Cleaning and maintenance

Warning – Risk of electric shock!

C l e a n i n g a n d m a i n t e n a n c e

Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam

cleaners, which can result in an electric shock.

Warning – Risk of burns!

The accessible parts become very hot when in

operation. Never touch hot parts. Keep children at a

safe distance.

Caution!

Risk of surface damage

Do not use these cleaners

–

harsh or abrasive cleaning agents

–

oven cleaners

–

corrosive or aggressive cleaners, or those

containing chlorine

–

cleaning agents with a high alcohol content

–

hard and scratchy sponges, brushes or scouring

pads

If such an agent comes into contact with the appliance,

wash it off immediately with water.

Thoroughly wash out new sponge cloths before using

them!

Cleaning the appliance

Clean the appliance after each use once it has cooled

down. Remove liquids that have boiled over or spilled

immediately and do not allow any food remains to burn

on.

Make sure that the ventilation openings under the pan

support are always clean. The ventilation openings must

not be covered.

Dry the burners thoroughly after cleaning. Only operate

the appliance when the burners are dry. Damp burners

can cause ignition problems and/or an unstable flame.

During assembly, make sure that the burner parts (catch

tappets) are in the correct position. All parts must be

straight.

You can also clean the pan supports in

the dishwasher. This may cause the pan

support to become lighter in colour. This

does not affect its usability.

Make sure that no small parts are lost.

Burnt-on dirt

For hard-to-remove, burnt-on dirt, you can order a

cleaning gel from our online shop, from your specialist

retailer or our after-sales service (item

number 00311859). It is suitable for pan supports and

the stainless-steel recess. If necessary, let the dirt soak

overnight. Follow the instructions on the cleaning agent.

Caution!

Damage to the surface

Do not use the cleaning gel on the burner parts.

Burner discolouration

After extended use, the brass burner parts take on a

darker colour as a result of the oxidation process that

occurs naturally. The discolouration does not affect

their serviceability.
