'Replacing the burner parts'.

The wok ring and small pan
●
support are also dishwasher-safe.
IMPORTANT!
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.
Do not put any burner parts
●
in the dishwasher as they
will become discoloured.
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.
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.
