Cleaning the burners
oGas burners should be cleaned regularly and after each spillage to remove cooking residues and dirt.
o To clean the burners, remove the caps and rings and place them separately in warm soapy water. After cleaning them, check that the burner ports are clear.
o The body near the nozzle should always be clean. Dirt accumulating around the nozzle may clog it, as a result of which the burner will not light or will light only with a small flame. To clean the nozzle use a brush soaked in solvent.
oDry all the elements of the burner carefully as wet elements may not light properly. Assemble the clean and dry burners carrying out the disassembly steps in reverse order.
Cleaning the oven
oThe oven compartment is coated with vitreous enamel. To clean particularly difficult burnt spots a special oven cleaning agent may be used. However, as these agents are caustic, be careful when using them and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.
Warning: Do not steam pressure clean the oven. Always wait until the oven cools down before cleaning.
