Cleaning and maintenance

• Observe all safety and warning information (see „Safety").
• When conducting scheduled cleaning and maintenance, ensure that the cooktop and cooktop extractor are fully switched off and cooled so as to prevent injury (see „Functions and operation").
  • Regular cleaning and maintenance ensures long service life of the product and optimal function.
• Adhere to the following cleaning and maintenance cycles:

Tab. 8.1 Cleaning cycles

Component	Cleaning cycle
Operating panel	Immediately after every soiling
Cooktop	Clean with conventional glass ceramic detergents immediately after soiling and on a weekly basis
Cooktop extractor	weekly
Air inlet nozzle and stainless steel filter	after cooking very greasy dishes; at least once a week, when the fan power level indicator shows by hand or in the dishwasher (at 65°C max.); clean stainless steel surfaces in the polishing direction only!
Air guiding housing	Every 6 months or when replacing the activated charcoal filter
Activated charcoal filter (with recirculation only)	replace if odours have built up, extraction power is dwindling or the fan power level indicator shows

Cleaning agents

Due to the use of aggressive cleaning agents and abrasion caused by the pot bases the surface will become damaged and dark stains will occur.

To clean the cooktop, you need a special glass ceramic scraper and suitable cleaning agents.

• Never use steam cleaners, abrasive sponges, scouring pads or chemically aggressive cleaning agents (e.g. oven cleaner spray).
• Make sure that the cleaning agent does not contain any sand, soda, acids, lyes or chloride.

For the air inlet nozzle and grease filter

• Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents or agents containing acid or lye.

Cooktop and extractor care

• Never use the cooktop as a work or storage surface.
• Do not push or pull cookware over the cooktop.
• Always lift pots and pans.
• Keep the cooktop and extractor clean.
• Remove any dirt immediately.
• Only use cookware suitable for glass ceramic cooktops (see „Appliance description").

Cleaning the cooktop

When the cooktop extractor is in use the air inlet nozzle must be fitted so that no small or light objects such as fabric or paper cleaning cloths can be sucked in.

• Make sure that the cooktop is switched off (see „Functions and operation").
• Wait until all cooking zones are cold.
• Remove all coarse dirt and food residues from the cooktop using a glass ceramic scraper.
• Apply the cleaning agent to the cold cooktop.
• Spread the cleaning agent using kitchen roll or a clean cloth.
• Wipe the cooktop clean with a damp cloth.
• Dry the cooktop with a clean cloth.

If the cooktop is hot:

• Remove stubborn residues of plastic, aluminium foil, sugar or sweet dishes from the hot cooking zone immediately using a glass ceramic scraper to prevent burning.

Heavy soiling

• Remove heavy soiling and marks (limescale marks, mother-of-pearl-like shiny marks) using cleaning products while the cooktop is still warm.
• Wipe off any food that boils over with a damp cloth.
• Remove any remaining dirt with the glass ceramic scraper.
• Always remove any seeds, crumbs or similar that fall onto the cooktop during cooking immediately to prevent the surface getting scratched.

Any changes in colour or glossy spots do not mean that the cooktop is damaged. They do not affect the functionality of the cooktop or the stability of the glass ceramic panel.

Changes in the colour of the cooktop are the result of residues which have not been removed and have burnt on.

Glossy spots are the result of wear by the pan base, especially if aluminium-based cookware or unsuitable cleaning agents are used. These are difficult to remove.

Cleaning the cooktop extractor

The air inlet nozzle and stainless steel grease filter absorb the greasy particles from cooking vapours.

• Make sure that the cooktop and cooktop extractor are switched off (see „Functions and operation").
• Wait until the fan indicator shows
• Clean the cooktop extractor in accordance with the cleaning cycles.
• Clean the surfaces of the extraction system using a soft, damp cloth, detergent or a mild window cleaning agent.
• Soften dried on dirt using a damp cloth (do not scrape it off!).

Removing the air inlet nozzle

3. Inlet opening

• Take hold of the stainless steel grease filter by the handle [2].
• Pull the stainless steel grease filter [1] up and out of the suction opening [3].

Cleaning the air inlet nozzle and stainless steel grease filter

If it is no longer possible to clean the stainless steel grease filter completely, it must be replaced.

Manual cleaning

• Use a cleaner and degreaser in one.
• Rinse the air inlet nozzle and stainless steel grease filter with hot water.
• Use a soft brush to clean the air inlet nozzle and stainless steel grease filter.
• After cleaning, rinse the air inlet nozzle and stainless steel grease filter well.

Cleaning in the dishwasher

• Remove coarse food residues from the stainless steel filter
• Rinse the air inlet nozzle and stainless steel grease filter with a rinsing programme at a maximum of 65°C.

To prevent water from dripping into the appliance, it is recommendable to shake the nozzle well upon removal from the dishwater and, if necessary, to dry it with a tea towel.

Fitting the components

Inserting the stainless steel grease filter

• Take hold of the stainless steel grease filter by the handle [2].
• Insert the stainless steel grease filter [1] in the inlet opening [3]. A lock is not provided or necessary.

Inserting the air inlet nozzle

• Insert the air inlet nozzle in the inlet opening.
• Make sure it is positioned correctly.

Removing liquids from the appliance

Any liquids that flow into the appliance through the inlet opening are caught by the stainless steel grease filter (up to 150 ml) and in the air guiding housing. Do the following:

• Switch off the fan and deactivate the after-run function (see „Functions and operation").
• Remove the air inlet nozzle and stainless steel grease filter (see „Cleaning and maintenance").
• Empty the stainless steel grease filter.
• Check whether any liquid has gathered in the base of the air guiding housing.
• If necessary, wipe the liquid up from the housing base from above through the inlet opening using a sponge or cloth.
• Clean the air guiding housing see „Cleaning the air guiding housing".
• To dry the odour filter and duct parts respectively, switch on the cooktop extractor at a minimum power level of 5.
  • After 120 minutes the cooktop extractor will automatically switch to the automatic after-run function (see „Appliance description").

Cleaning the air guiding housing

Grease particles and limescale residues from cooking vapours can settle on the surface of the air guiding housing. For this reason, regular cleaning is essential.
The air guiding housing can be found on the bottom of the cooktop inside the floor unit.

Replacing the activated charcoal filter

An activated charcoal filter will only be fitted with the stainless steel grease filter if the cooktop extractor is used in recirculation mode. The activated charcoal filter absorbs cooking odours that arise during cooking.

The activated charcoal filter must be replaced F when the fan indicator shows (filter service display). You can obtain the activated charcoal filter PUAKF from your specialised retailer or by contacting BORA via the website at www.bora.com/filter.

• Make sure that the cooktop and cooktop extractor are switched off (see „Functions and operation").
• Wait until the fan indicator shows.

Removing the activated charcoal filter

• Remove the air inlet nozzle and stainless steel grease filter.
• Inside the inlet opening [2] pull the filter replacement cover [1] out through the opening in the filter housing.
