Essential Information
Before thorough cleaning, turn off the circuit breaker. Allow
the range to cool.
After cleaning, remember to switch on the circuit breaker and
reset the clock before re-using the range.
D
Never use paint solvents, caustic cleaners, biological
n
n
powders, bleach, chlorine based bleach cleaners,
coarse abrasives or salt.
Do not mix different cleaning products – they may
n
n
react together with hazardous results.
Daily Care
Cleaning the range is not a welcomed chore, but it has to be
done to maintain efficiency and appearance. Remember it
is better to wipe up any spills as they occur, this will prevent
them burning on and becoming more difficult to remove
later.
Make sure the flow of combustion and ventilation air
n
n
to the range is unobstructed – for example by build-
up of fats or grease.
If the flame is distorted, check that the burner head is
correctly placed over the burner base.
If the flame burns with a long white tip you should call for
service.
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. 7.1).
When replacing burner head, ensure this locates properly
within the base (Fig. 7.2).
If you look at the bottom of the burner head you will see two
'pips'; these fit into the two notches in the burner base
(Fig. 7.3).
Check burner ports are not blocked. If blockage occurs,
remove stubborn particles using a piece of fuse wire.
Stainless Steel Main Top
Lift away pots or pans from main top. Remove grates from
spillage area and carefully place in a sink of warm soapy
water. Wipe loose debris from main top. Avoid using any
abrasive cleaners including cream cleaners on brushed
stainless steel surfaces. For best results use a liquid detergent
cleaner. Rinse with cold water and thoroughly dry with a
clean, soft cloth. Ensure all parts are dry before repositioning.
