Daily Care
Burner Base
Cleaning the range must be done to maintain efficiency and
appearance. Remember it is better to wipe up any spills as
Igniter
they occur, this will prevent them burning on and becoming
more difficult to remove later.
Thermocouple
Make sure the flow of combustion and ventilation air
n
to the range is unobstructed – for example by build-
up of fats or grease.
Cleaning for Spills
For spills and boil-overs that occur while cooking, as soon as
possible turn off the burner and allow it to cool. Do not clean
until the area is completely cooled down. Wipe up spills as
soon as possible.
Do not allow surplus water to seep into the range.
Cooktop Burners
The burner heads and caps can be removed for cleaning.
Make sure they are absolutely dry before replacing (Fig. 5.1).
DO NOT put the burner heads in a dishwasher.
n
When replacing the cooktop burner parts, ensure each part
locates properly (Fig. 5.2).
If you look at the base of the parts you will see locating pins,
or notches, to aid their correct replacement.
If the flame is distorted, check that the burner head is
correctly placed over the burner base.
Check burner ports are not blocked. If blockage occurs,
remove stubborn particles using a piece of fuse wire.
If the flame burns with a long white tip you should call for
service.
Pan Supports
Pan supports should be cleaned in hot soapy water.
DO NOT put the pan supports in a dishwasher.
