Cleaning and maintenance
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.
Burnt-on dirt
For hard-to-remove, burnt-on dirt, you can order a
cleaning gel from our online shop, from your specialist
retailer or our Customer Service (item
number 00311859). It is suitable for pan supports and
the stainless steel recess. If necessary, let the dirt soak
overnight. Heed the instructions on the cleaning agent.
NOTICE
DAMAGE TO THE SURFACE -
Do not use the cleaning gel on the burner parts.
Discoloration of the burners
After long use, the burner parts made of brass become
darker due to natural oxidation. The change in the color
does not affect use user benefits.

Stainless steel
surfaces
Use soapy water and dry with a soft
cloth. Use a minimal 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,
wok ring
Carefully remove for cleaning. Soak
in the sink. Clean using a scrubbing
brush and washing-up liquid.
Clean the area around the rubber buf-
fers 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
Use soapy water and dry with a soft
cloth. Make sure that the openings
are not blocked.
Take care that no small parts are lost.
Do not clean in the dishwasher.

Use soapy water, without making the
cloth too wet. Dry with a soft cloth.
