Cleaning the appliance after each use
1. Food containing sugar, plastics, tin foil residues should be removed at once using a
scraper. Place a scraper on the glass ceramic surface at an angle and remove residues
by sliding the blade over the surface. Wipe the appliance with a damp cloth and a little
washing up liquid. Finally, rub the appliance dry using a clean cloth .
2. Limescale rings, water rings, fat splashes, shiny metallic discolorations should be re-
moved after the appliance has cooled down using cleaner for glass ceramic or stainless
steel.
