5.1 General
Your appliance has been manufactured from high-grade materials, which are easy for you
to clean.
•
Regular cleaning immediately after use prevents over-cooked food being able to
become ingrained and cause stubborn stains that are diffi cult to remove. Use a mild
cleaning agent.
•
Clean the control knobs, burners and pan supports fi rst and then the drip tray.
This avoids the drip tray getting dirty again during cleaning.
•
Clean the spark plugs preferably with a cloth. Do this carefully. the spark plug can
become defective. The sparkplug will only operate correctly in a dry environment.
If the plug is very dirty, you may clean the point with a tiny brush.
•
Set the pan supports down vertically, without sliding them over the drip tray.
•
Assemble the burner parts with the aid of the guide ridges, paying attention to the
cut-out sections for the spark-plug and thermocouple. Make sure that the burner
parts lie fl at.
5.2 Cleaning
5.2.1 Stubborn stains on enamel (pan supports, burner caps and drip trays)
•
Remove with a non-abrasive cream. Never use scouring powder, scouring pads, sharp
objects or aggressive cleansing agents.
5.2.2 Stubborn stains on stainless steel (drip trays)
•
If spilled, acid fl uids and sugary foodstuffs like red cabbage, beetroot, soy sauce,
applesauce and rhubarb may cause the surface to discolour. Stubborn stains on
stainless steel are best removed with a cleaning agent for stainless steel. Always polish
in the direction of the steel structure to avoid shine spots (this kind of damage is not
covered by the warranty!).
•
If the above methods do not remove the stains, clean the plate with a special cleaning
agent for stainless steel (see our website ‘www.pelgrimservice.nl’). Remember to treat
the entire drip tray in order to avoid discolouring. Also, as a follow-up treat the drip
tray with a polish or maintenance agent for stainless steel. Please note that over the
years the surface will slightly discolour.
5.2.3 Cleaning the pan support
•
The enamel on the pan supports is suitable for cleaning by dishwasher. However, the
connection with the rubber feet is not. Therefore do not clean the pan supports in
the dishwasher. Moreover, the pan supports might show some discoloration if they
were washed in the dishwasher. If the rubber feet are lost, the pan support is likely to
damage the drip tray.
5.2.4 Cleaning removable burner components
•
The removable burner components (including wok) are best cleaned with a mild
cleaning product and a soft cloth. In the case of obstinate stains you can soak the
parts in hot suds.
•
Burner parts should not be cleaned in the dishwasher. The parts may be damaged by
the dishwasher detergent!
•
Never use scouring powder, scouring pads, sharp objects or aggressive cleansing
agents.
