let it cool down before you clean it.

electrical supply before you do cleaning
or maintenance work.
Scratches or dark stains on the surface
have no effect on how the appliance
operates.
• You can remove the pan supports to
easily clean the hob.
• To clean the enamelled parts, cap and
crown, wash them with warm soapy wa-
ter and dry them carefully before you put
them back.
• Wash stainless steel parts with water,
and then dry them with a soft cloth.
• The pan supports are not dishwasher
proof. They must be washed by hand .
• When you wash the pan supports by
hand, take care when you dry them as
the enamelling process occasionally
leaves rough edges. If necessary, remove
stubborn stains using a paste cleaner.

correctly after cleaning.

make sure that the arms of the pan sup-
ports are in the centre of the burner.
