Cleaning and care

[Sugar and food containing sugar (i.e. marmalade) and melted plastic must immediately be removed from the hot cooking surface with the

cleaning scraper. If not, the cooking surface can be ruined while it’s cooling down.

[Steam and/or pressure cleaning machines can’t be used to clean the appliance! This can damage the unit, and result in the risk of personal

injury.

[Risk of burning! Make sure the appliance has cooled down before cleaning. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface,

you could be burned by the resulting steam. Be aware that some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

[Please note the instructions regarding cleansers.

ΦClean the cooking surface after every use. Food residue that hasn’t been removed will burn into the surface the next time it’s turned on and then

these incrustations may be permanent.

ΦCleanser residues can cause discoloration the next time you turn on the cook top. Cloths and sponges that have been used to clean other

surfaces can cause discoloring, too.

ΦVSR O-FIX-C is the perfect cleanser for glass ceramic. You can get it from KÜPPERSBUSCH Customer Service.

Do not use any

-aggressive or bleaching cleaning agents that contain active oxygen, chlorine or corrosive components.

-abrasive or aggressive cleaning or scouring agents like steel wool, soap-filled steel wool, metal or plastic sponges or similar agents with an abrasive surface.

Please note the information for the cleaning scraper

[CAUTION! Risk of cutting! The blade of the cleaning scraper is very sharp!

Always keep the cleaning scraper flat on the surface and push the caking away.

[ Do not scratch the surface with the edge of the scraper and don’t damage the sealing with the edge.

Cleaning the cooking surface

–Use the cleaning scraper to remove all food residue and fat splashes from the hot cooking surface.

–When the cooking surface has cooled, clean it with water and a small amount of detergent, with a cleanser for glass ceramic surfaces or with VSR O-FIX-C. A soft brush or a soft sponge can also be used.

–Wipe off the surface with clear water.

–Dry it thoroughly.

Remove caking

Heavy food residue should be soaked first. Use a wet cloth for best results. It will be easier to remove the food residue.

Care of the cooking surface

Clean the glass ceramic surfaces with a cleanser to protect it from discoloring, and reduce the danger of damage from sugar. It can also remove stains and discoloration

What do you do if…

... one or more sensors don’t react to touch?

Possible cause: The sensors constantly adapt in sensitivity to ambient conditions. Unfavorable conditions (i.e. if something is laying on a sensor) may cause the sensors not to react for several minutes.)

Wait for about 15 minutes or pull the appropriate fuse and then re-in-

sert it. Repeat this procedure if necessary!

The keys have adapted and will react to touch again.

... one or more sensors don’t react to touch despite repeating this procedure?

Possible cause: Faulty sensor key or component.

If you’ve repeated the procedure and the keys still don’t react, pull the fuse again and then contact our Customer Service.

... the circle next to the cooking setting lights up?

Possible cause:

Defect of the pan recognition function.

If this circle lights up, there is a defect in the pan recognition function,. You can nevertheless continue to use the cooking zone.
