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 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.
