Important!
Stainless
steel base
After every
use
1
Soak any stubborn stains under a hot
soapy cloth.
2
Wipe the soiling off with a cloth using
a mild household detergent or stainless
steel cleaner.
3
Wipe with a clean damp cloth.
4
Wipe the surface dry with a microfibre
cloth.
5
For extra shine, use a suitable stainless
steel polish.
Hard water spots can be removed with
household white vinegar.
Do not use abrasive cleaners,
steel soap pads or sharp
objects on stainless steel.
Always read the label to make
sure that your stainless steel
cleaner does not contain
chlorine compounds as these
are corrosive and may damage
the appearance of your
cooktop.
Always rub the stainless steel in
the direction of the grain.
The graphics are etched onto
the steel by laser and will not
rub off.
Enamelled
parts
As needed
1
Clean the enamelled parts with a sponge
and soapy water only or other non-
abrasive products.
2
Dry preferably with a microfibre or soft
cloth.
If acidic substances such as lemon juice,
tomato sauce, vinegar etc. are left in
contact with the enamel for a long time,
they will damage the surface.
Important!
Before any cleaning or maintenance, always:
turn all burners off
switch the power to the cooktop off at the wall
make sure that the cooktop and its parts are a safe temperature to touch.
General advice
Clean the cooktop regularly—do not let stains become burnt on.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, cloths or pads to clean any part of your cooktop. Some nylon
scourers may also scratch. Check the label.
Make sure that no cleaner residue is left on any cooktop part; when heated, these could stain the
cooktop.
See the following pages for instructions on reassembling the burners correctly after cleaning.
Do not clean cooktop parts in a self-cleaning oven.
Do not use a steam cleaner.
