Risk of surface damage
Do not use these cleaners
– harsh or abrasive cleaning agents
– oven cleaners
– corrosive or aggressive cleaners, or those
containing chlorine
– cleaning agents with a high alcohol content
– hard and scratchy sponges, brushes or scouring
pads
If such an agent comes into contact with the appliance,
wash it off immediately with water.

them!

Cleaning the appliance

Clean the appliance after each use once it has cooled
down. Remove spilt liquids immediately and do not allow
any food remains to burn on.
Make sure that the ventilation openings under the pan
support are always clean. The ventilation openings must
not be covered.
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 (catch
tappets) 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 after-sales service (item
number 00311859). It is suitable for pan supports and
the stainless-steel recess. If necessary, let the dirt soak
overnight. Follow the instructions on the cleaning agent.
Caution!
Damage to the surface
Do not use the cleaning gel on the burner parts.

Burner discolouration

After extended use, the brass burner parts take on a
darker colour as a result of the oxidation process that
occurs naturally. The discolouration does not affect
their serviceability.
