10 Cleaning and care
With careful cleaning and good care, your appliance
will remain fully functioning for a long time to come.
To be safe, close the gas supply on the gas regulator.
(If your cooking zone is set to natural gas, close the
natural gas tap).
Disconnect the appliance from the mains power sup-
ply.
If required, wait until the cooking zone has cooled
down.
Damage to the various surfaces caused by using the
wrong cleaning agent can be avoided by observing the
following instructions.
¡ Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam
jets.
¡ Do not use flammable materials such as acids, dilu-
tion, petrol or benzene.
¡ Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or cleaning
materials.
If you clean your cooking zone
¡ Do not use undiluted washing-up liquid or dish-
washer detergent,
¡ Do not use cleaning products with a high alcohol
content,
¡ Do not use hard scouring pads or cleaning
sponges,
¡ Do not use abrasive cleaning agents such as oven
cleaner or stain remover,
¡ And do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning
products.
¡ Do not clean individual parts in the dishwasher.
¡ Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.

Clean with a sponge, washing-up liquid
and some hot water. Ensure that the gas
openings on the burner casing are clean
and are not blocked. Clean the igniters
with a small, soft brush. The gas burners
only work properly when the igniters are
clean. Use a cloth and some hot soapy
water to remove the food remains from the
burner casing. Only use a little water for
this. Water must not be allowed to enter
the appliance. Ensure that the nozzle
opening is not blocked or damaged during
the cleaning process. Dry all of the parts
thoroughly after they are cleaned, and
place the burner caps exactly onto the
burner casings. Individual parts that are
not correctly positioned make it difficult for
the burner to ignite. Fit the steel grids. The
cleaning agent that we recommend for
cleaning the steel grids is available from
our after-sales service or specialist retail-
ers.
