•
Always make sure that the cooker is turned off before cleaning.
•
Always clean cooker immediately after use.
•
Do not use steam cleaners. These may cause moisture build-up.
•
Do not use caustic- based cleaners. These will damage aluminums parts, and remove enamel gloss.
Cleaning the enamel
•
Keep enamel clean by wiping it with a soft cloth dipped in warm soapy water.
•
Rub difficult stains with a nylon scourer or creamed powder cleanser.
•
Do not use abrasive cleaners, dry powder cleaners, steel wool or wax polishes.
•
If you use an oven cleaner, then follow the instructions on the product carefully.
Cleaning the control panel
•
Make sure control knobs are in off position.
•
Clean the control panel by wiping it with a soft cloth dipped in warm soapy water and squeezed dry.
•
Take care when cleaning around knobs to ensure printing on control panel is not removed, this can occur if abrasive
cleaners are used, therefore, should not used at all.
Cleaning The Gas Hob
Removing the trivets (Refer Figure 1)
•
The trivets locate in the recessed area of the hob.
•
They can be removed for cleaning by carefully lifting them from the hob.
•
Clean by washing in warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly.
•
Take care when replacing the trivets as dropping them onto the hob may
damage the enamelled surface.
Removing the burners (Refer Figure 2)
•
The burner caps and crowns are removable for cleaning.
•
Flame port bloackage should be removed by means of a match stick or
brush.
•
If the caps, crowns and cups are heavily soiled, use a non-abrasive
cleaning compound.
•
Do not clean them with abrasive or caustic type cleaners, or put in a
dishwasher as they will be damaged.
Refitting the burner crowns and caps
•
The burner crown must be fitted correctly into the burner cup or damage
will occur during operation.
•
To do this, ensure that the 2 ribs on either side of the spark plug hole are positioned into the 2 slots on the burner
cup. (See figure 2).
•
The burner cap is simply positioned over the top of the burner crown.
NOTE:
When the burner is correctly fitted it will sit level on the knob. If ignition is difficult or fails after cleaning, then
either burner parts are not dry or parts have not been positioned correctly.
