You can wash the removable parts in very hot soapy water. You may

use mild abrasives. Make sure that the electrode and the hole and slots
in the crown are not blocked with food or cleaning materials.

Clean the burner crowns by soaking them in very hot soapy water.

You can remove any stubborn stains by scouring with a soap  filled  pad
such as  'Brillo'.  If you look after the burner crowns in this way they will
stay reasonably clean. However the surface will dull with time.
Aluminium based saucepans can leave shiny metal marks on the pan
supports. Clean the pan supports regularly to remove the marks using a
mild abrasive like 'Cif' with a soft scourer. For more stubborn marks you
can use a soap-filled pad such as 'Brillo'.

After cleaning the appliance parts, dry

them thoroughly before you put them back.

When replacing hotplate burner parts

1. Crown to body (Do not try to force the

crown on to the body).
Make sure that the hole in the crown is
over the electrode. Check that the two
longer location pegs sit in the slots in the
body. When the crown is in this position
let it fall freely on to the body. Check that
the crown can be moved slightly from
side to side.

2. Cap to crown                                      

Place cap centrally on the top of the
crown (enamel side up). Move sideways
and front to back to check the cap is
properly fitted.

3. Check for ignition

If a burner will not light then you need to

check the crown and cap positions.
