14. Cleaning Instructions
Do’s
Read these cleaning instructions and the ‘Safety and warnings’ section before you start
cleaning your range.
Before cleaning or removing any part, make sure that everything on the range has been turned
off.
Unless suggested otherwise in the following chart, allow any part to cool to a safe temperature
before cleaning. If you do need to handle a warm or hot part (e.g. grill or griddle), take extreme
care. Wear long protective mitts to avoid burns from steam or hot surfaces.
Try using any cleaner on a small area first, to ensure it does not stain.
See the pages following this chart for instructions on removing and replacing various parts of
the range for cleaning or maintenance.
To help you identify any parts, see illustrations in section ‘Introduction’ and after this cleaning
chart.
Don’ts
Do not use aerosol cleaners until the range has completely cooled. The propellant substance in
these cleaners could catch fire in the presence of heat.
Do not let soiling or grease accumulate anywhere in or on the range. This will make future
cleaning more difficult and may present a fire hazard.
Do not use any abrasive or harsh cleaners, cloths, scouring pads or steel wool. These will
scratch your range and damage its appearance.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the range.
Do not lift the black grill and griddle frames off the cooktop.
Cleaning Burner caps and brass flame spreaders
1. Check that the burner is turned OFF and allow it to cool. Lift off the burner cap and brass flame
spreader. Wash them in hot soapy water, rinse, and dry.
2. Use a stiff nylon brush or straight-ended paper clip to clear the notches of a flame spreader.
Replace the flame spreader and burner cap correctly.
