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.

9
CAUTION
The stovetop can become scratched.
2
Remove burner lid. Only clean the burner parts
when cold!
3
Let burned-on residue soak in a little water and
dishwashing liquid. This helps dissolve stubborn
grime. Don't use abrasive cleaning agents or
sponges.
4
Only use a little water to clean the stovetop. No
water must penetrate into the burner parts below.
5
Slight discolorations may occur on the stainless
steel surface due to heat generation. Don't try to
scrub away these discolorations, as it may damage
the surface. Distribute stainless steel care product
evenly thin along the stovetop (not on the control
panel!). This provides for an even surface and your
stovetop remains attractive-looking for a long time.
6
Dry off the burner parts. Only turn on the appliance
once all parts are dry. Damp burner parts could
cause problems with ignition or an unstable flame.

When assembling the burner lids, place them on
the burners such that the snap-in pins engage into
the appropriate slots. Make sure the burner lids are
correctly positioned; they must lie straightly.
