Warning – Risk of electric shock! 

Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam 
cleaners, which can result in an electric shock.

Warning – Risk of burns! 

The accessible parts become very hot when in 
operation. Never touch hot parts. Keep children at a 
safe distance.

Caution!
Risk of surface damage

Do not use these cleaners 

–

harsh or abrasive cleaning agents

–

oven cleaners

–

corrosive or aggressive cleaners, or those 
containing chlorine

–

cleaning agents with a high alcohol content

–

hard and scratchy sponges, brushes or scouring 
pads

If such an agent comes into contact with the appliance, 
wash it off immediately with water.

Thoroughly wash out new sponge cloths before using 
them!

Cleaning the appliance

Clean the appliance after each use once it has cooled 
down. Remove liquids that have boiled over or spilled 
immediately and do not allow any food remains to burn 
on.

Make sure that the ventilation openings under the pan 
support are always clean. The ventilation openings must 
not be covered.

Dry the burners thoroughly after cleaning. Only operate 
the appliance when the burners are dry. Damp burners 
can cause ignition problems and/or an unstable flame.

During assembly, make sure that the burner parts (catch 
tappets) are in the correct position. All parts must be 
straight.

Burnt-on dirt

For hard-to-remove, burnt-on dirt, you can order a 
cleaning gel from our online shop, from your specialist 
retailer or our after-sales service (item 
number 00311859). It is suitable for pan supports and 
the stainless-steel recess. If necessary, let the dirt soak 
overnight. Follow the instructions on the cleaning agent.

Caution!
Damage to the surface

Do not use the cleaning gel on the burner parts.

Burner discolouration

After extended use, the brass burner parts take on a 
darker colour as a result of the oxidation process that 
occurs naturally. The discolouration does not affect 
their serviceability.

surface

Recommended cleaning

Stainless steel 
surfaces

Clean using a soft, damp cloth and some 
washing-up liquid. Use a minimal amount 
of water when cleaning to prevent water 
from penetrating the appliance.

Soak burnt-on remains with a small 
amount of soapy water; do not scour.

Remove heavy soiling or yellow discol-
ouration caused by heat using our stain-
less steel cleaner (item no. 00311499).

Pan supports, 
wok ring

Carefully remove for cleaning. Soak in 
the sink. Clean using a scrubbing brush 
and washing-up liquid.

Clean the area around the rubber buff-
ers carefully so that they do not become 
detached.

Rinse with clean water and dry before 
putting them back. 

You can also clean the pan supports in 
the dishwasher. This may cause the pan 
support to become lighter in colour. This 
does not affect its usability.

Burner parts

Clean using a soft, damp cloth and some 
washing-up liquid. Dry with a soft cloth. 
Make sure that the openings are not 
blocked.

Make sure that no small parts are lost.

Do not clean in the dishwasher.

Control knobs

Clean using a soft, damp cloth and a lit-
tle washing-up liquid; the cloth must not 
be too wet. Dry with a soft cloth.
