General advice

Maintenance Period	Description
Daily	Clean gas cooktop as per following
	instructions.
Monthly	Remove all burner parts, and clean using a
	non-abrasive detergent. Rinse in cold water,
	dry thoroughly, and replace.
	Clean the ignitor and probe carefully, using
	a toothbrush and methylated spirits. (Note:
	probe is only on flame-failure models)
Every 3-4 years	Contact your local authorized gas Service
	Agent to perform a thorough check on all gas
	components on the gas cooker.

Before you begin cleaning you must ensure that the cooktop is switched off. Clean the cooktop regularly – do not let stains become burnt on.

Allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning.

Avoid leaving acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar etc.) on the surfaces.

The control knobs may be removed for cleaning but care should be taken not to damage the seal.

Do not clean cooktop parts in a self-cleaning oven.

Do not use steam cleaners because the moisture could get inside the appliance making it dangerous.

For stubborn stains, see the ‘Cleaning chart’.

Enamelled parts

Clean the enamelled parts with a sponge and soapy water only or other non-abrasive products.

Dry preferably with a microfibre or soft cloth.

If acidic substances such as lemon juice, tomato sauce, vinegar etc. are left in contact with the enamel for a long time they will damage the surface.

Stainless steel surfaces

Stainless steel parts should be rinsed with water and dried with a microfibre or soft cloth. Dry thoroughly to avoid leaving water marks. For extra shine on stainless steel, use a stainless steel polish.

Clean brushed stainless steel in the direction of the grain.

For persistent dirt, use specific non-abrasive products available commercially or a little hot vinegar.

Note: regular use could cause discolouring around the burners, because of the high flame temperature.
