Cooktop
As your cooker is made up of a number of different elements, we recommend applying a cleaning
procedure adapted to each specific case.
However, it should be noted that, once you have memorized a few "tips", the maintenance of "La
Cornue" cooker is easier than any other, on condition that it is cleaned regularly.
Use a paper towel or a cloth to clean your cooktop and backsplash while they are still warm becau-
se grease or food splashes are then easy to remove and do not require any cleaning products.
The burners
Don’t forget that high-flame cooking can cause oil and grease to splatter on adjoining cooking ele-
ments, including the back panel and table surround.
In this case, clean off any warm grease or oil with a cloth, and polish up where necessary.
Black enamel burner covers
Clean the burner covers, using washing-up liquid and a sponge; then rinse and dry.
In case of baked-on grease and oil or milk splatters, spray on an oven-cleaning product which does
not contain caustic soda. Leave it for 15 to 30 minutes, then clean with water, washing-up liquid
and a non-abrasive sponge.
Rinse the covers and dry them thoroughly before reinstalling them.
Important note: Always check that the gas outlet holes are not blocked.
Grills in matt enamelled cast iron
Grills do not usually get dirty: simply wipe them with a cloth for routine cleaning.
From time to time, clean the grills with water and washing-up liquid. If they should turn charcoal
grey, this does not imply any deterioration. In fact, this cast iron support has a very long service
life.
The stainless steel surrounds and backsplash
This stainless steel structure should be cleaned regularly, using a standard detergent and a damp
sponge.
Do not rub with an abrasive product in an irregular fashion, or by using circular movements.
A mildly abrasive sponge can also be used, respecting the polishing direction.
An oven spray should be used to clean off any baked-on grease from the back panel. Spray on the
product, wait 20 to 30 minutes, then simply wipe off the dissolved grease with a cloth or damp
sponge. Nevertheless, to clean stainless steel, we recommend spraying the cleaning product direct-
ly onto the sponge, or the use of a knife blade, covered with a cloth, to clean out the space between
the hob and back panel.
Remember: oven sprays are powerful products and therefore should only be applied to the
parts we have specified. Never apply it to front panels, bars and control knobs.
