Cleaning and care
32
Burner
Do not clean any parts of the burner
in a dishwasher.
The surface of the burner cap will be-
come more matte with time. This is
quite normal and does not indicate
damage to the burner cap.
The burner should be dismantled and
then cleaned only by hand using a
solution of warm water and a small
amount of liquid dish soap applied
with a soft sponge.
Clean any soiling from the flame
openings.
Risk of explosion.
Blocked flame openings can cause a
dangerous build-up of gas in the
base of the cooktop which could ig-
nite and cause an explosion. This
can lead to damage to the appliance
and injury.
Ensure the flame openings are kept
clean at all times.
Parts of the burner that cannot be re-
moved should be wiped clean with a
damp cloth only.
The ignitor and ignition safety device
should be very carefully wiped clean
using a well wrung out cloth.
Do not let the ignitor get wet. If it gets
wet, it will not spark.
Finally dry everything thoroughly with
a clean cloth. Make sure that the
flame openings are completely dry.
Assembling the economy, normal
and power burners
Place the burner head
onto the
burner base
so that the thermo-
couple
, the ignitor
and the re-
taining pins
fit into their respective
holes in the burner head.
Position the burner cap
onto the
burner head
so that the retaining
pins fit into their respective recesses.
Gently twist the burner cap clockwise
or anti-clockwise until it locks into
position. When correctly positioned,
the burner cap will not slide about.
Ensure that all parts of the burner are
reassembled in the correct order.
