Care and cleaning
In this chapter you will find tips and information on
optimal care and cleaning of your appliance.
9 WARNING
Risk of burns
The appliance grows hot during operation. Let
appliance cool down prior to cleaning.
9 WARNING
Risk of electrical shock
Don't use a high-pressure cleaner or steam
cleaner.
Cleaning appliance
Empty the cooking basin after each use and clean
it with dishwashing liquid and a soft dishwashing
brush. Don't treat the cooking basin with
stainless steel care products, since they normally
aren't food-safe.
Grime, salt or lime deposits can cause corrosion
damage.
Clean the cooking inserts and the residuary filter
in the dishwasher or with mild soapy water. Only
clean the hand grip for the cooking inserts by
hand.
Dry the chamber thoroughly with a dishtowel. The
glass cover shouldn't be put on as long as the
cooking basin is still damp.
If a white deposit forms in the cooking basin due
to very hard water: Wipe out cooking basin with a
mixture of vinegar and water or a food-safe
decalcifier. Rinse out afterwards with clear water.
After drying, polish the cooking basin with a soft
cloth and a drop of cooking oil.
After cleaning and drying, you can store the cleaned
cooking inserts and the grip in the cooking basin. The
glass cover must be turned over so that the appliance
cover (special accessory) lies correctly on the
surface.
Note: After a few hours of operation, the heating
contours begin to show on the bottom of the basin.
This has no negative effect on the functionality or
quality of the appliance.
Do not use these cleaning agents
Caustic or corrosive cleaners
Don't allow acidic cleaners (e.g. vinegar, citric
acid, etc.) to get on the frame or panel
Cleaners containing chlorine or large proportions
of alcohol
Baking oven spray
Hard, scratchy dish-washing sponges, brushes or
scourers
Thoroughly wash out new sponge cloths before
using them.
