CARE AND CLEANING
HOW?
1 Check that the burner is turned
OFF and allow it to cool.
2 Lift off the burner cap and
brass flame spreader.
3 Wash them in hot soapy water,
rinse, and dry.
Use a stiff nylon brush or
●
straight-ended paper clip to
clear the notches of a flame
spreader.
4 Replace the flame spreader
and burner cap correctly. See
'Replacing the burner parts'.
1 Check that the burner is turned
OFF.
2 Clean the ignitor with a small
brush (eg old toothbrush) or
cotton swab that has been
dipped into denatured alcohol..
1 Wait until the grates have
cooled completely.
2 Carefully lift the grates off the
cooktop and place them on a
protected surface.
3 To remove stubborn stains,
soak the grates in a mixture of
clothes washing detergent and
water.
4 Wash in a mixture of hot water
and dishwashing liquid, then
rinse and allow to dry.
The grates are also dishwasher
●
safe.
Contact your local Authorized
●
Repairer to perform a thorough
check on all gas components of
the cooktop.
For Authorized Repairer details,
●
see your Service & warranty
book.
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.
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.
Rapid cooling of the grates
●
such as placing hot grates in
cool or tepid water to clean,
can thermally shock the
porcelain coating and cause
cracking or chipping.
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.
