To ensure that your kitchen gives you lasting pleasure, please only use mild, water-soluble household cleaning products.

Under no circumstances should you use aggressive liquid cleaners or abrasive cleaning products for cleaning surfaces. The same applies to polishes, waxes and solvents. This is where you will find detailed care instructions.
