To prevent the risk of scratches and damage to the surface structure of glass, stainless steel and aluminium fronted appliances pay particular attention to the following cleaning instructions.
Glass fronted appliances
The appliance front and controls are susceptible to scratches and abrasions.
Avoid:
–abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners and cream cleaners,
–abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents,
–oven sprays.
Clean the door handle and the control elements regularly, preferably after each use.
This will help prevent grease and other deposits adhering to surfaces and becoming difficult to remove.
Aluminium fronted appliances
Aluminium is affected by the way that light falls on it, by the surrounding environment and by the angle you observe it from.
Aluminium surfaces and controls may suffer discolouration or damage if soiling is left on them for too long. Remove any soiling straight away.
The appliance front and controls are susceptible to scratches and abrasions.
Avoid:
–cleaning agents containing soda, acids or chlorides,
–abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners and cream cleaners,
–abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents,
–stainless steel cleaners,
–cleaning agents containing descaling agents,
–dishwasher detergent,
–oven sprays.
