• Do not cool shock the unit by cooling it abruptly.
ATTENTION
Risk of physical damage from improper cleaning
• Do not clean the unit with a high-pressure cleaner or water
jet.
5.1 Preventing corrosion
Cleaning and caring for the unit
• Keep the surfaces of the unit clean and with access to air.
• Remove lime, grease, starch and protein deposits.
• Only expose parts made from non-rusting steel to brief contact
with highly acidic foods, spices, salts or the like.

steel spatulas.
• Do not use bleaching or chlorine-containing cleaning agents.
• Clean contact surfaces with water.
5.1.1 Protecting a frying surface made of steel
A frying surface made of steel will corrode, if the burnt-in surface is
damaged. This is not a deficiency in the unit but rather a
characteristic of a frying surface made of steel.
• Ensure that the burnt-in surface is not damaged by cleaning or
use.
• Do not use any scraping objects for cleaning.
