¡ Do not use abrasive or corrosive products, such as
citric acid, vinegar, aggressive cleaning agents or
glass ceramic cleaners.

the rubber pads come loose, the pan support may
scratch the hob.
Cleaning in the dishwasher:
¡ Use cleaning agents recommended by the dish-
washer manufacturer.
¡ Preclean the pan supports if they are particularly dirty.
¡ As soon as the washing process is finished, remove
the pan supports from the dishwasher and remove
any residual moisture.
Tip: The pan supports may discolour during use and
cleaning. This discolouration does not affect their use.

¡ Do not mix up the burner lids.
¡ Gently move the burner lid back and forth until it
locks into the projections on the burner.
¡ Clean carefully. Thermocouples and ignition plugs are
