Instructions for use
Note:
When using certain pots or pans, a slight and
temporary deformation of the steel cooking surface may
occur. This is normal and does not affect the
functionality of the appliance.
The following recommendations can help you save
energy and avoid damaging your cookware:

Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning
Once the appliance is cool, use a sponge to clean it
with soap and water.
After each use, clean the surface of the respective
burner parts once they have cooled down. If any
residue is left (baked-on food, drops of grease etc.),
however little, it will become stuck to the surface and
more difficult to remove later. The holes and grooves
must be clean for the flame to ignite properly.
The movement of some pans may leave metal residue
on the pan supports.
Clean the burners and pan supports using soapy water
and scrub with a non-wire brush.
If the pan supports are fitted with rubber rests, ensure
that these are also cleaned. The rests may come loose
and the pan support may scratch the hob.
Always dry the burners and pan supports completely.
Water droplets or damp patches on the hob at the start
of cooking may damage the enamel.
After cleaning and drying the burners, make sure the
burner caps are correctly positioned on the diffuser.
Caution!
■
Do not remove the control elements when cleaning
the appliance. The appliance may be damaged if
moisture finds its way inside.
■
Do not use steam cleaners. This could damage the
hob.
■
If your hob is fitted with a glass or aluminium panel,
never use a knife, scraper or similar implement to
clean the point where it joins the metal.
Maintenance
Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt. This will
prevent food remains from sticking to the hob surface
and you will save yourself any unnecessary effort.
Due to the high temperatures endured, the wok burner
and the stainless steel zones (grease drip tray, burner
outline, etc.) can change colour. This is normal. After
each use, clean these areas with a product that is
suitable for stainless steel.
It is recommended that the cleaning product available
from our Technical Assistance Service (code 464524)
is used regularly.
Caution!
The stainless steel cleaner must not be used in the area
around the controls. The (printed) symbols may be
wiped off.
Do not leave acidic liquids (e.g. lemon juice, vinegar,
etc.) on the hob.

Use pans which are the
right size for each burner.
Do not use small pans on
large burners. The flame
must not touch the sides
of the pan.
Do not use damaged pans,
which do not sit evenly on
the hob. Pans may tip over.
Only use pans with a thick,
flat base.
Do not cook without using a
lid and make sure the lid is
properly fitted. This wastes
energy.
Always centre the pan over
the burner, not to one side.
Otherwise it could tip over.
Do not place large pans on
the burners near the control
knobs. These may be
damaged by the very high
temperatures.
Place the pans on the pan
supports, never directly on
the burner.
Make sure that the pan
supports and burner caps
are correctly positioned
before using the appliance.
Pans should be placed on
the hob carefully.
Do not strike the hob and
do not place excessive
weight on it.
