In this section, you'll find tips and information about 
optimum care and cleaning of the cooktop.

9

Risk of electrical shock
Moisture entering the appliance can cause an 
electrical shock. Don't use a high-pressure 
cleaner or steam cleaner.

9

Risk of burns
The accessible parts get hot during operation. 
Never touch hot parts. Keep children away.

9

Surface damage
Do not use these cleaning agents 

‒

Caustic or corrosive cleaners

‒ Oven cleaners
‒ Cleaners that are caustic, contain chlorine 

or are aggressive

‒ Cleaners containing large proportions of 

alcohol

‒ Hard, scratchy dish-washing sponges, 

brushes or scourers

If such an agent comes into contact with the 
appliance, wipe it off immediately with water.
Thoroughly wash out new sponge cloths before 
using them.

Avoid scratching the cooktop when removing 
and fitting the pan supports. First remove a side 
pan support with both hands in the upward 
direction. Then remove the other two pan 
supports. When placing them back in position, 
first fit the middle pan support and then the 
side ones.

Place the cooking vessel in 
the center of the burner, 
otherwise it may tip over.

Don't place large pots on 
the burners near the stove 
controls. They could 
overheat and become 
damaged.

Place the pots on the pan 
supports, never directly 
onto the burners.

Prior to use, ensure that 
the pan supports and lids 
of the gas burners are 
positioned correctly.

Handle vessels carefully on 
the cooktop.

Don't bang the cooktop 
and don't place any heavy 
weights on it.

Never heat a cooking 
vessel (e.g. roasting tin, 
pan, cooking stone) with 
multiple burners. The 
resulting accumulation of 
heat causes damage to the 
appliance.
