Comfortable cooking
MAINTENANCE
Regular cleaning immediately after use prevents over-cooked food
being able to become ingrained and cause stubborn stains that are
difficult to remove.
Daily
•
Use a mild cleaning agent to clean the hob. Do not use too much
water as this can penetrate into the ventilation openings.
Elements
•
Wiping with a kitchen towel is usually sufficient.
•
Remove boiled over and burnt leftovers with the blunt side of a
knife or a nonabrasive sponge (Scotch Brite no. 373).
•
Always remove any remaining soap after cleaning and switch on
the elements for a short while to evaporate the humidity.
•
Rub the plates every now and then with acid free oil (sewing
machine oil) or with a maintenance product Collo Elektrol
(drugstore).
Stainless steel rim
•
The stainless steel rim along the elements can be cleaned with a
non-abrasive sponge (Scotch Brite no. 373). Remove the remains
of the soap after cleaning, especially between the cast iron
element and the stainless steel rim.
