Cleaning the electrode

Soiled electrodes may cause malfunctions when igniting
or flame monitor disturbance.
If necessary clean with the included brush. Be careful
when cleaning electrodes, they are fragile, do not twist
or damage. Do not switch on the cooktop while
cleaning.

Burnt-on dirt

For hard-to-remove, burnt-on dirt, you can order a gel
grill cleaner from your specialist retailer or our after-
sales service (item number 00311761). 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!
Do not use the gel grill cleaner 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.
