Caution
  • Cleaning operations must only be carried out when the appliance is completely cool.

  • The appliance should be disconnected from the main supply before commencing any cleaning process.

  • Clean the appliance regularly, preferably after each use.

  • Abrasive cleaners or sharp objects will damage the appliance surface; you should clean it using water and a little washing up liquid.

  • Do not clean the control knobs and pan support in a dishwasher.

  • Do not spray cleansers directly onto the control panel. Moisture entering the electric circuits may cause electric shock or product damage.

Pan support and Control knobs

  • Take off the pan support.

  • Clean pan support and the control knobs with a damp cloth, washing up liquid and warm water. For stubbon soiling, soak beforehand.

  • Dry everything with a clean soft cloth.

Top plate

  • Regularly wipe over the top plate using a soft cloth well wrung-out in warm water to which a little washing up liquid has been added.

  • Dry the top plate thoroughly after cleaning.

  • Thoroughly remove salty foods or liquids from the hob as soon as possible to avoid the risk of corrosion.

  • Stainless steel parts of the appliance may become discoloured over time. This is normal because of the high temperatures. Each time the appliance is used, these parts should be cleaned with a product that is suitable for stainless steel.

  • When you finish cooking, ensure that the panel and accessories have cooled down completely. And remove the accessories (pan support, burnersand lids). If it is dirty, clean with a warm, damp sponge, using only stainless steel detergent. Then wipe dry with a soft cloth. After cleaning is complete, reassemble in reverse order.

  • Do not allow liquids such as vinegar, coffee, milk, salt water, lemon or tomato juice to come in contact with stainless steel parts for extended periods of time.

Warning
  • Be careful. The water can be hot.

Note
  • Use of abrasive powders or abrasive cleaners may cause scratches.

  • Be careful. Do not use excessive force when cleaning the product. This can lead to scratches.

  • Be careful. Do not allow water to enter the top ring.

  • Clean the top plate (stainless steel) immediately after use. It will be difficult to clean completely if it is very dirty.

Burners

  • Remove the burner lids and flame spreaders by pulling them upwards and away from the top plate.

  • Soak them in hot water and a little detergent or washing up liquid.

  • After cleaning and washing them, wipe and dry them carefully. Make sure that the flame holes are clean and completely dry.

  • Wipe the fixed parts of the burner cup with a damp cloth and dry afterwards.

  • Gently wipe the ignition device and flame supervision device with a well wrung-out cloth and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

  • Do not attempt to remove the ignition device from the cooktop or burner bases.

  • Before placing the burners back on the top plate, make sure that the injector is not blocked.

Reassemble the Auxiliary, Semi-Rapid, Rapid and Triple-Crown Burners as follows:
  • Place the flame spreader d onto the burner cup e so that the ignition device and the flame supervision device extend through their respective holes in the flame spreader. The flame spreader must click into place correctly.

  • Position the burner lids (a, b ,c) onto the flame speader d so that the retaining pins fit into their respective recesses.

Caution
  • Replace parts in the correct order after cleaning.

    • Do not mix up the top and bottom.

    • The locating pins must fit exactly into the notches.
