Cleaning and care
34
Pan supports
Remove the pan supports.
Clean the pan supports in the dish-
washer or with a solution of warm
water and a little washing-up liquid
applied with a soft sponge. Stubborn
soiling should be soaked first.
After cleaning, dry the pan supports
thoroughly with a clean cloth.
Control knobs
The control knobs are not dish-
washer-safe.
The control knobs should only be
cleaned by hand.
The rotary controls can become dis-
coloured if they are not cleaned reg-
ularly.
Clean the control knobs after each
use.
Clean the control knobs using a solu-
tion of warm water and a little wash-
ing-up liquid applied with a soft
sponge.
Burner
Do not clean any parts of the burners
in a dishwasher.
The surface of the burner cap will be-
come duller with time. This is com-
pletely normal and does not indicate
material deterioration.
The burner should be dismantled and
then cleaned by hand using a solu-
tion of warm water and a little wash-
ing-up liquid applied with a soft
sponge.
Clean any soiling from the flame
openings.
Danger of explosion.
Blocked flame openings can cause a
dangerous build-up of gas in the
base of the hob which could ignite
and cause an explosion. This can
lead to damage to the appliance and
injury.
Ensure the flame openings are kept
clean at all times.
Parts of the burner that cannot be re-
moved should be wiped clean with a
damp cloth only.
The ignitor and thermocouple should
be very carefully wiped clean using a
well wrung-out cloth.
The ignitor must not get wet, other-
wise it will not spark.
Finally dry everything thoroughly with
a clean cloth. Make sure that the
flame openings are completely dry.
