caso Blue Two
This chapter provides you with important notices with regard to
cleaning and maintaining the device. Please observe the
notices to prevent damages due to cleaning the device
incorrectly and to ensure trouble-free operation.
Attention
Please observe the following safety notices, before you
commence with cleaning the device:
► The device must be cleaned and food residues must be
removed at regular intervals. If the device is not maintained
in a clean condition, this will have a detrimental effect on the
service life of the device and can also result in a dangerous
condition in the device as well as in the growth of fungus and
bacteria.
► Switch the device off prior to cleaning it and unplug the plug
from the wall power outlet.
► The hob can be hot after use. There is a danger of burning!
Wait until the appliance has cooled down.
► Clean the hob after use as soon as it has cooled down.
Extended waiting unnecessarily complicates cleaning and
can make it impossible in extreme cases. Excessive
accumulations of dirt can even damage the device under
certain circumstances.
► If dampness penetrates into the device, this can damage the
electronic components. Please ensure that no liquid can
enter the interior of the device through the ventilation slots.
► Do not immerse the appliance in water or other liquids, and
do not put it in the dishwasher.
► Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents or
solvents.
► Do not scrape off stubborn dirt with hard items.
Ceramic hob, Housing and Operating Panel
Clean the hob, the housing of the device and the operating
panel with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
Attention
► In order not to damage the plastic components, do not use
any solvent-based cleaning detergents such as, for example,
petrol.
