and care
Stainless steel top
•
All grades of stainless steel may stain, discolor or attain
an adhering layer of grime in normal operation. To archive
maximum surface appearance, stainless steel must be kept
clean by regularly using the following cleaning procedures,
thus ensuring good performance and long service life.
Wash with warm soapy water and rinse with clean water.
Where the stainless steel has become extremely dirt with
signs of surface discoloration,(due to periods of neglect or
misuse )use a stainless steel cleaner.
•
Do not use the stainless steel top as a work table.
Burner caps & crowns
•
These can all be lifted off and removed for separate
cleaning.
•
Ensure burner caps and crowns are thoroughly dried
after cleaning or spillage.
•
When cleaning the burner, ensure that all the flame ports,
injector hole and other holes are free of any blockage.
(Fig 13,14)
•
If necessary, use a matchstick or brush to clean ports.
•
After cleaning, ensure the burner caps are
reassembled properly into position.
•
After cleaning, when assembling the burner crown and
caps, care must be taken to ensure the spark plug is not
knocked. The spark plug will crack if knocked and may
give rise to flame ignition problem.
