Keep the ventilation openings on the rear of the
appliance clean. Do not block the ventilation
openings.
The burner (burner head cover and burner ring)
will change the color during operation and become
darker. This change in color will not influence the
use-value.
Please thoroughly clean the appliance before
operating it for the first time and after every use.
Do not use scouring agents, abrasives or chemically
aggressive cleaners (for example oven cleaner)!
Do not use any nitro polishing agents for cleaning!
Do not use any abrasive sponges either.
Before cleaning, please wait until the cooktop
has cooled to hand-warm.
• First lift the pot grid with both hands (be careful
not to scratch the base).
• Remove the burner head cover, the burner ring
and the burner head.
• Important! Only clean the burner parts when
cold!
• 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.
• Only use very little water to clean your cooktop.
Be careful that no water enters the burner base.
• 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. This will ensure an even
surface and will keep your hob in a good
condition for a long period of time.
• Make sure the burner parts are dry before
assembly. Only operate the appliance with all
parts dry. Damp burner parts will cause
malfunctions when igniting or unstable flames.
• When assembling the burner parts, make sure
that the burner ring and burner head are placed in
such a way that the locking lugs fit in the
corresponding recesses.
