CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
By ensuring proper cleaning and maintenance of your cooker you can have a signicant inuence on the continuing faultfree
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 “l”/“0” position. Do not start cleaning until the cooker
has completely cooled.
Ceramic hob
l 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 spillages from boiled over liquids.

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 uid “Cillit” for
cleaning the oven.
l Large spillages that are rmly stuck to the
hob can be removed by a special scraper;
but be careful not to damage the ceramic
hob frame when doing this.
l Appropriate light cleaning or washing
products are recommended, such as e.g.
any kind of liquids or emulsions for fat
removal.
Oven

use. When cleaning the oven the lighting
should be switched on to enable you to
see the surfaces better.
l The oven chamber should only be washed
with warm water and a small amount of
washingup liquid.
