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 abrasion.
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 or 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 acids, alkalis or soiling are left on them for too long. Remove these straight away.
The appliance front and controls are susceptible to scratches and abrasion.
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.
