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.
