Cleaning the electrode
Soiled electrodes may cause malfunctions when
igniting or flame monitor disturbance.
If necessary clean with the included brush. Be careful
when cleaning electrodes, they are fragile, do not
twist or damage.
Do not switch on the cooktop while
cleaning.
Burnt-in residues
To remove stubborn, burnt-in residues you can order
the grill cleaning gel (order number 463582) from your
specialist retailer or from our after-sales service. You
can use it to clean the pan supports, the burner parts
and the stainless steel cooktop base. If necessary
apply the gel and leave overnight. Please observe the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Discoloured burner parts
After prolonged operation, the burners (burner lid,
burner ring and burner head) will become darker
through natural oxidation. You can remove this
discoloration as follows:
1 Mix equal parts of white vinegar with a max. 8 %
acid (household vinegar) and warm water.
2 Soak the discolored burner parts for no longer
than 10 minutes in the solution. Remove stubborn
stains with a cloth or sponge.
3 Rinse the burner parts thoroughly in clear water
and dry completely before use.
Caution! The surface will be damaged if the solution
is too concentrated or the burner parts are left in
vinegar for too long!
