Table - Cooking
Select the right saucepan size for each burner. The diameter of
the saucepan or pan base should be the same as that of the
burner.
Cooking times may vary depending on the type of food, its
weight and quality. You yourself can best judge the optimal
cooking time.
Use as little water as possible when cooking, so that the food
retains its vitamins and minerals. Select short cooking times so
that the vegetables remain firm and full of nutrients.
Cleaning and maintenance
For the cooking area to have optimum power and a long
service life, thorough cleaning and maintenance are essential.
As a safety precaution, turn the gas off at the gas cylinder
controller. (If the cooker is set up to use natural gas, close the
natural gas tap).
Unplug the appliance from the mains.
If the burner is still hot, let it cool down first.
Caution!
■ Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam jets.
■ When cleaning the cooker, do not use any flammable
substances such as acids, diluting agents, petrol or benzene.
■ Under no circumstance should abrasive cleaning products or
materials be used, which may cause scratches.

Damage to the various different surfaces caused by using the
wrong cleaning agent can be avoided by observing the
following instructions.

■ cleaning agent with a high alcohol content,
■ scouring pads,
■ abrasive cleaning agents such as oven cleaner or stain

■ Do not clean individual parts in the dishwasher.
Wash new sponges thoroughly before first use.
Pans should be placed on the
hob carefully.
Do not strike the hob and do
not place excessive weight on
it.
Never use two burners or heat
sources to heat one single
pan.

Clean it with stainless-steel cleaning agent and a soft cloth. Always wipe stainless steel surfaces parallel to
the natural grain. Otherwise, you may scratch the surface. Dry with a soft cloth. Always remove any flecks of
limescale, grease, starch and egg white immediately. Harsh cleaning products, scratchy sponges and
rough cleaning cloths are not suitable. You can use special care products to polish the stainless steel
fronts. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Special stainless-steel cleaning agents are available from the
after-sales service or from specialist retailers.
