When replacing hotplate burner parts
1.Crown to body (Do not try to force the crown on to the body). Make sure that the hole in the crown is centrally over the electrode.
Check that the two longer location pegs sit in the slots in the body. When the crown is in the position let it fall freely on to the body.
Check that the crown can be moved slightly from side to side.
2.Cap to crown
Place cap centrally on the top of crown (enamel side up). Move sideways and front to back to check the cap is fitted properly.
3.Check for ignition
If a burner will not light then you need to check the crown and cap positions.
The grill
Clean the area around the grill frequently using hot soapy water.
After use you can soak the pan for a few minutes and then clean it using mild abrasives or a soap filled pad such as 'Brillo'.
