Cleaning the appliance

Clean the appliance after every use once it has cooled
down. Remove spills immediately. Burnt in residues
may be difficult to remove.
Keep the air inlets underneath the pan support clean.
Do not cover the air inlets.
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.
When assembling the burner parts, make sure they
are properly positioned (catching pin). Make sure all
burner parts lie evenly flat.
Part/surface Recommended cleaning method
Stainless steel Clean with soapy water – dry with a soft
surfaces cloth. Do not use too much water to
avoid water entering the appliance.
Soak burnt-in remainders in a little water
and detergent. Do not scrape away.
To remove stubborn residues or yellow-
ish discolouration because of the heat,
you can order a stainless-steel cleaner
(order number 311413).
Pan support Carefully take off pan support for clean-
ing. Soak in soapy water. Clean with a
brush and some detergent.
Be careful when cleaning around the
rubber rests to ensure they do not come
loose.
Rinse with clear water. Carefully dry pan
support before assembly.
Do not clean in a dishwasher!
Burner parts Clean with soapy water – dry with a soft
(brass) cloth. Port openings of the burner ring
must be kept free.
Be careful not to loose the small parts.
Do not clean in a dishwasher!
Control knobs Clean with soapy water – the cloth
should not be too wet. Dry with a soft
cloth.

Cleaning the electrode

A soiled elctrode will cause malfunctions when
igniting or during flame monitoring.
If necessary clean the electrode with the enclosed
brush. To avoid damage clean the electrodes carefully,
do not twist or damage the electrodes. Do not switch
on the gas cooker while cleaning the elctrode.

Burnt-on dirt

You can order a grill-cleaning gel (order number
463582) from your dealer or from our After-sales
service to remove stubborn, burnt-on dirt. It is suitable
for pan supports and stainless steel cooktops. If
necessary, leave it to act on the dirt overnight. Follow
the instructions on the cleaner's packaging.
Caution!
Do not apply the grill-cleaning gel to the burner parts.

Burner discolouration

After extended use, the brass burner parts take on a
darker colour as a result of the oxidation process that
occurs naturally. The discolouration does not affect
their serviceability.
