Care and cleaning Cleaning the pan supports (the pan support pins and burner head) Important! Do not wash pan supports in a dishwasher or use dishwashing machine detergent to clean these parts as this may damage the easy-clean coating. After reassembling any burner, always lower the burner before using the CookSurface to check it has been reassembled correctly.
