Cleaning Your Cooker
Essential Information
Isolate the electricity supply before carrying out any
thorough cleaning. Allow the cooker to cool.
Never use paint solvents, washing soda, caustic
n
cleaners, biological powders, bleach, chlorine based
bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt.
Do not mix different cleaning products: they may
n
react together with hazardous results.
All parts of the cooker can be cleaned with hot soapy
water: but take care that no surplus water seeps into the
appliance.
Remember to switch on the electricity supply before re-using
the cooker.
Daily Care
Cleaning the cooker 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
to the cooker is unobstructed: for example by build-
up of fats or grease.
On Natural Gas the burners flames should be a bluish colour
with, at most, a slight yellowish fringe.
On LP gas the flames may be "softer". The cooktop burner
flames may have a slight yellowish tip.
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 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 cooker.
Cooktop Burners
The burner heads and caps can be removed for cleaning.
Make sure they are absolutely dry before replacing (Fig. 6.1).
When replacing a burner head, make sure that it 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 the burner ports are not blocked. If a blockage occurs,
remove stubborn particles using a piece of fuse wire.
