Cleaning the outside of the range
Important!

Wipe the outside surfaces often, using warm water and a mild household detergent. The stainless steel may also be cleaned with a
suitable cleaner and polish.

compounds as these are corrosive and may damage the appearance of your range.
Caring for your worktop
Important!

is suitable for cleaning ceramic glass worktops.
• Use ceramic glass cleaner on the worktop while it is warm to touch. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. The
worktop may become stained if cleaning residue remains.
• Remove any food, spillovers or grease from the worktop while it is still warm using a razor blade scraper suitable for ceramic glass
surfaces.
• Do not use knives or any other sharp object for cleaning. Take extra care to avoid damaging the seal at the edges of the ceramic
glass surface. Do not use cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.
