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 remains 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 (catch
tappets) are in the correct position. All parts must be
straight.
Always centre the pot or
pan over the burner,
otherwise it could tip
over.
Do not place large pots
on the burners near the
control knobs. These
may get damaged by the
high temperatures.
Place the pots or pans
on the pan support,
never directly on the
burner.
Make sure that the pan
supports and burner
caps are correctly
positioned before using
the appliance.
Pots or pans should be
placed on the cooktop
carefully.
Do not strike the cooktop
and do not place
excessive weight on it.
Do not heat a cooking
vessel (e.g. roaster, pan,
grill stone) on more than
one burner at the same
time. The resulting heat
accumulation will
damage the appliance.
