CARE AND CLEANING
ALWAYS NEVER
• Read these instructions and the ‘Safety and
warnings’ section before you start cleaning
your cooktop.
• Before cleaning or removing any part, make
sure that everything on the range has been
turned off.
• Unless suggested otherwise in the chart
following, allow any part to cool to a safe
temperature before cleaning. If you do need
to handle a warm or hot part 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 doesn’t stain.
• Use aerosol cleaners until the cooktop has
completely cooled. The propellant substance in
these cleaners could catch fire in the presence of
heat.
• Let soiling or grease accumulate anywhere on
the cooktop. This will make future cleaning more
difficult and may present a fire hazard.
• Use any abrasive or harsh cleaners, cloths, scouring
pads or steel wool. These will scratch your range
and damage its appearance.
• Use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the range.
• Lift the black grill and griddle frames off the
cooktop.
WHAT? HOW? IMPORTANT!
Burners Do not clean these parts. They
self-clean during normal use.
Area around burners • Soften any stubborn stains
using a hot soapy cloth before
cleaning with a solution of mild
detergent and hot water. Wipe
dry with a microfiber cloth.
• For extra shine, use a suitable
stainless steel cleaner. Always
rub the stainless steel in the
direction of the polish lines.
• Always read the label to ensure
your stainless steel cleaner does
not contain chlorine compounds
as these are corrosive and may
damage the appearance of
your cooktop.
Burner caps and
flame spreaders
Ensure the burner is turned
OFF
and cool. Lift off the burner cap
and brass flame spreader and wash
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.
Replace the flame spreader
and burner cap correctly. See
‘Replacing burner parts’.
Keep the notches of the flame
spreaders clear. Soiling may clog
these and cause ignition problems.
Before replacing the burner parts,
ensure they are dry. Wet burner parts
may result in an irregular flame.
Before lighting a burner, ensure
all parts are positioned correctly.
Incorrect assembly can cause
dangerous irregular flames and
ignition problems.
