Essential information
Before thorough cleaning, turn o the circuit breaker. Allow
the range to cool.
After cleaning remember to switch on the circuit breaker
before using the range.
Never use paint solvents, caustic cleaners, biological
powders, bleach, chlorine based bleach cleaners,
coarse abrasives or salt.
Do not mix dierent cleaning products – they may
react together with hazardous results.
Recommended cleaning materials are shown in Table 4.1.
Cleaning the range – Daily care
Cleaning the range is not a welcomed chore, but it has to be
done to maintain eciency and appearance. Remember it
is better to wipe up any spills as they occur, this will prevent
them burning on and becoming more dicult to remove
later.
Make sure the ow of combustion and ventilation air
to the range is unobstructed – for example by build-
up of fats or grease.
If the ame is distorted, check that the burner head is
correctly placed over the burner base (Fig. 4.1).
If the ame burns with a long white tip you should call for
service.
Cleaning for spills
For spills and boil-overs that occur while cooking, as soon as
possible turn o the burner and allow it to cool. Do not clean
until the area is completely cooled down. Wipe up spills as
soon as possible.
Do not allow surplus water to seep into the range.
Cooktop burners
The burner heads and caps can be removed for cleaning.
Make sure they are absolutely dry before replacing.
When replacing burner head, ensure this locates properly
within the base (Fig. 4.2). If you look at the bottom of the
burner head you will see two ‘pips’; these t into the two
notches in the burner base (Fig. 4.3).
Check burner ports are not blocked. If blockage occurs,
remove stubborn particles using a piece of fuse wire.
