Cleaning the hob Clean the hotplate top using a mild
abrasive. Take care not to damage
the spark electrodes. If the spark
electrodes are damaged th e 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.
Clean the burner crowns and pan
supports by soaking them in very hot
soapy water. Aluminium based
saucepans can leave s hiny metal
marks on the pan supports. You can
remove any stubborn stains by
scouring with a soap impregnated
steel wool pad. If you look after the
burner cr owns and pan supports in
this way they will stay reasonably
clean. However the surface will dull
with time. After cleaning the
appliance parts, dry them t horoughly
before you put them back.
1. Crown to body. (Do not try to
force the crown on to the body).
Make sure that the hole in the
crown is over the electrode.
Check that the location pegs sit
in the slots in the body. When
the crown is in this position let it
fall freely on to the bo dy. Check
that the crown can be moved
slightly from side to side.
2. Cap to crown. Place cap
centrally on the t op of crown
(enamel side up). Mov e
sideways and front to b ack to
check the cap is properly fitted.
3. Check for ignition. If a burner
will not light then you need to
check the crown and cap
positions.
