WARNING
Risk of burns
The accessible parts get hot during operation.
Never touch hot parts. Keep children away.

Cleaning the appliance

▯
Empty the cooking basin after each use and clean it
with dishwashing liquid and a soft dishwashing
brush. The cooking basin should not be treated with
stainless steel care agents because these are
mostly not neutral as far as foodstuffs are
concerned.
▯
Grime, salt or lime deposits can cause corrosion
damage.
▯
Clean the cooking inserts and the leftovers strainer
in a dishwasher or with mild soap solution. The
hand grip for the cooking inserts must only be
cleaned by hand.
▯
Dry the cooking basin thoroughly with a soft cloth.
The glass cover should not be fitted while the
cooking basin is still moist.
▯
Polish the cooking basin with a soft cloth and a
drop of cooking oil after drying it.
After cleaning and drying, you can store the cleaned
cooking inserts and the hand grip in the cooking basin.
Turn over the glass cover to make sure that the
appliance cover (special accessory) will lie properly on
the recess.
Note: After a few hours of operation, the contours of the
heating elements will appear on the base of the basin.
This does not detrimentally influence the functions and
the quality of the appliance.

Descaling the cooking basin

You should descale the cooking basin if a white lining
forms in it due to limey water. Extreme scaling can
produce malfunctions on the appliance.
You will find a suitable descaler under the order number
00311138 in our online shop. Mix 40 ml (about 0.08
pint) of descaler in 200 ml (about 0.4 pint) of warm
water. If you would like to produce more or less descaler
solution, keep to the ratio of 1 part descaler : 5 parts
water.
Close the drain valve and pour the descaler solution
into the cooking basin. Remove the scale with a soft
dishwashing brush. Drain off the descaler liquid and
rinse thoroughly with clear water. Avoid skin contact
with the descaler solution. Also pay attention to the
information on the label.
Note: Residues of starchy foodstuffs (e.g. rice) in the
cooking inserts can also be removed very well with the
descaler solution.
