See your ILVE Manual - Page 20 for a detailed explanation of each knob function.
Locate the knob by the indicator next to it. Press and turn the knob to the
spark symbol and keep the knob pressed for
10 seconds
. Once the burner
ignites, continue turning the knob in an counter-clockwise direction to the
first limit-stop which corresponds to a medium power level. If you press
firmly, you can go past the first stop and the external ring goes out, leaving
just the small center burner lit. To regulate the small center burner to minimum, turn the knob
in a counter-clockwise direction to the limit-stop (MINIMUM). To re-ignite the burner, turn the
knob in a clockwise direction past the limit-stop until you reach the required level.
Grates, Caps & Burners
Grates -
should be cleaned once they have cooled. To clean grates, wash with warm
soapy water, then dry immediately. DO NOT use abrasive cleaner like Comet or steel
wool. Grates may discolor over time due to heat, acids or food enzymes. This is natural
and will not affect the performance of the cook top
.
Burner Caps -
sit on the brass burner and should be removed and washed in warm water.
Burner caps SHOULD NOT be put into cold water while hot as crazing can occur. Always
allow caps to cool completely before cleaning
.
Brass Burners -
will tarnish to a brown color with use. To clean, wash in warm soapy
water or soak in white vinegar overnight to remove food splatters.
Cook Top
Clean the Stainless Steel Cook top after each use with a soft clean cloth with household
cleaner. Avoid any cleaners which may contain chloride or a chloride compound. For
persistent stains, use warm white vinegar or a NON-ABRASIVE cleaner. Abrasive cleaners
will scratch the stainless steel. You may polish the cook top surface using a metal polish.
Oven Door
The oven door is composed of three sheets of plate glass. The
plate glass parts may be cleaned using paper towels and an ordi-
nary non-abrasive cleaner. The inside glass may be removed to
facilitate cleaning. To remove the door and glass, please see
detailed instructions on page 14 of your ILVE manual.
Warming Drawer
Every ILVE Majestic range has a warming drawer. Located below
the oven is a full-width drawer that captures residual heat from
the oven above and pulls it into the drawer. It’s important to un-
derstand that for the warming drawer to work, the oven must be
turned on. This chart lists the approximate temperature of the
warming drawer at certain oven temperatures.
DO NOT leave any plastic in the warming drawers.
Cleaning the Oven
The secret to cleaning the oven is to wipe spills as soon as they occur. Clean the oven with
hand dishwashing soap and water. You can also soften stubborn dirt and grime by placing a
shallow pan full of water in the oven and turning it on to a high temperature for 45 to 60
minutes. With the grease and grime loosened, you can clean the oven with soap and water.
Lighting the “Dual” Triple Ring Burner
(30” model only)
Lighting the Gas Burners
After selecting the burner knob, press the knob controlling the desired burner and turn it to-
wards the left. There will be a clicking sound
It is important to press the knob for 10
seconds.
In this way the thermocouple bulb overheats and the gas passage is enabled. For
the “Griddle” and “French Top”, controlling knob only needs to be depressed for 2 seconds.
Self-Cleaning Panels (
Optional
)
If the oven is equipped with self-cleaning catalytic panels, the splashes of fat are trans-
formed into a light powder residue which can then be removed with a damp cloth once the
oven has cooled.
The Griddle Top
We recommend cleaning the plate at the end of each cooking session.
With the plate hot and the flame at minimum, remove the cooking resi-
due using the scraper provided. Pour a small amount of water onto the
plate and, using the scraper, continue cleaning the plate. Once the
water has completely evaporated, repeat the same operation (several
times, if necessary) until the desired result is obtained. It is extremely
important to clean the plate when it is quite hot, so care should be taken
.
The black
enamel flue may be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked with a solution of lukewarm water
and ammonia. Rinse and dry.
