Before using for the first time
42
Cleaning the cooktop for the
first time
Remove any protective foil and stick-
ers.
Using a soft sponge, clean all remov-
able burner parts with a solution of
warm water and a small amount of
liquid dish soap. Dry the parts thor-
oughly after cleaning and reassemble
the burners (see "Cleaning and
care").
Remove the grilling grate and, using a
soft sponge, clean it with a solution
of warm water and a small amount of
dishwashing liquid. Dry it thoroughly
after cleaning.
The griddle plate is oiled for protec-
tion against corrosion. Clean the grid-
dle plate with a soft sponge, a small
amount of dishwashing liquid, and
warm water, and dry it.
Before first use, wipe down the appli-
ance with a damp cloth and dry it.
Metal components are protected by a
conditioning agent. Smells and vapor
may occur when the appliance is used
for the first time.
The smell and any vapors do not indi-
cate a faulty connection or a defective
appliance and are not harmful to your
health.
Seasoning the griddle plate
You must season the griddle plate be-
fore cooking food on it the first time.
This process prevents food from stick-
ing and protects the surface from
moisture.
Set the griddle plate on "High" for 30
minutes.
Switch off the griddle plate after 30
minutes and let it cool down.
During heating, the griddle plate con-
stantly changes color. The discol-
oration may become more intensive
over time. The properties of the grid-
dle plate, however, are not impaired in
this manner.
Pour 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil that
can be heated to a high temperature
in the middle of the cooled griddle
plate and distribute it with a paper
towel, leaving out the corners of the
plate.
Do not use too much oil. Excess oil
leaves a rubbery substance on the
plate that has to be removed.
Remove any excess oil with a paper
towel.
Heat the griddle plate on "High" until
it starts to smoke.
Switch off the griddle plate.
When the griddle plate had cooled
down to a hand-warm temperature,
wash off the excess oil.
Repeat the process once the griddle
plate has cooled down completely.
