Place the cooking vessel in the center of the burner, otherwise it may tip over.

Don't place large pots on the burners near the stove controls. They could overheat and become damaged.

Place the pots on the pan supports, never directly onto the burners.

Prior to use, ensure that the pan supports and lids of the gas burners are positioned correctly.

Handle vessels carefully on the stovetop.

Don't bang the stovetop and don't place any heavy weights on it.

Care and cleaning

In this section, you'll find tips and information about optimum care and cleaning of the stovetop.

,WARNING: Risk of burns:

The appliance grows hot during operation. Let appliance cool down prior to cleaning.

,WARNING: Risk of electrical shock: Don't use a high-pressure cleaner or steam cleaner.

Cleaning appliance

Clean the appliance after each use, once it has cooled down. Remove spilled fluids immediately; don't let any food rests burn on.

Keep the ventilation gap on the rear side of the appliance clean. The ventilation gap must not be covered up.

The bright metallic color of the burners (burner lid, burner ring and burner head) turns darker after long use due to natural oxidation. The color change doesn't affect use.

Cleaning gas stovetops:

1First lift up a lateral pan support with both hands and then remove the other two pan supports.

,CAUTION: The stovetop can become scratched.

2Remove burner lid, burner ring and burner head. Only clean the burner parts when cold!

3Let burned-on residue soak in a little water and dishwashing liquid. This helps dissolve stubborn grime. Don't use abrasive cleaning agents or sponges.

4Only use a little water to clean the stovetop. No water must penetrate into the burner parts below.

5Slight discolorations may occur on the stainless steel surface due to heat generation. Don't try to scrub away these discolorations, as it may damage the surface. Distribute stainless steel care product evenly thin along the stovetop (not on the control panel!). This provides for an even surface and your stovetop remains attractive- looking for a long time.

6Dry off the burner parts. Only turn on the appliance once all parts are dry. Damp burner parts could cause problems with ignition or an unstable flame.

7When assembling the burner ring and head, place them on the burner such that the snap-in pins engage into the appropriate slots. Make sure the burner parts are correctly positioned; they must lie straightly.

8Important: First put the center pan support back in place (make sure it is correctly centered over the burner) and then the lateral one. The rounded- off corners of the lateral pan supports must face the side (see figure).
