Housing

General notes
Warning: The surfaces and controls
are susceptible to scratches and
abrasions. Please observe the
following cleaning instructions.
^ All external surfaces and controls can
be cleaned using warm water with a
little washing-up liquid applied with a
well wrung-out soft sponge or cloth.
^ Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft
cloth.
Do not use too much water when
cleaning the controls. Water could
penetrate into the electronics and
cause damage.

Cleaning and care

Avoid:
– cleaning agents containing soda,
acids, chlorides or solvents,
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners or cream cleaners
and abrasive sponges, as well as pot
scourers or sponges which have
been used previously with abrasive
cleaning agents.
These will damage the surface
material.
Important for appliances with
stainless steel housing
(This infomation does not apply to the
controls).
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
with a proprietary non-abrasive
cleaning agent designed specifically
for use on stainless steel.
To help prevent re-soiling, a proprietary
conditioning agent for stainless steel
can also be used. Apply sparingly with
an even pressure in the direction of the
"grain".
Important for appliances with
lacquered housing
(special finish)
Be very careful, as it is very difficult to
clean this type of surface without
causing minor marks to the surface
material. This can become particularly
noticeable with darker colours and if
there is halogen lighting in the kitchen.
