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 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.
Clean the burner crowns and pan supports by
soaking them in very hot soapy water. Aluminium
based saucepans can leave shiny 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 crowns 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
thoroughly before you put them back.
WHEN REPLACING HOTPLATE BURNER
PARTS
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 body. Check
that the crown can be moved slightly from side
to side.
2. Cap to crown. Place cap centrally on the top of
crown (enamel side up). Move sideways and
front to back 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.
CLEANING THE SHELVES, WIRE- WORK
RUNNERS AND GRILL/OVEN FURNITURE
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can
be washed in the dishwasher.
The grill pan, grill pan grid, oven shelves and
wirework runners may be cleaned using a soap
impregnated steel wool pad. Soaking first in hot
soapy water will make cleaning easier.
