CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
Please follow the maintenance and cleaning guidelines below to keep your cooktop in good working
order.
The cooktop should be cleaned regularly with all stains and boil overs being cleaned up. Do not allow
stains and boil overs to become burnt onto the appliance. Avoid using chlorine based cleaners (like
bleach). Do not use steam or high pressure cleaners on the appliance.
Avoid leaving acidic or alkaline substances on the cooktop.
Please ensure the cooktop is cold when cleaning, to avoid burns from hot components.
Try to minimise the use of specialized cleaning products. Attempt to clean with soapy water and a
sponge. If this is not successful, a mild cleaner can be used.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourer type pads to clean the appliance. These can damage the
tempered glass.
Burners and enamelled components are only to be washed with soapy water and sponges. Do not use
abrasive cleaners on these components.
When cleaning the burner components, please ensure that they are fully dry before replacing them on
the cooktop and before use.
Ensure that all components are placed back onto the cooktop correctly. Failure to do so can cause
problems with the burners igniting and functioning correctly.
For semi-rapid and rapid burners, first place the brass burner skirt over the burner body, so that the
extruded section at the base is sitting over the injector. Rotate the brass burner skirt until the slots
match up with the ignitor and sensor pins. Place the brass burner skirt into the burner body so that it
fits snuggly and level. The brass burner skirt should lock into position so it cannot be rotated. Secondly
place the steel burner cover evenly on the four extrusions at the top of the brass burner skirt.
For wok burners, the first operation is similar to that for semi-rapid and rapid burners. Once positioned,
there are two steel burner covers to be placed on top of the brass burner skirt. The outer burner cover
sits evenly over the outer chamber of the brass burner skirt, and the inner burner cover sits evenly on
the three extrusions at the centre of the brass burner cover.
MAINTENANCE
Clean the tempered glass cooktop as above after every use.
Clean brass burner top and trivet at least once a week, or after any spillage.
Gas inlet pipes should be checked periodically for leakages (see section on leak testing) a minimum of
every 12 months.
Lubrication of gas valves - this can only be performed by an authorised person. It may be required if the
gas tap become stiff and difficult to turn.
FAULT FINDING CHART
Fault
Possible cause (corrective action)
No spark / No ignition of
gas.
Power outage, appliance power turned off at isolation switch, fuse blown / tripped, no gas to the
appliance (check supplies). Spillage of liquid over burner (clean up spillage on burner components).
Burner not assembled correctly (Refer to assembly instruction manual).
Burner ignites but flame
goes out when control
knobs released.
Control knob not depressed down enough when igniting burner, control knob being released from the
ignition mode too early (try ignition again). Spillage of liquid over burner (clean up spillage on burner
components). Burner not assembled correctly (Refer to assembly instruction manual). Faulty
thermocouple (technician call out required call Omega service centre).
Erratic / Abnormal
flames or noise when
operating the appliance.
Burner not assembled correctly (Refer to assembly instructions). Spillage of liquid over burner (Clean up
spillage on burner components). Oversize cooking vessel being used on the appliance (use smaller
cooking vessels). Internal ignition of burner (Turn off gas and reignite burner). Wrong gas type being
