CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
By ensuring proper cleaning and mainte-
nance of your cooker you can have a sig-
nificant influence on the continuing fault-free
operation of your appliance.
Before you start cleaning, the cooker must
be switched off and you should ensure
that all knobs are set to the ""/"0" posi-
tion. Do not start cleaning until the cooker
has completely cooled.
Ceramic hob
The hob should be cleaned regularly after
each use. If possible, it is recommended
that the hob is washed while still warm
(after the heating zone indicator goes
off). Do not allow the hob to get heavily
stained; particualrly from burnt–on spill-
ages from boiled over liquids.
When cleaning do not use cleaning agents
with a strong abbrasive effect, such as
e.g. scouring powders containing an
abrasive, abrasive compounds, abrasive
stones, pumice stones, wire brushes and
so on. They may scratch the hob surface,
causing irreversible damage.
Do not use the cleaning fluid "Cillit" for
cleaning the oven.
Large spillages that are firmly stuck to the
hob can be removed by a special scraper;
but be careful not to damage the ceramic
hob frame when doing this.
Scraper for cleaning the hob
Caution! The sharp blade should always
be protected by adjusting the cover (just
push it with your thumb). Injuries are pos-
sible so be careful when using this instru-
ment – keep out of reach of children.
Appropriate light cleaning or washing
products are recommended, such as e.g.
any kind of liquids or emulsions for fat
removal. In particular, special cleaning
products such as COLLO Luneta, Sidol
Stahlglanz, Stahl–Fix for washing and
cleaning and Cera–Fix for maintenance
are recommended. If the recommended
products are not available, it is advisable
to use a solution of warm water with a little
washing–up liquid or cleaning products for
stainless steel sinks.
