20 CLEANING
Refitting the burner crowns and caps
The burner crown must be fitted correctly into the burner cup
or damage will occur during operation.
• To do this ensure that the 2 ribs on either side of the
spark plug hole are positioned into the 2 slots on the
burner cup. (see diagram below)
• The burner cap is simply positioned over the top of the
burner crown.
CLEANING THE ELECTRIC HOTPLATES
Solid hotplates
Coated “easy care” solid hotplates have a robust, corrosion
resistant surface which is temperature resistant up to 600°C.
• Clean the hotplates after they have cooled by wiping
with a damp cloth or sponge, use a small amount of
detergent if necessary.
• Stubborn soiling can be removed by soaking the
hotplate for a few minutes with warm water and a little
detergent, followed by cleaning using a plastic scourer
or soft brush.
• Any spills or marks that still remain can be burnt off
by operating the hotplate on high without a pan for
2-3 minutes. When the hotplate has cooled clean it
normally as above.
• After cleaning dry the hotplate by warming on a low
heat for approximately 30 seconds and then oil the
hotplate with a thin coating of cooking oil to prevent
rust or corrosion.
• Some discolouration of the stainless trim ring is normal
during use. A stainless steel cleaner may be used to
clean the trim ring.

WARNING
There is a risk of burns if the hotplates are hot.
Ensure the hotplates have cooled before cleaning.
Ceramic hotplates
• Remove all spilt food with the razor blade scraper
supplied while the hotplate is still warm – NOT HOT.
• If aluminium foil, plastic items or foods with a high
sugar content melt onto glass, use the razor blade
scraper to remove immediately before the hotplate has
cooled, otherwise pitting of the surface may occur.
High sugar content foods include jam, fruit, carrots,
tomatoes and peas.
• When the ceramic hotplate has cooled, wipe clean
with dishwashing detergent on a damp cloth.
NOTE: DO NOT use abrasive sponges or scourers,
oven sprays or stain removers on ceramic hotplates.
These may damage, scratch or stain the ceramic cooktop.
Any pitting, staining or scratching WILL NOT be covered
by warranty.
