Cleaning the appliance

▯
Drain the cooking basin after every use and clean
with soapy water and a soft brush. Do not apply
any stainless steel care products on the
cooking basin as these are usually not food
safe.
▯
Soiling, salt and limescale deposits can cause
corrosion.
▯
Clean the cooking inserts and the residue
strainer in a dishwasher or with soapy water. Only
clean the handle by hand.
▯
Thoroughly dry the cooking basin with a cloth. Do
not fit the glass cover while the cooking basin is
still moist.
▯
If a white coating should form in the cooking
basin due to hard water, wipe out the basin with a
water and vinegar mixture or a descaling agent
that is food safe. Rinse thoroughly with clear
water.
▯
Polish the cooking basin with a soft cloth and a
drop of cooking oil.
After cleaning and drying, you can store the cleaned
cooking inserts and the handle in the cooking basin.
Turn over the glass cover to make sure that the
appliance cover (special accessory) will lie properly
on the appliance.
Note: After a few hours of operation, the contours of
the heating elements will appear on the base of the
cooking basin. This does not detrimentally influence
the functions and the quality of the appliance.
