MAINTENANCE general
– Regular cleaning immediately after use prevents over-cooked food being
able to become ingrained and cause stubborn stains that are difficult to
remove.
– Clean the control knobs, burners and pan supports first and then the
spillage well. This avoids the hob getting dirty again during cleaning.
stubborn stains on enamel (pan supports, burner caps, spillage wells
Remove with a non-abrasive cream or a soft sponge. Never use scouring
powder, scouring pads or aggressive cleansing agents.
stubborn stains on stainless steel (spillage wells)
In particular boiled over red cabbage, red beetroot, ketchap, rhubarb and
other foodstuffs with a high sugar content and acidic liquids can cause
discoloration of the surface.
If you want to remove stubborn stains from stainless steel, you can best use
a cleaning agent specially formulated for stainless steel. In that case, always
clean in the direction of the structure of the steel in order to avoid shiny
spots. (Damage resulting from this are not covered by the warranty!)
If the stains cannot be removed using the method described above, you can
clean the hob with HG oven and grill cleaner. Bear in mind, however, that
you will have to clean the whole of the spillage well in order to avoid
differences in 'colour'. You must also treat the spillage well afterwards with a
polish or maintenance product for stainless steel. It is normal for the surface
to discolour somewhat during the product's lifetime.
easy to clean top surface (burner bases)
The burner bases have an easy to clean top surface. The special ceramic-filled,
dirt-repellant coating can be easily cleaned with a mild cleaner.

MAINTENANCE
Your appliance has been manufactured from high-grade materials, which are
easy for you to clean.
–Removable parts should not be cleaned in the dishwasher. The parts may
be damaged by the dishwasher detergent!
Do not use too much water as this can penetrate into the burner or
ventilation openings.
– Clean the spark plugs preferably with a cloth. Do this carefully. If too
much pressure is applied, the distance from the point of the sparkplug to
the burner may change, causing the burner to ignite poorly or not at all.
The sparkplug will only operate correctly in a dry environment. If the
plug is very dirty, you may clean the point with a tiny brush.
–Stubborn stains can best be removed with a liquid cleansing agent or a
plastic scouring sponge. Never use scouring powder, scouring pads or
aggressive cleansing agents.
–Set the pan supports down vertically, without sliding them over the
spillage well.
Assemble the burner parts using the guide ridges.
