Keeping food hot
Your DUROTHERM keeps food warm for up to two hours. Always put your DUROTHERM
on its heat-retaining base immediately after cooking, and keep the lid on.
Tip
Refer to the DUROTHERM Soft Cooking brochure (Art. 1186) and the appropriate re-
cipes on www.kuhnrikon.ch

CLEANING AND CARE
–
For normal washing, a regular liquid detergent is perfectly adequate.
–
Your DUROTHERM is dishwasher-proof, including the lid and heat-retaining base,
but its plastic parts will stay shinier if you wash it by hand.
–
Due to surface oxidation, dishwashers are not good for DUROTHERM cookware
with brass fi ttings.
–
Overheating your DUROTHERM may cause burnt-in dirt that is hard to remove.
Never try to scrape it off with a knife, steel wool, copper cloth or anything else
abrasive. The best way to avoid scratches is to soften the dirt by soaking.
–
If the water is hard in your area, overheating your DUROTHERM can cause lime
deposits. This is perfectly natural, and the deposits can be removed with a few
drops of vinegar or lemon juice.
–
We recommend SWISS CLEANER for removing heavy lime deposits or other stains,
as well as for oxidized brass fi ttings. This is a special cleaning agent for stain-
less steel, brass, copper, nickel and ceramic hotplates (see DUROTHERM acces-
sories on pages 52 – 53).
–
SWISS CLEANER is also ideal for removing discolouration on the outside of your
DUROTHERM if the gas fl ame was too high.
