Cleaning the appliance
Clean the appliance after each use once it has cooled

immediately and do not allow any food remnants to burn
on.
Make sure that the ventilation openings under the pan
support are always clean. The ventilation openings may
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 (lugs)
are in the correct position. All parts must be positioned
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 Customer Service (item
number 00311859). It is suitable for pan supports and
the stainless steel recess. If necessary, let the dirt soak
overnight. Heed the instructions on the cleaning agent.
NOTICE
DAMAGE TO THE SURFACE -
Do not use the cleaning gel on the burner parts.
Discoloration of the burners
After long use, the burner parts made of brass become
darker due to natural oxidation. The change in the color
does not affect use user benefits.
