DOS DON’TS
●
Read these cleaning instructions and
the ‘Safety and warnings’ section before
you start cleaning your cooktop.
●
Before cleaning or removing any part,
make sure that everything on the cooktop
has been turned off.
●
Unless suggested otherwise in the chart
following, allow any part to cool to
a safe temperature before cleaning.
Wear long protective mitts to avoid burns
from steam or hot surfaces.
●
Try using any cleaner on a small area first,
to ensure it doesn’t stain.
●
Use only clean sponges, soft cloths,
paper towels, and plastic non-metal pads
for cleaning or scouring (use only soap
pads with soap still in them, an empty
pad can scratch).
●
Do not use aerosol cleaners until
the cooktop has completely cooled.
The propellant substance in these
cleaners could catch fire in the
presence of heat.
●
Do not let soiling or grease
accumulate anywhere on the
cooktop. This will make future
cleaning more difficult and may
present a fire hazard.
●
Do not use any abrasive or harsh
cleaners, cloths, scouring pads or
steel wool. These will scratch your
cooktop and damage its appearance.
●
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
any part of the cooktop.
●
Do not perform any cleaning
or maintenance on parts not
specifically named in the chart
below. If in doubt, contact Customer
Care.
CARE AND CLEANING
IMPORTANT!
Before any cleaning or maintenance, always:
●
turn all burners off.
●
switch the power to the cooktop off at the wall.
●
make sure that the cooktop and its parts are a safe temperature to touch.
General advice
●
Clean the cooktop regularly—do not let stains become burnt on, as they may become
very difficult to remove.
●
All parts of the appliance can be cleaned with a small amount of hot soapy water,
rinsed, dried and buffed to a shine with a soft, heavy pile cloth. Always try this first,
as it is the mildest cleaning procedure.
●
Do not use abrasive cleaners, cloths or pads to clean any part of your cooktop. Some
nylon scourers may also scratch. Check the label.
●
To avoid marring the surfaces, always rub metal finishes in the direction of the polish
lines. The cleaner will be more effective when used in the direction of the polish lines.
●
Clean up spillages as soon as possible. If left to dry on, food residue may clog the
flame ports, causing an uneven flame pattern.
●
Make sure that no cleaner residue is left on any cooktop part; when heated, these
could stain the cooktop.
●
See the following pages for instructions on reassembling the burners correctly
after cleaning.
●
Do not clean cooktop parts in a self-cleaning oven.
●
Do not use a steam cleaner.
