cleaning and maintenance
Clean the hob after each use to maintain it in good condition. Food residue can create stubborn stains if not removed
directly after use. Use a mild cleaning detergent to clean the hob.
Burner parts and the pan supports should not be cleaned in the dishwasher. The dishwasher detergent can corrode the
materials.
The pan supports, burners and burner caps are removable for easy cleaning of the cooking part.
• First clean the control knobs, burners, burner caps and pan supports.
• Check whether the thermocouple and ignition are clean. If necessary use a toothpick or needle.
• Clean the drip tray.
• Clean everything again with just a damp cloth and dry it thoroughly.
• Refit the burners. Make sure the openings are aligned for the thermocouple and the ignition.
• Refit the burner caps.
• Refit the pan supports. Place them carefully on the drip tray without sliding.
PERSISTENT STAINS
Persistent stains on the pan supports and burner caps can best be removed with a fluid detergent or a plastic scouring
sponge. Never use aggressive cleaning products or sharp objects to clean the hob.
The surface of the stainless steel drip tray can discolour slightly over time.
