CARE AND CLEANING
WHAT?
HOW OFTEN?
HOW?
IMPORTANT!
COOKTOP PARTS
Burner caps
and flame
spreaders
1
Check that the burner is turned
OFF and allow it to cool.
2
Lift off the burner cap and brass
flame spreader.
3
Wash them in hot soapy water,
rinse, and dry.
●
●
Use a stiff nylon brush or straight-
ended paper clip to clear the
notches of the flame spreader.
4
Replace the flame spreader and
burner cap correctly. See ‘Replacing
the burner parts’.
●
●
Keep the notches of
the flame spreaders
clear. Soiling may clog
these and cause ignition
problems.
●
●
Before replacing the
burner parts, check that
they are dry. Wet burner
parts may result in an
irregular flame.
●
●
Before lighting a burner
you have reassembled,
check that all of its parts
are positioned correctly.
Incorrect assembly can
cause dangerous irregular
flames and ignition
problems.
●
●
Do not put burner parts
in the dishwasher as they
will become discolored.
Ignitors
1
Check that the burner is turned
OFF.
2
Clean the ignitor with a small brush
(e.g. old toothbrush) or cotton swab
that has been dipped into rubbing
alcohol.
●
●
The ignitors must be
kept clean and dry to
work correctly. Dirty or
wet ignitors could cause
constant clicking and
sparking, even if a flame
is present.
Burner grates
1
Wait until the grates have cooled
completely.
2
Carefully lift the grates off the
cooktop and place them on a
protected surface.
3
To remove stubborn stains, soak
the grates in a mixture of clothes
washing detergent and water.
4
Wash in a mixture of hot water and
dishwashing liquid, then rinse and
allow to dry.
●
●
The grates are also dishwasher safe.
●
●
Take care, the grates are
heavy.
●
●
Make sure you place a
dish towel or other soft
cover on the surface
before putting a grate
on it.

To remove stubborn stains, soak
the grates in a mixture of clothes
washing detergent and water.
