Cleaning and Maintenance
CAUTION!
• Before cleaning the cooktop, it is recommended that you unplug the appliance from the mains electricity
supply if the power plug is accessible.
• Make sure that all the burner control knobs are switched off and the cooktop surface is cool enough to
touch before cleaning.
• Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaning agents (such as scouring powders, abrasive stones, wire brushes
and so on) or sharp objects that may scratch the stainless steel cooktop surface.
Cleaning the Gas Cooktop
To keep the gas cooktop in good working order and ensure food safety it is highly recommended that you
clean the cooktop regularly preferably after each use.
Enamelled parts
• Remove (Fig 16) the cast iron trivets (1) from the cooktop and the burner caps
(2) from the burner base from the cooktop and clean them the same way as
the cooktop surface: with a soft cloth wrung out in warm, soapy water.
• Remove tough stains from enamelled parts using a nonabrasive liquid
detergent, a creamy cleanser suitable for cleaning vitreous enamel or a fine
steel wool soap pad.
• The enamelled trivets may also be washed in a dishwasher.
• Do not clean the burner base in a Dishwasher. Only clean with a damp cloth.
Aluminium Parts
Review the burner parts once a month to see if they require cleaning. Check that nothing is clogging the
mechanism. Use a thin steel needle to remove any dirt, combustion residues or spilled food residues from the
burner slots.
• Remove the burner bodies from the cooktop and clean them the same way as the enamelled parts, or use
a nylon brush to remove any cleaning materials, water or dirt.
• After cleaning, rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Clean the ignition plugs and flame failure probes (Fig. 17) carefully with a nylon brush and methylated
spirits to ensure proper ignition and operation of the safety valves.
• Refit all burner parts to their dedicated spaces on the cooktop, ensuring they are correctly in place. The
hole in the ring of the burner fits over the ignition plug (Fig. 18). If it does not fit, you are trying to fit the
burner body onto the wrong burner.
• To check that all parts are reassembled correctly, light the burners and allow them to dry out.
