manual abstract
We advise you to use peanut or or soya oil. – Heat up the oil to just before the smoking point; only then begin with stir frying. – Cut the food into pieces of equal size, but not too small, thus making sure they will not burn. – If you are cooking larger quantities, work with portions as otherwise not all of the food will reach the hot base of the wok. – Meals that are ready ca be kept warm on a minimal flame. Clean the wok after every use and rub its inside with oil. This will prevent rusting. 12 Keep the ventilation openings on the rear of the appliance clean. Do not block the ventilation openings. The burner (burner head cover and burner ring) will change the color during operation and become darker. This change in color will not influence the use-value. Please thoroughly clean the appliance before operating it for the first time and after every use. Do not use scouring agents, abrasives or chemically aggressive cleaners (for example oven cleaner)! Do not use any nitro polishing agents for cleaning! Do not use any abrasive sponges either. Before cleaning, please wait until the cooktop has cooled to hand-warm. • First lift the pot grid with both hands (be careful not to scratch the base). • Remove the burner head cover, the burner ring and the burner head. • Important! Only clean the burner parts when cold! • Soak burnt-in remainders in a little water and detergent. This loosens even the most stubborn of soiling. Do not use any abrasive agents and abrasive sponges. • Only use very little water to clean your cooktop. Be careful that no water enters the burner base. • As the result of heat development, slight discoloration can appear on the stainless steel surface. Do not attempt to scrape away such discoloration. This damages the surface. Distribute stainless steel care agents uniformly and thinly on the hob. This will ensure an even surface and will keep your hob in a good condition for a long period of time. • Make sure the burner parts are dry before assembly. Only operate the appliance with all parts dry. Damp burner parts will cause malfunctions when igniting or unstable flames. • When assembling the burner parts, make sure that the burner ring and burner head are placed in such a way that the locking lugs fit in the corresponding recesses. 8.
