Essential Information

Before thorough cleaning, turn off the circuit breaker. Allow the range to cool.

After cleaning, remember to switch on the circuit breaker and reset the clock before re-using the range.

Never use paint solvents, caustic cleaners, biological powders, bleach, chlorine based bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt. Do not mix different cleaning products – they may react together with hazardous results.

Daily Care

Cleaning the range is not a welcomed chore, but it has to be done to maintain efficiency and appearance. Remember it is better to wipe up any spills as they occur, this will prevent them burning on and becoming more difficult to remove later.

Make sure the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the range is unobstructed – for example by build- up of fats or grease.

If the flame is distorted, check that the burner head is correctly placed over the burner base.

If the flame burns with a long white tip you should call for service.

Cleaning for Spills

For spills and boil-overs that occur while cooking, as soon as possible turn off the burner and allow it to cool. Do not clean until the area is completely cooled down. Wipe up spills as soon as possible.

Do not allow surplus water to seep into the range.

Cooktop Burners

The Single Ring Burners

When refitting the burner head, make sure that the notch lines up with the electrode or hole in the base. Check that the burner head is level and that the cap is fitted centrally on the burner head (Fig.6-1).

The Wok Burner

The wok burner can be taken apart for cleaning (Fig.6-2).

When reassembling the burner, turn over the large base ring and find the ‘D’ shaped area (Fig.6-3).

Turn the head until the ‘D’ matches the one on the burner base. Turn the head over and place it on the burner base.

To fit the small inner burner, find the larger electrode notch in the burner rim. Line this up with the white ignition electrode and place the inner burner on the large base ring (Fig.6-4).

Now fit the two trim rings, making sure that they are sitting down properly.
