Cleaning and other regular
maintenance activities
Do not clean the stove when it is still warm.
Clean the exterior of the stove with a dry lint-free
cloth.

Cleaning glass

Dirt clings less easily to well-cleaned glass. Proceed
as follows:
1. Remove dust and loose soot with a dry cloth.
2. Clean the glass with stove glass cleaner:
a. Apply stove glass cleaner to a kitchen sponge,
rub down the entire glass surface and give the
cleaning agent time to react.
b. Remove the dirt with a moist cloth or kitchen
tissue.
3. Clean the glass again with a normal glass cleaning
product.
4. Rub the glass clean with a dry cloth or kitchen tis-
sue.
28
Do not use abrasive or aggressive products to
clean the glass.
Wear household gloves to protect your hands.
If the glass in the appliance is broken or
cracked, it must be replaced before you can
use the appliance again.
Make sure that no stove window cleaner runs
between the glass and the cast-iron door.
Use the instructions above to clean the black
mirror panels on the inside of the stove too.
Maintenance enamelled stove
Never clean the stove while it is still hot. The most
effective way to clean the enamelled surface of the
stove is with a mild green soap and lukewarm water.
Use as little water as possible, rub the surface dry and
prevent the formation of rust. Wire wool or other abra-
sives should never be used. Never place a kettle
directly onto an enamelled stove; use a stand to pre-
vent damage.
Touching up damaged paint
Small areas of damaged paint finish can be touched-
up with a spray can of special heat-resistant paint,
available from your supplier.
Touching up the enamelled surface
Enamelling is a process carried out by traditional
methods, meaning that it is possible that small colour
differences and damage may occur. The appliances
undergo a visual inspection in the factory, that is to
say, the inspector looks at the surface for a period of
10 seconds from a distance of 1 metre.
Any damage that does not stand out is regarded as
OK. A special heat-resistant paint is supplied with the
stove to touch up any minor damage caused during
transport.
Apply the heat-resistant paint in thin layers and leave
to dry well before using the appliance.
Some enamel colours are temperature-sensitive. It
can happen that the colour changes during use.
The original colour will return when the stove has
cooled down.
If enamelled surfaces become very hot, hairline
cracks can occur. This is a normal phenomenon
and has no impact on the functioning of the stove.
