CARE AND CLEANING
WHAT?
HOW OFTEN?
HOW? IMPORTANT!
Burner caps
and
brass flame
spreaders
As needed,
but at least
once a month
1 Check that the burner is turned
OFF and allow it to cool.
2 Lift off the burner cap and
brass flame spreader.
3 Wash them in hot soapy water,
rinse, and dry.
●
Use a stiff nylon brush or
straight-ended paper clip to
clear the notches of a flame
spreader.
4 Replace the flame spreader
and burner cap correctly. See
‘Replacing the burner parts’.
●
Keep the notches of the flame
spreaders clear. Soiling may
clog these and cause ignition
problems.
●
Before replacing the burner
parts, check that they are dry.
Wet burner parts may result
in an irregular flame.
●
Before lighting a burner you
have reassembled, check that
all of its parts are positioned
correctly. Incorrect assembly
can cause dangerous irregular
flames and ignition problems.
Ignitors
At least once
a month
1 Check that the burner is turned
OFF.
2 Clean the ignitor with a small
brush (eg old toothbrush) or
cotton swab that has been
dipped into denatured alcohol..
●
The ignitors must be kept
clean and dry to work
correctly. Dirty or wet ignitors
could cause constant clicking
and sparking, even if a flame
is present.
Burner grates
As needed,
but at least
once a month
1 Wait until the grates have
cooled completely.
2 Carefully lift the grates off the
cooktop and place them on a
protected surface.
3 To remove stubborn stains,
soak the grates in a mixture of
clothes washing detergent and
water.
4 Wash in a mixture of hot water
and dishwashing liquid, then
rinse and allow to dry.
●
The grates are also dishwasher
safe.
●
Take care, the grates are
heavy.
●
Make sure you place a dish
towel or other soft cover on
the surface before putting a
grate on it.
●
Rapid cooling of the grates
such as placing hot grates in
cool or tepid water to clean,
can thermally shock the
porcelain coating and cause
cracking or chipping.
All gas
components
of the cooktop
Once every
3-4 years
●
Contact your local Authorized
Repairer to perform a thorough
check on all gas components of
the cooktop.
●
For Authorized Repairer details,
see your Service & warranty
book.
●
All checking and maintenance
must be performed by a
suitably qualified person.
●
If the gas is connected with a
flexible hose, checking should
include inspecting the entire
length of the flexible hose
assembly for any sign of wear
or damage.
