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 'Jif' with a soft scourer. For more stubborn marks you
can use a soap-filled pad such as 'Brillo'.
After cleaning the cooker 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.
The grill and second oven
Clean the grill and oven frequently using hot soapy water.
After use you can soak the grill pan for a few minutes and then clean
it using mild abrasives or a soap filled pad such as 'Brillo'. Clean the
shelf using hot soapy water. Mild abrasives can be used if necessary.
The heat in the oven will change the colour of the solid plate on the
shelf. You must not remove the solid plate from the shelf. You can soak
the shelf in hot soapy water to make cleaning easier.
