6. Skoonmaak en Onderhoud
Gereelde skoonmaak en behoorlike onderhoud sal die lang lewensduur en optimale prestasie van jou induksie-kookplaat verseker.
Skoonmaakinstruksies:
- Ontkoppel altyd die kragtoevoer voor skoonmaak.
- Laat die kookplaat heeltemal afkoel voordat dit skoongemaak word.
- Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a soft cloth and a mild detergent.
- Vir hardnekkige vlekke, gebruik 'n gespesialiseerde keramiek kookplaat skoonmaakmiddel en 'n skraper wat ontwerp is vir glasoppervlaktes.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as they can scratch or damage the surface.
- Maak gemorste vloeistof onmiddellik skoon om te verhoed dat dit uitdroog en moeiliker word om te verwyder.
Onderhoud wenke:
