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:
1 First lift up a lateral pan support with both hands
and then remove the other two pan supports.
,
CAUTION: The stovetop can become
scratched.
2 Remove burner lid, burner ring and burner head.
Only clean the burner parts when cold!
3 Let burned-on residue soak in a little water and
dishwashing liquid. This helps dissolve stubborn
grime. Don't use abrasive cleaning agents or
sponges.
4 Only use a little water to clean the stovetop. No
water must penetrate into the burner parts below.
5 Slight 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.
6 Dry 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.
7 When 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).
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.
