 fire.

Stainless steel surfaces
Perform daily cleaning with a slightly 
damp cloth. For more severe soiling, 
use a liquid cream. Always clean the 
steel in the direction of the steel finish. 
To ensure that the steel retains its 
shine, it is recommended that you use a 
polishing agent for stainless steel on a 
regular basis. Always polish in the 
direction of the steel finish (cross-
wise).
Never use steel wool, metal sponges or 
other abrasive cleaning agents. 
Cleaning of gas burner
Clean the control panel and knobs plus 
the pan grid, as well as burner caps and 
rings, with ordinary cleansing agents.
Never use scouring powder, Brillo 
pads, metal pads or other scouring 
agents on enamelled or painted 
surfaces!
Care must be taken to avoid 
boil-over
If water accidentally gets into the edge 
of the burner head (boil-over) the water 
must be removed with a lint-free cloth 
before the burner is turned on again.
Likewise, caps and grids must be 
thoroughly wiped off before the gas 
ring is used again so that the boil-over 
does not permanently scar the enamel 
or paint.
