Care and cleaning

Do not use any flammable, abrasive, chlorine- or bleach-containing cleaning
agents to clean the appliance. Only use standard food-grade cleaning agents.
Under no circumstances use metal or steel brushes, copper cloths or products
that contain sand or that scratch for cleaning.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the hob, as this could damage it.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, metal scourers, sharp objects, knives or the like, for
removing dried-on food residue from the hob.

5.1 

Care

▪

If any liquid boils over, clean it off immediately to prevent it from burning on.

▪

Remove any grains of sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables) immediately, as they could
scratch the surface of the hob. 

5.2 

Cleaning

▪

After cooking, allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning it. Clean the surface
with a sponge, water and a mild cleaning agent. For hobs with a stainless steel sur-
face, use a chrome steel cleaner for the best cleaning results. Always clean in the dir-
ection of the original polish lines. 

▪

If dirty, clean the surface of each individual part of the burner when cold with a
sponge, water and mild cleaning agent and rinse off thoroughly with water. Residue
(food that has boiled over, fat splashes, etc.) can eat into the surface and be very diffi-
cult to remove later. For a uniform flame, the holes and grooves in the burner must al-
ways be kept clean.

▪

Pan supports can be cleaned in a dishwasher or by hand. Ensure that the silicone feet
do not come off the pan supports.

▪

Always dry the burners and the pan supports after cleaning them. Water droplets or
damp patches on the hob at the start of cooking may damage the enamel. After
cleaning and drying the flame spreaders and caps, position them centrally on the cor-
responding burners. For an overview of burner parts, see the Gas burner (see page
10) section.
