Care and cleaning
Important!
Do not use stainless steel or oven
cleaner on the knobs, as doing so
may damage their coating.
Make sure you keep the
notches of the flame spreaders
clear. Soiling may clog these
and cause problems.
Before replacing the burner
parts, make sure that they are
completely dry. Wet burner
parts may result in an irregular
flame. Before lighting a burner
you have reassembled, check
that all of its parts have been
positioned correctly. Incorrect
assembly can cause dangerous
irregular flames and ignition
problems.
The ignitor ensures trouble-free
sparking and the probe (some
models only) ensures that the
safety valves operate correctly.
Check the ignitor and probe
regularly to make sure they are
clean.
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.
