OFF AT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY. | (Do not try to force the crown on to the body). | ||||
CLEANING MATERIALS |
|
| Make sure that the hole in the crown is over the | ||
|
| electrode. Check that the two longer location pegs sit | |||
Before using any cleaning | materials on your | in the slots in the body. When the crown is in this | |||
position let it fall freely on to the body. Check that the | |||||
appliance, check that they are suitable and that their | |||||
crown can be moved slightly from side to side. | |||||
use is recommended by the manufacturer. | |||||

Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as | 2. Cap to crown | ||||

| 3. Check for ignition | ||
|
| If a burner will not light then you need to check the | |||
The hotplate |
|
| crown and cap positions. | ||
|
|
|
| ||
Clean the hotplate top using a mild abrasive such as |
|
| |||
'Cif'. 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'. |
|
|
|
| |
Clean the burner crowns by soaking them in very hot |
|
| |||
soapy water. You can remove any stubborn stains by |
|
| |||
scouring with a soap filled pad such as 'Brillo'. If you |
|
| |||
look after the burner crowns in this way they will stay |
|
| |||
reasonably clean. However the surface will dull with |
|
| |||
time. |
|
|
|
| |
Aluminium based saucepans can leave shiny metal |
|
| |||
|
| ||||
marks on the pan supports. Clean the pan supports |
|
| |||
regularly to remove the marks using a mild abrasive |
|
| |||
like 'Cif' with a soft scourer. For more stubborn |
|
| |||
marks you can use a |

After cleaning the appliance parts, dry them |

| |||
thoroughly before you put them back. |
