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, resulting 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,
be careful to avoid steam burn. 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
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,
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
–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 to do if trouble occurs...

However, there are some problems that you can handle yourself. First, check and see if there have been any operating errors. Remember – repairs during the warranty period are not free of charge if they are caused by operating er- rors or

|
|
|
What is to be done if…
... one or more sensors don’t react to touch?
Possible cause: The sensors constantly adapt in sensitivity to ambient conditions. Unfavorable conditions such as e.g. if something is laying on a sensor, may cause them not to react for several minutes.
Wait for about 15 minutes or pull the relevant fuse and then
it. Repeat this procedure if necessary!
The keys have adapted and now 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.
