The hotplate
Clean the hotplate top using a mild abrasive such as 'Cif'. 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.
If any food spills during cooking you can place the pan on another
burner to finish cooking. Then you can remove the dirty parts and clean
them before the spill 'burns on'.
Clean the burner crowns by soaking them in very hot soapy water.
You can remove any stubborn stains by scouring with a soap filled pad
such as 'Brillo'. If you look after the burner crowns in this way they will
stay reasonably clean. However the surface will dull with time.
Aluminium based saucepans can leave shiny metal marks on the
pan supports. Clean the pan supports regularly to remove the marks
using a mild abrasive like 'Cif' with a soft scourer. For more stubborn
marks you can use a soap-filled pad such as 'Brillo'.
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
two longer 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.
