Care and cleaning
Cleaning the cooktop/hob
Use warm soapy water for cleaning when the cooktop is cold. Apply soapy water with a soft sponge or cloth. Do not use steel soap pads as these may dull the appearance of your appliance over time. Trivets/pan supports can be washed in the dishwasher. Abrasive cleaners may damage the stainless steel, trivets/pan supports and the knobs. After cleaning, wipe dry with a clean cloth to ensure the surface is thoroughly dry. For extra shine, use a stainless steel polish. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any part of the cooktop as these may damage the cooktop.
The burner and burner caps can be cleaned in hot water, it is important that the holes are kept clear. When replacing the burner rings after cleaning, turn the rings until the positioning teeth are placed correctly. Be careful of sharp edges at each end of the cooktop/hob.
Cleaning the barbeque
Place the barbeque grid in hot water with a small amount of detergent when cool to touch. If there is food residue left on the Grid, scrub with a wire barbeque brush to remove it.
Make sure that the Barbeque Grid is completely dry before replacing.
The rock tray, lava rocks and drip pan can also be removed and washed to get rid of any build up of fat and food. Lift up the element when cool to touch, to remove the rock tray & drip pan. Fat that accumulates in the tray lip can be removed by wiping with a paper towel. Clean the lava rocks by boiling for 20 minutes in a large container of water and dishwashing detergent. Sun dry and replace. The rocks will change colour after use.
