The Ovens
The smooth enamel surface or “clean email” of the La Cornue ovens resist the build up of
carbonization and is specially formulated for ease of cleaning. The interior is easily cleaned while the
oven is slightly warm.
Cast Iron Non-Coated Plaque
The non-coated plaque can be “seasoned” with food safe mineral oil to create an attractive patina that
will resist staining. The plaque changes color and darkens when heated, but the silver appearance can
be restored with light sanding.
Clean the plaque with a grey or burgundy Scotch Brite pad, going in the direction of the grain or with
a small handheld sanding machine. Remove the rings and surrounding plate prior to sanding to avoid
damage to the stainless surround. Avoid using water to clean the plaque to prevent rusting.
Enamel-Coated Plaque
The durable surface of the enamel-coated plaque is easily cleaned with a soft cloth and warm soapy
water. To preserve the finish, follow these guidelines:
Allow the simmer plate to cool before cleaning.
Never use caustic or abrasive cleansers or cleansers that contain acid.
If vinegar, lemon juice or fruit juices are accidentally spilt on the plaque, wipe it clean with warm
soapy water immediately.
Gas Burners
The brass burners will dull once they have been exposed to heat, but polishing from time-to-
time is recommended. Remove any food debris with either Dawn Power Dissolver or one of the
scouring cleansers.
Electric Burners
The Scotch Brite pads can also be used to clean the solid cast iron electric burners. Be sure to rub with
the grain of the metal.
Gas Grill
To clean the grill, turn the overhead ventilation and BBQ to high and use a wire brush to scour the
grates and release any debris and burn off. Wipe the stainless surrounds clean with a damp cloth and
change the foil liner on the drip pan. Replacement of the lava rocks is dependent on use. Replacement
lava rocks can be purchased at a hardware store or through our La Cornue parts supplier. Coast Parts
