Warning – Risk of burns!
The accessible parts become very hot when in
operation. Never touch hot parts. Keep children at a
safe distance.
Caution!
Risk of surface damage
Do not use these cleaners
– harsh or abrasive cleaning agents
– oven cleaners
– corrosive or aggressive cleaners, or those
containing chlorine
– cleaning agents with a high alcohol content
– hard and scratchy sponges, brushes or scouring
pads
If such an agent comes into contact with the appliance,
wash it off immediately with water.
Thoroughly wash out new sponge cloths before using
them!
Cleaning the appliance
Clean the appliance after each use once it has cooled
down. Remove liquids that have boiled over or spilled
immediately and do not allow any food remnants to burn
on.
Dry the burners thoroughly after cleaning. Only operate
the appliance when the burners are dry. Damp burners
can cause ignition problems and/or an unstable flame.
During assembly, make sure that the burner parts (lugs)
are in the correct position. All parts must be straight.
Burnt-on dirt
For hard-to-remove, burnt-on dirt, you can order a
cleaning gel from our online shop, from your specialist
retailer or via our after-sales service (item
number 00311859). It is suitable for pan supports and
the stainless steel recess. If necessary, let the dirt soak
overnight. Follow the instructions on the cleaning
product.
Caution!
Damage to the surface
Do not use the cleaning gel on the burner parts, the
control panel or the control knobs.
