Cleaning and care
To prevent spills from burning on to the cooktop, clean the burners and cook- top surface immediately in the event of a spill.
Burners
Make sure no moisture or soil pene- trates inside the burners. Wipe off any spilt food with a damp cloth once the burners have cooled. Use a plastic scouring pad if necessary for stubborn spills. The burners can be scoured, but not the rim or cooktop surface.
Remove any residue from the burners after cleaning.
To dry the burners turn them on for a short time.
It is important that they are dry in order to prevent rust from forming.
Occasional treatment with a thin film of oil, or a special cleaner for solid burner plates is recommended.
Burner trim
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean the trim. Clean the trim using an appropriate metal or stainless steel cleaner.
Cooktop surface
Avoid spilling liquids or foods con- taining salt onto the stainless steel cooktop. Should this occur, wipe up any spills immediately.
Otherwise discoloration of the steel could occur.
Remove dust, oils and fats, food spills or condensed water from pots and pans immediately to prevent them from drying on.
Clean the cooktop surface using hot water and dishwashing liquid.
Do not use scouring agents or pads, knives or hard brushes. These will scratch the surface of the cooktop.
Do not use cleaners containing acids. A stainless steel cleaner can be used on the cooktop surface.
Control panel / Control knobs
Do not use any scouring agents or pads on the knobs or control panel.
Clean the cooktop controls and control panel with hot water and dishwashing liquid.
After cleaning, rub dry with a soft cloth.
