Cleaning appliance

▯Empty the cooking basin after each use and clean it with dishwashing liquid and a soft dishwashing brush. Don't treat the cooking basin with stainless steel care products, since they normally aren't food-safe.

▯Grime, salt or lime deposits can cause corrosion damage.

▯Clean the cooking inserts and the residuary filter in the dishwasher or with mild soapy water. Only clean the hand grip for the cooking inserts by hand.

▯Dry the chamber thoroughly with a dishtowel. The glass cover shouldn't be put on as long as the cooking basin is still damp.

▯If a white deposit forms in the cooking basin due to very hard water: Wipe out cooking basin with a mixture of vinegar and water or a food-safe decalcifier. Rinse out afterwards with clear water.

▯After drying, polish the cooking basin with a soft cloth and a drop of cooking oil.

After cleaning and drying, you can store the cleaned cooking inserts and the grip in the cooking basin. The glass cover must be turned over so that the appliance cover (special accessory) lies correctly on the surface.

Note: After a few hours of operation, the heating contours begin to show on the bottom of the basin. This has no negative effect on the functionality or quality of the appliance.
