Cleaning your range
Essential information
Before thorough cleaning, turn off the circuit
breaker. Allow the range to cool.
After cleaning remember to switch on the circuit
breaker before using the range.
NEVER use paint solvents, caustic cleaners,
biological powders, bleach, chlorine based bleach
cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt.
DO NOT mix different cleaning products – they may
react together with hazardous results.
Recommended cleaning materials are shown in Table 6.1.
Cleaning the range – 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
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 (Fig. 6.1).
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.
When replacing burner head, make sure this locates properly
within the base (Fig. 6.2). 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. 6.3). Check burner ports are
not blocked. If blockage occurs, remove stubborn particles
using a piece of fuse wire.
