Before using for the first time clean the
appliance as follows:
[] Wash the removable parts of the gas
burner in a mild solution of warm
water and liquid dish soap,
[] Dry and reassemble them in the
proper order (see the "Cleaning and
care" section),
[] The ceramic surface can be cleaned
using water or a ceramic cooktop
cleaner and then wiped dry with a
soft cloth,
Metal components have a protective
coating which may give off a slight odor
the first time your new appliance is
heated,
The harmless odor will dissipate after a
short time and does not indicate a
