Special information for appliances
with a stainless steel casing
A commercially available non-abrasive
stainless steel cleaning agent should be
used for cleaning stainless steel surfaces.
Treatment with a stainless steel preser-
vative is recommended to prevent sur-
faces becoming quickly re-soiled. Apply
the agent all over and economically
using a soft cloth.
!
Never use stainless steel cleaning
agents in the vicinity of the control
elements.
When cleaning metal grease filters take
care not to damage the mesh. Frequent
cleaning or the use of aggressive cleaning
agents can cause colour changes to the
metal surface. These do not affect to the
filter function and are not reasons for
complaints.
