced problems are decreased.
• Do not use steam cleaning products for
cleaning.
• Some detergents or cleaning agents
cause damage to the surface. Unsuitable
cleaning agents are: bleach, cleaning
products containing ammonia, acid or
chloride, steam cleaning products, de-
scaling agents, stain and rust removers,
abrasive cleaning products (cream clean-
ers, scouring powder, scouring cream,
abrasive and scratching scrubber, wire,
sponges, cleaning cloths containing dirt
and detergent residues).
• No special cleaning material is needed in
the cleaning made after each use. Clean
the appliance using dishwashing deter-
gent, warm water and a soft cloth or
sponge and dry it with a dry cloth.
• Be sure to completely wipe off any re-
maining liquid after cleaning and immedi-
ately clean any food splashing around
during cooking.
• Do not wash any component of your ap-
pliance in a dishwasher unless otherwise
stated in the user's manual.
Inox - stainless surfaces
• Do not use acid or chlorine-containing
cleaning agents to clean stainless-inox
surfaces and handles.
• Stainless-inox surface may change col-
our in time. This is normal. After each op-
eration, clean with a detergent suitable
for the stainless or inox surface.
• Clean with a soft soapy cloth and liquid
(non-scratching) detergent suitable for
inox surfaces, taking care to wipe in one
direction.
• Remove lime, oil, starch, milk and protein
stains on the glass and inox surfaces im-
mediately without waiting. Stains may
rust under long periods of time.
• Cleaners sprayed/applied to the surface
should be cleaned immediately. Abrasive
cleaners left on the surface cause the
surface to turn white.
Glass surfaces
• When cleaning glass surfaces, do not use
hard metal scrapers and abrasive clean-
ing materials. They can damage the
glass surface.
• Clean the appliance using dishwashing
detergent, warm water and a microfiber
cloth specific for glass surfaces and dry
it with a dry microfiber cloth.
• If there is residual detergent after clean-
ing, wipe it with cold water and dry with a
clean and dry microfiber cloth. Residual
detergent may damage the glass surface
next time.
• Under no circumstances should the
dried-up residue on the glass surface be
cleaned off with serrated knives, wire
wool or similar scratching tools.
• You can remove the calcium stains (yel-
low stains) on the glass surface with the
commercially available descaling agent,
with a descaling agent such as vinegar or
lemon juice.
• If the surface is heavily soiled, apply the
cleaning agent on the stain with a sponge
and wait a long time for it to work prop-
erly. Then clean the glass surface with a
wet cloth.
• Discolorations and stains on the glass
surface are normal and not defects.
