Cleaning and care

Under no circumstances use a steam cleaner to clean this ap- pliance. Pressurized steam could cause permanent damage to the surface and to components for which the manufacturer cannot ac- cept responsibility.

Do not use any sharp pointed ob- jects which could damage the seal between the ceramic surface and the surrounding frame and between the frame and the top.

Never use scouring agents, pads, abrasive cleaning agents, or strong cleaners e.g. oven sprays, stain or rust removers, as these could dam- age the surface of the appliance.

Do not use liquid dish soap on the ceramic surface as it can leave a blue sheen on the surface which may be difficult to remove.

The ceramic surface can be cleaned using a cleaner for ceramic surfaces. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging.

Ensure that every trace of cleaner has been removed by rinsing the ce- ramic surface with clean water. Any remaining trace could taint food when the grill is next used.

After cleaning, thoroughly dry the ceramic surface with a soft cloth to prevent a build up of limescale deposits.

Clean the grill after each use.

Allow the grill to cool down. Use a damp cloth to remove any debris. Stub- born soiling can be removed with a shielded scraper blade.

Then apply a cleaner for ceramic sur- faces using a soft cloth or paper towel. This way any limescale deposits, caused by water boiling over and me- tallic marks (aluminium deposits) are removed.

Finally, wipe over the surface with a damp cloth and then dry with a soft, clean cloth.

Should any sugar, plastic or alumi- nium foil spill or fall on to the cooktop while it is in use, first turn off the cook- top. Then immediately, while the sur- face is still hot, use a shielded scraper blade to scrape off the sugar, plastic or aluminium foil, taking care not to burn yourself. Allow the cooktop to cool down and then clean with a suitable ceramic cooktop cleaner.
