CLEANING GENERAL
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
1.
PAN SUPPORTS, TRIVETS:
These are made from cast iron and coated in a vitreous enamel to provide a resilient mat finish. These can be
placed in the dishwasher (on a gentle cycle) or alternatively cleaned with a soft bristled brush in warm soapy water.
2.
BURNERS:
The burner caps are solid brass with a black chrome finish to avoid discoloration of the brass. NOTE: The black chrome will
eventually burn off with time however this will not affect the performance of the burners. The burners can be re- chromed with Franke`s
exchange program, for a nominal fee. The burner cap can be removed and cleaned with a soft bristled brush and warm soapy water or they
can be placed in the dishwasher.
NOTE: AFTER CLEANING (ESPECIALLY IN A DISHWASHER) PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE PORTS (BURNER HOLES) ARE FREE OF ANY FOOD,
WATER OR DEBRIS. THESE ARE EASILY CLEARED WITH A TOOTHPICK OR NEEDLE.
NOTE: DO NOT UNSCREW ANY PART OF THE BURNER SYSTEM.
3.
STAINLESS STEEL: Should be cleaned with a commercially available stainless cleaner.
NOTE: DO NOT USE ABRASIVE POWDERS OR SCOURER PADS AS THESE WILL SCRATCH THE SURFACE OF THE STAINLESS STEEL.
NOTE: DO NOT USE AGGRESSIVE CHEMICAL CLEANERS LIKE AMMONIA OR OVEN CLEANERS AS THESE MAY ETCH OR DISCOLOUR THE
SURFACE.
4.
CERAMIC GLASS:
After cooking it is recommended that the ceramic glass be cleaned with a commercially available glass cleaner (eg Windex)
to remove any light spills or grease.
NOTE: STUBBORN STAINS AND BURNT FOOD SHOULD BE CLEANED WITH A CERAMIC GLASS CREAM AND REMOVED WITH A RAZOR
SCRAPPER. DO NOT USE SCOURING PADS OF ANY KIND. WE RECOMMEND APPLYING THE CREAM WITH A DRY CLOTH AND APPLYING IN A
CIRCULAR RUBBING MOTION TO REMOVE THE STAIN/FOOD.
