Care and cleaning
What? How?
Important!
Control knobs
1
Wipe with a damp cloth using a solution of
mild detergent and hot water.
2
Dry thoroughly with microfiber cloth.
If wished, the knobs can be removed for
cleaning. Before removing a knob, make
sure that it is set to OFF, then pull it straight
towards you. Remove only one knob at a
time, and make sure that you refit it on its
shaft completely and correctly after cleaning.
Do not use stainless
steel cleaner on these
parts, as doing so may
damage their coating.
The knobs are not
interchangeable: if
you remove them for
cleaning, do so one at
a time. This is to ensure
that you replace each
knob exactly where you
removed it from.
Burner caps and
brass 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 a flame
spreader.
4
Replace the flame spreader and burner cap
correctly. See ‘Replacing the burner parts’.
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.
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.
