Cleaning and Storage
Please follow the maintenance & cleaning guidelines below to keep your Omega cooktop in good working
order.
The cooktop should be cleaned regularly with all stains and boil overs being cleaned up. Do not allow stains
and boil overs to become burnt onto the appliance.
Please ensure the cooktop is cold when cleaning, to avoid burns from hot components.
Try to minimise the use of specialized cleaning products. Attempt to clean with soapy water and a sponge. If
this is not successful, a mild cleaner can be used.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourer type pads to clean the appliance. These can damage the Stainless
Steel finish or scratch the glass top surface.
A stainless steel cleaner can be applied which gives the cooktop an extra shine. Only apply after cleaning
with soapy water.
Avoid leaving acidic or alkaline substances on the cooktop.
Burners and enamelled components are only to be washed with soapy water & sponges. Do not use
abrasive cleaners on these components.
When cleaning burner components, please ensure that they are fully dry before re-placing on the cooktop
and before use.
Ensure that all components are placed back onto the cooktop correctly. Failure to do so can cause
problems with the burners igniting and functioning correctly. See diagrams on the following page for
how to put the burners back together.
WOK BURNER CLEANING & ASSEMBLY
When fitting the wok burner together, it is very important to check that the burner
flame distributor (F) and the cap (C) are correctly positioned (fig. 6). Failure to do
so can cause problems with ignition and also the way in which the burner
operates.
Check that the electrode (S) is always clean to ensure trouble-free sparking.
Check that the probe (T) is always clean to ensure correct operation of the safety
valves (for models with safety device).
The Wok burner must be correctly positioned (see fig.7). The burner rib must lock
into position on the assembly below. If positioned correctly, the burner will not
rotate (fig.8).
Then position the enamel cap A and the enamel ring B (fig.8).
The four holes around the outside of the crown must always be kept
clean.
When cleaning, remove the flame divider (fig.9) and use a cotton bud,
toothbrush, or a stiff wire brush to clean out any incrustations or dirt
from the four holes marked “H” (fig.10).
This procedure is necessary to ensure the burner functions correctly.
