DOs
Once the appliance is
cold, clean it with a spon-
ge and soapy water.
Clean the surface of the
heating elements once
they have cooled down,
each time they are used.
Even small amounts of dirt
burn when it is switched
on again.
The burners and pans su-
pport must be cleaned re-
gulary to keep them clean.
This is done by submer-
ging them in soaply water
and scrubbing them them
with a non-metal brush to
keep the holes and slits
free from obstruction so
they can give a perfect
flame.
Dry the burner covers
whenever wet or damp.
After cleaning and drying
the burners, make sure
that the covers are proper-
ly in position on the flame
diffuser.
