OVEN PARTS
Oven door
gasket
Avoid cleaning this part. If you
need to remove large food particles
off it, proceed as follows:
1 Dampen a sponge with clean
hot water.
2 Gently wipe off the soiling,
but do not rub.
3 Press a dry towel gently on the
gasket to dry.
●
Do not use any cleaning
agent on the gasket.
●
The gasket is essential
for a good seal. Take care
not to rub, displace, or
damage it.
COOKTOP PARTS
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 the 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
(eg 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.
