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.

Please thoroughly clean the appliance before operating it for the first time and after every use.

–Wait until the appliance has cooled down.

–Remove the pot grid.

–Remove the burner cover.

–Clean the hob, the burner covers and the pot grid with commercially available cleaning agents (not in a dishwasher!), e.g. with warm 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.
