4. Cleaning and care

Fig. 7
Wipe off spilt food immediately, thus ensuring that
it cannot burn in on the hob.
Caution! The burner gets very hot during
operation!
Never use abrasive or caustic cleaning agents.
You should only clean the control panel and the
control knobs with detergent and a a soft cloth.
To ensure perfect functioning, keep the thermal
sensor and the spark plug clean.
Keep the incoming air openings on the rear of
the panel unobstructed and clean.
Caution:
Never use high-pressure or steam jet units to
clean your appliance because otherwise the
electrical safety of the appliance will no longer
be guaranteed.

– Clean the hob, the burner covers and the
pot grid with commercially available cleaning
agents (not in a dishwasher!), e.g. with warm
2
soap solution and a dishwashing brush.
– Whenever required, clean the burner head with
a moist cloth.
– Soak burnt-in remainders in a little water and
detergent. This loosens even the most stubborn
of soiling. Do not use any abrasive agents and
abrasive sponges.
– As the result of heat development, slight dis-
coloration can appear on the stainless steel
surface. Do not attempt to scrape away such
discoloration. This damages the surface.
Distribute stainless steel care agents uniformly
and thinly on the hob (not on the control panel!).
This will ensure an even surface and will keep
your hob in a good condition for a long period of
time.
Important: Allow the burner covers to cool down
before cleaning them!
When assembling, place the burner cover (1) on
the burner head (2) so that the four tabs on the
bottom edge of the burner cover engage in the
corresponding tabs on the burner head (see Fig. 7).
Place the pot grids back in position.
