Proper routine maintenance and cleaning 

of the appliance can significantly extend its 

trouble-free operation. 

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning, turn off the hob (all 

knobs set to „0”) and wait until it cools 

down. To clean the hob, only use a 

damp cloth with a little washing-up 

liquid added. Never use abrasive 

or caustic cleaning agents. Do not 

use steam cleaning equipment for 

cleaning. 

Cooking zones

●

  From time to time a lukewarm heating plate should be covered with a thin layer of an ava-

ilable lubricating agent,. It is recommended to use engine oil applied for sewing machines 

or bicycles. Do not apply edible oil, because its salt contents may damage the plates. Dried 

up spillage on the surface or rim of the plates should be removed with a dry pad or brush. 

Do not use abrasives, because they may cause the forming of rust on the plates. By no 

means rub the plates with abrasive paper. Take care not to let salt drop on the plates. It 

dissolves in water poducing ugly rust spots. Use only dry pots and do not put wet lids on 

the plates. The enamel parts of the cooker can be wiped with a gentle rinsing solution and 

dried with a soft cloth. Spillage can be wiped during cooking with a dry cloth, to prevent 

building up of hard to clean burnt deposits. Chrome plated parts (e.g. rings around heating 

plates can be easily polished with a soft cloth).
