Care and cleaning
C S I G 3 1 6
For your safety
For hygiene and safety reasons you must keep this gas cooker clean. A build up of fat or other foodstuff could cause a fire.
Try to mop up spills and splashes as soon as they happen. But be careful as parts of the cooker will be hot.
Do not use any polishes, caustic cleaners, abrasives, washing soda or soap except those recommended.
Please note: If we recommend you use hot soapy water we mean hot water with washing up liquid in it and not any other cleaning product.
If you own a dishwasher please read the operating instructions for the machine before you wash any part of your cooker in it.
Clean your cooker regularly using a cloth that has been wrung out in hot soapy water. Rinse and polish it dry using a soft cloth.
When you remove parts of your cooker for cleaning do not plunge them into water whilst they are very hot as this may damage the finish of the parts.
Cleaning the handles
It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water is used for cleaning the door handles.
The hotplate
Clean the hotplate top using a mild abrasive such as 'Jif'. Take care not to damage the spark electrodes. If the spark electrodes are damaged the burners will not light.
You can remove the pan supports, burner caps and burner crowns to clean them. Again take care not to damage the spark electrodes.
If any food spills during cooking you can place the pan on another burner to finish cooking. Then you can remove the dirty parts and clean them before the spill 'burns on'.
