Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning

Once the appliance is cool, use a sponge to clean it with soap

and water.
After each use, clean the surface of the respective burner parts

once they have cooled down. If any residue is left (baked-on

food, drops of grease etc.), however little, it will become stuck

to the surface and more difficult to remove later. The holes and

grooves must be clean for the flame to ignite properly.
The movement of some pans may leave metal residue on the

pan supports.
Clean the burners and pan supports using soapy water and

scrub with a non-wire brush.
If the pan supports are fitted with rubber rests, ensure that

these are also cleaned. The rests may come loose and the pan

support may scratch the hob.
Always dry the burners and pan supports completely. Water

droplets or damp patches on the hob at the start of cooking

may damage the enamel.
After cleaning and drying the burners, make sure the burner

caps are correctly positioned on the diffuser.

Caution!

Do not use steam cleaners. This could damage the hob.

If your hob is fitted with a glass or aluminium panel, never use

a knife, scraper or similar implement to clean the point where

it joins the metal.

Maintenance

Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt. This will

prevent food remains from sticking to the hob surface and you

will save yourself any unnecessary effort.
Due to the high temperatures endured, the wok burner and the

stainless steel zones (grease drip tray, burner outline, etc.) can

change colour. This is normal. After each use, clean these

areas with a product that is suitable for stainless steel.
It is recommended that the cleaning product available from our

Technical Assistance Service (code 464524) is used regularly.

Caution!
The stainless steel cleaner must not be used in the area around

the controls. The (printed) symbols may be wiped off.
Do not leave acidic liquids (e.g. lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on

the hob.
