scratched. Do not use ceramic knives to cut food on the frying surface.
• Do not hit the frying surface with the turner or knife tip as this can cause
nicks in the frying surface.
• Over time, the frying surface will show signs of use. This will not affect the
functioning or quality of the appliance in any way.

7Care and maintenance
To avoid risk of burns, allow the appliance to cool down before
cleaning.
7.1Cleaning
Always clean the frying zone after use. This prevents food residue from
burning on. Dried-on or burned-on food residue is harder to clean off.
Use of improper cleaning techniques can result in damage to the markings
or surface.
Clean using the turner, a soft, heat-resistant cloth or sponge, water
and a suitable detergent and care product only. Always follow the
detergent manufacturer’s instructions for use.
➤ Put a few ice cubes or cold water on the hot frying surface (60-80 °C).
– Caution: This produces steam!
➤ Scrape the frying surface with the turner to remove most of the food
residue.
➤ Then clean the frying surface with water and detergent, rinse with clear
water and finally wipe dry.
➤ Remove limescale stains when cool with a small amount of limescale
remover (e.g. vinegar, lemon juice, descaler). Then wipe clean with a damp
cloth.
