Cleaning and care


Do not let water get into the
electronic unit.

Steam from a steam cleaning ap-
pliance could reach the electrical
components and cause a short cir-
cuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner!
The data plate located inside the ap-
pliance must not be removed. It con-
tains information which is required in
the event of a service call.

Cleaning agents

To avoid damaging the surfaces of your
appliance, do not use:
– cleaning agents containing soda, am-
monia, acids or chlorides
– cleaning agents containing descaling
agents
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners
– solvent-based cleaning agents
– stainless steel cleaning agents
– dishwasher cleaner
– oven sprays
– glass cleaning agents
– hard, abrasive sponges and brushes,
e.g. pot scourers
– melamine eraser blocks
– sharp metal scrapers.
Cleaning and conditioning agents
used inside the appliance must be
food safe.

We recommend using lukewarm water
with a little washing-up liquid to clean
surfaces of the appliance.
