SAFETY GUIDELINES
While the appliance is disconnected
from the mains the cooking zones
may be still hot. Be very careful.
Scourers,
abrasive detergents can scratch the
glass ceramic. Read the product
information of these detergents, so
you know if they are suitable to clean
glass ceramic.
Do not leave any residuals of a
detergent on the glass ceramic as it
can turn stained permanently.
Remove such contaminations as
soon as possible. When they cool
down on the glass ceramic, they are
difficult to remove and may damage
the glass ceramic permanently.
Be very careful when using the
scraper so that you do not cut
yourself (especially, when you have
removed the safety cover).
