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.

Keep the air inlet openings on the rear of the panel unblocked and clean.

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.

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 and the burner ring.

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.

When assembling the appliance (Fig. 7), make sure that the burner head (5) is placed on the burner base (7) in such a way that the twist protector (4) is held in place by the thermal element (6). Place the burner ring (2) on the burner head (5) from above. The locking lug on theunderside of the burner ring must fit in the recess (3). Place the burner cover (1) in the centre of the burner head. Fit the pot support.

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.
