Steel Cooking Plate
DIRECTIONS FOR THE CARE AND PROTECTION OF THE STEEL COOKING
PLATE
The bright polished steel cooking plate was oiled before packing for protection
from corrosion.
First Heating
Vor der ersten Inbetriebnahme ist der aufgetragene Korrosionsschutz von der
Before heating for the first time, wipe the corrosion protection off the cooking
plate. Open a window during the first heating, as the corrosion protection produces an unpleasant but harmless smoke and odour for a short time.
At the same time, a discoloration typical for steel when subjected to heat
occurs on the cooking plate in the region from the hottest area to the edge.
This discoloration will become more uniform every time the cooking plate is
heated again.
Cleaning
The best time to clean the cooking plate is when it is still warm after heating.
It can be cleaned with standard scouring agents in powder or liquid form.
Stubborn baked-on residues can be removed with the cleaning fleece provided
(caution: pay attention to the direction of the polish lines of the steel cooking
plate; not suitable for glass ceramic surfaces, enamel or plastics).
Afterwards, wipe the cooking plate with a damp cloth and let it dry. This is, of
course, quickest while the stove is still warm. Finally, grease lightly with acidfree oil (e.g. sewing machine oil, gun oil or margarine). Do not leave any pots
or pans standing on the cold cooking plate as this would lead to rust stains
that are difficult to remove.
Protection against corrosion
Damage caused by improper cleaning are not
covered by the warranty!
If the stove is left unused for an extended period of time, it is advisable to
grease the cooking plate with acid-free oil or some margarine after cleaning. It
goes without saying that it should be wiped off the cooking plate again before
the next use.
By following these instructions, you will prevent the formation of rust and the
development of unsightly spots on the cooking plate, and the stove will keep
its good appearance.
Take care that the expansion gaps of the steel cooking plate are always kept
free of deposit build-ups, so that the plate can expand when subjected to heat.
Burned-on food or fuel residues in the gaps can cause the steel cooking plate
to warp.
