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 onto the body). Make sure that the
hole in the crown is centrally 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 crown (enamel side up). Move
sideways and front to back to check the
cap is fitted properly.
3. Check for ignition.
If a burner will not light then you need to check the crown and cap
positions.
