Proper routine maintenance and cleaning
of the appliance can significantly extend its
trouble-free operation.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning, turn off the hob (all
knobs set to „0”) and wait until it cools
down. To clean the hob, only use a
damp cloth with a little washing-up
liquid added. Never use abrasive
or caustic cleaning agents. Do not
use steam cleaning equipment for
cleaning.
Cooking zones

From time to time a lukewarm heating plate should be covered with a thin layer of an
available lubricating agent,. It is recommended to use engine oil applied for sewing ma-
chines or bicycles. Do not apply edible oil, because its salt contents may damage the
plates. Dried up spillage on the surface or rim of the plates should be removed with a
dry pad or brush. Do not use abrasives, because they may cause the forming of rust on
the plates. By no means rub the plates with abrasive paper. Take care not to let salt drop
on the plates. It dissolves in water poducing ugly rust spots. Use only dry pots and do
not put wet lids on the plates. The enamel parts of the cooker can be wiped with a gentle
rinsing solution and dried with a soft cloth. Spillage can be wiped during cooking with a
dry cloth, to prevent building up of hard to clean burnt deposits. Chrome plated parts (e.g.
rings around heating plates can be easily polished with a soft cloth).
