CARE AND CLEANING
WHAT?
HOW OFTEN?
HOW? IMPORTANT!
COOKTOP PARTS
Aluminum and
enamelled
Burner caps
and flame
spreaders
1 Check that the burner is turned
OFF and allow it to cool.
2 Lift off the burner cap and brass
flame spreader.
3 Wash them in hot soapy water,
rinse, and dry.
 Use a stiff nylon brush or
straight-ended paper clip to
clear the notches of the flame
spreader.
4 Replace the flame spreader
and burner cap correctly. See
‘Replacing the burner parts’.
Brass burner parts only:
For extra shine and to remove
tarnish use a suitable brass
cleaner and polish, following
manufacturer’s instructions.
 Keep the notches of the
flame spreaders clear.
Soiling may clog these and
cause ignition problems.
 Before replacing the burner
parts, check that they are
dry. Wet burner parts may
result in an irregular flame.
 Before lighting a burner
you have reassembled,
check that all of its parts
are positioned correctly.
Incorrect assembly can
cause dangerous irregular
flames and ignition
problems.
 Do not put any burner parts
in the dishwasher as they
will become discoloured.
Ignitors
1 Check that the burner is turned
OFF.
2 Clean the ignitor with a small
brush (e.g. old toothbrush)
or cotton swab that has been
dipped into rubbing alcohol.
 The ignitors must be
kept clean and dry to
work correctly. Dirty or
wet ignitors could cause
constant clicking and
sparking, even if a flame is
present.
Burner grates
1 Wait until the grates have cooled
completely.
2 Carefully lift the grates off the
cooktop and place them on a
protected surface.
3 To remove stubborn stains, soak
the grates in a mixture of clothes
washing detergent and water.
4 Wash in a mixture of hot water
and dishwashing liquid, then rinse
and allow to dry.
 The grates are also dishwasher
safe.
 Take care, the grates are
heavy.
 Make sure you place a dish
towel or other soft cover on
the surface before putting a
grate on it.
Wok ring
1 To remove stubborn stains, soak
the grates in a mixture of clothes
washing detergent and water.
2 Wash in a mixture of hot water
and dishwashing liquid, then rinse
and allow to dry.
 The wok ring is also dishwasher-
safe.
