Cleaning
Apply soapy water with a soft sponge or cloth only when the cooktop is cool.
Soaking stubborn stains under the soapy cloth for a few minutes will help make them easier to remove.
Do not use steel soap pads as this may dull the appearance of the appliance over time.
Pan supports are dishwasher safe.
The burner parts can be cleaned in hot water, it is important that the holes/slots are kept clear.
When replacing the burner rings after cleaning, turn the rings until the positioning teeth are placed correctly.
Clean electrodes with a toothbrush and methylated spirits.
Important!
Do not use harsh/abrasive cleaning agents to clean your cooktop as they may damage the stainless steel finish and the knobs.
Important!
‘Antibacterial’ cleaners or those containing chlorine compounds are corrosive and may damage the appearance of your cooktop.
Iridium (Matt) and Brushed Stainless Steel

Cleaning the pan supports
