Care and cleaning

In this chapter you will find tips on how to maintain and
clean your cooktop correctly.
m
Risk of burns!
The appliance becomes hot during operation. Allow the
appliance to cool down before cleaning.
m
Risk of electric shock!
Do not use high pressure washers or steam cleaners to
clean the appliance.

Cleaning

Clean the appliance after every use once it has cooled
down. Remove spills immediately. Burnt in residues may
be difficult to remove.
Cleaning the gas cooktop:
1 Take off the pan support with both hands.
Caution!
Be careful not to scratch the stainless steel base.
2 Remove the burner lids. Only clean the burner parts
when cold!
3 Soak burnt-in remainders in a little water and
detergent. This loosens even the most stubborn of
soiling. Do not use any abrasive agents and
abrasive sponges.
4 Only use very little water to clean your cooktop. Be
careful that no water enters the burner base.
5 As the result of heat development, slight
discoloration can appear on the stainless steel
surface. Do not attempt to scrape away such
discoloration. This damages the surface. Distribute
stainless steel care agent uniformly and thinly on
the cooktop (not on the control panel!). This will
ensure an even surface and will keep your cooktop
in a good condition for a long period of time.
6 Make sure the burner parts are dry before
assembly. Only operate the appliance with all parts
dry. Damp burner parts will cause malfunctions
when igniting or unstable flames.
7 When assembling the burner parts, make sure that
the burner lids are placed in such a way that the
catching pins fit in the corresponding holes. Make
sure all burner lids are properly fitted and lie evenly
flat.
