• • Stainless steel can be stained if it remains in contact with highly calcareous water or aggressive detergents (containing phosphorous) for an extended period of time. It is recommended that these parts be rinsed thoroughly with water and then dried well. It is also a good idea to clean up any spills; Before using the ceramic glass module, the surface must be cleaned, using a damp cloth to remove dust or food residues. The ceramic glass surface should be cleaned regularly with a soultion of warm water and a non-abrasive detergent. Periodically, special products will need to be used to clean the surface. First, remove all food buildup or grease with a cleaning scraper, e.g. (not supplied) (Fig. A). Clean the cooking surface when it is still warm with a suitable cleaning product and paper towels. Then rub with a damp cloth and dry. Aluminum foil, plastic items, objects made of synthetic material, sugar or foods with a high sugar content that have melted onto the surface must be removed immediatley with a scraper while the cooking surface is still hot. Special cleaning products for ceramic glass surfaces form a transparent protective layer which fights diry buildup. This also protects the surface from damage caused by food with a high sugar content. Do not use abrasive sponges or cleaning products under any circumstances. This holds true for chemically aggressive cleaners, like oven sprays and stain removers (Fig. B); Fig. A • When cleaning the grill, it is recommeded that you do so while it is still hot, using the handles provided to move it from the cooktop to the sink.
