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
(locking catches) are in the correct position. All parts
must be straight.

surface
Recommended cleaning
Stainless steel
surfaces
Clean using a soft, damp cloth and
some washing-up liquid. Use a mini-
mal amount of water when cleaning
to prevent water from penetrating
the appliance.
Soak burnt-on remnants with a small
amount of soapy water; do not
scour.
Remove heavy soiling or yellow dis-
coloration caused by heat using our
stainless steel cleaner (article
no. 00311499).
Pan supports
Carefully remove for cleaning. Soak
in the sink. Clean using a scrubbing
brush and washing-up liquid.
Clean the area around the rubber
buffers carefully so that they do not
become detached.
Rinse with clean water and dry
before placing back on the cooktop.
You can also clean the pan supports
in the dishwasher. This may discolor
the pan supports slightly but it has
no effect on their usability.
Burner parts
Clean using a soft, damp cloth and
some washing-up liquid. Dry with a
soft cloth. Make sure that the open-
ings are not blocked.
Take care that no small parts are
lost.
Do not clean in the dishwasher.
Control panel,
control knobs
Clean using a soft, damp cloth and a
little washing-up liquid; the cloth
must not be too wet. Dry with a soft
cloth.
If acidic substances (e.g. vinegar,
ketchup, mustard, marinades, lemon
juice) are spilled on the control
panel, remove them immediately.
