Cleaning and care
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit. Pressurized steam could cause permanent damage to the surface.
Do not use any sharp pointed objects which could damage the seal between the ceramic surface, the surrounding frame and the countertop.
Never use abrasive cleaners, caustic (oven) cleaners, dishwasher detergent, scouring pads, steel wool or hard brushes. They will damage the surface.
The ceramic surface can be cleaned using a cleaner for ceramic surfaces. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Make sure that no cleaner residue remains on the ceramic surface by carefully wiping the combiset with a damp cloth. They may damage the combiset or produce toxic fumes when heated.
Be sure that pot and pan bases are clean and dry.
After cleaning dry the ceramic surface with a soft cloth to prevent a build up of limescale deposits.
Clean any spills immediately before they become difficult to remove.
Clean the appliance regularly, preferably after each use. Allow the appliance to cool before cleaning.
