CAUTION
Ensure the appliance is off and cool before cleaning.
Enamel (on burner skirts and trivets)
Persistent stains may require rubbing with a nylon scourer or creamed powder cleansers. Household enamel
cleaners are available, follow the manufacturer's instructions in their use. Harsh abrasive cleaners, powder
cleaners, steel wool or wax polishes should not be used.
Stainless steel (Models with Stainless Steel hob)
Simply wipe with a soft cloth using warm water and a mild detergent and rinse with clean water. Where stainless
steel has become extremely dirty or discoloured, use a stainless steel cleaner – but be sure to follow the brushing
lines.
CAUTION
If the ceramic glass surface is cracked, switch off the appliance immediately to avoid the possibility of electric
shock.
Trivets and burners
These can all be lifted off and removed for separate cleaning.
NOTE! When refitting the burners, ensure that they are correctly seated.
Ensure burners are thoroughly dried after cleaning or spillage. When cleaning the burners, ensure that all the flame
ports are free of any blockage (refer to Figure 1b on page 4). If necessary, use a toothpick or brush to clear ports.
The outer surface of the burner caps have a polished finish and extra care needs to be taken to avoid scratching
this surface during cleaning. In instances of heavy soiling, it may be necessary to apply a non-abrasive cleaning
compound and rub with a cloth until the soiling is removed and then finish with a soft, dry cloth.
NOTE! DO NOT place trivets or burners in the dishwasher.
