become greasy. You must clean these regularly by
following the procedures below if you want your
appliance to look its best, perform well and have a
long life.
• Care must be taken when wiping exposed stainless
steel edges, they can be sharp!
• The stainless steel gas hob can be cleaned with
stainless steel cleaners if it becomes soiled or
discoloured.
• A suitable cleaner can be purchased from Electrolux
Customer Care Centres.

cleaned immediately after soiling.

cleaners, or clean them in a dishwasher.
CERAMIC HOTPLATE
• Remove all spilt food and fat with the supplied razor
blade scraper, while the ceramic glass is still warm but
not hot. Wipe clean with dishwashing detergent on a
damp cloth.
• If aluminium foil, plastic items or high sugar content
foods are allowed to melt on the ceramic glass, clean
immediately with the supplied razor blade scraper
before the surface has cooled down, otherwise pitting
of the surface can occur.
NOTE: Items with high sugar content not only include jam
and fruit, but also vegetables such as peas, tomatoes
and carrots.
• When the ceramic glass is cool, apply a suitable
ceramic glass cleaner.
• It is important to follow the cleaner manufacturer's
instructions. Remove any cleaning residue from the
surface as staining of the cooktop may occur.
• Do not use abrasive sponges or scourers, as they may
scratch the surface.

deterioration is excluded from the warranty.

cleaning, using a ceramic glass cleaner.
OVEN
• Always keep your appliance clean. Ensure that fats and
oils do not accumulate around elements, burners or fans.
• Always keep the oven dish, baking trays, grill dish
and grill dish inserts clean, as any fat deposits may
catch fire.
• Always wrap your meats in foil or an oven roasting bag
to minimise cleaning. Any polyunsaturated fats can leave
a varnish-like residue which is very difficult to remove.
GRILL
• Always keep the grill dish and grill dish insert clean,
as any fat deposits may catch fire.
