CLEANiNG & CARE

Enamel
Persistent stains may require rubbing with a nylon scourer or
creamed powder cleansers. Household enamel cleaners are
available, follow the manufacturer’s instructions in their use.
CAUTION
Harsh abrasive cleaners, powder cleaners,
steel wool or wax polishes should not be used.
Stainless steel
Note:
Ensure any oil is cleaned off the hob before first use,
otherwise it may cause the hob to turn a yellowish colour.
All grades of stainless steel may stain, discolour or attain
an adhering layer of grime in normal operation. To achieve
maximum surface appearance, stainless steel must be kept
clean by regularly using the following cleaning procedures,
thus ensuring good performance and long service life.
Wash with warm soapy water and rinse with clean water.
Where the stainless steel has become extremely dirty with
signs of surface discolouration, (due to periods of neglect
or misuse) use a stainless steel cleaner.
CAUTION
DO NOT use abrasive scourers or steel wool.
When removing these stains be sure to follow the polish
or brushing lines.
Trivets and burners
These can all be lifted off and removed for separate cleaning.
This appliance is fitted with single-piece burners (except
triple ring wok burner) for ease of cleaning. The burners
and trivets are removable for easy cleaning.
Note:
When refitting the burners, ensure that they are
correctly seated.
Ensure burners are thoroughly dried after cleaning or spillage.
When cleaning the burners, ensure that all the flame ports
are free of any blockage. If necessary, use a toothpick or
brush to clear ports. The outer surface of the burners have
a polished finish and extra care needs to be taken to avoid
scratching this surface during cleaning. In instances of heavy
soiling, it may be necessary to apply a non-abrasive cleaning
compound and rub with a cloth until the soiling is removed
and then finish with a soft, dry cloth.
Note:
DO NOT place burners in the dishwasher.

GENTLY clean the spark plug and flame safe guard
sensor (where fitted) with a damp cloth to avoid lighting
difficulties. Ensure the electrode is dry before use.

Ensure the injector remains free of any foreign material.
If necessary, use a thin piece of wire to clear the orifice.
