Care and cleaning
What?
How often?
How? Important!
Control
knobs
As needed
1
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild
detergent.
2
Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Do not use stainless steel or oven
cleaner on the knobs, as doing so
may damage their coating.
Burner
parts, pan
supports
As needed,
but at least
once a month
1
Remove the parts that you wish to clean.
See the Figs. following for illustrations of
removable burner parts.
2
Soak stubborn stains in a solution of
biological clothes washing detergent.
3
Clean the parts in hot soapy water. Use
a stiff nylon brush or straight-ended
paper clip to clear the notches of a flame
spreader.
4
Rinse in warm water.
5
Dry thoroughly.
6
Replace the parts correctly, following
Figs. 22-23.
These parts are also dishwasher safe.
Make sure you keep the
notches of the flame spreaders
clear. Soiling may clog these
and cause problems.
Before replacing the burner
parts, make sure that they are
completely dry. Wet burner
parts may result in an irregular
flame. Before lighting a burner
you have reassembled, check
that all of its parts have been
positioned correctly. Incorrect
assembly can cause dangerous
irregular flames and ignition
problems.
Ignitor and
probe (some
models only)
At least once
a month
Clean these very carefully using a toothbrush
and methylated spirits (see Fig. 16). The ignitor ensures trouble-free
sparking and the probe (some
models only) ensures that the
safety valves operate correctly.
Check the ignitor and probe
regularly to make sure they are
clean.
All gas
components
of the
cooktop
Once every
3-4
years
Contact your local Authorised Repairer

components on the cooktop.
For Authorised Repairer details, see
your Service & warranty book or contact
Customer Care.
All checking and maintenance
must be performed by a
suitably qualified person.
If the gas is connected with a
flexible hose, checking should
include inspecting the entire
length of the flexible hose
assembly for any sign of wear
or damage.
