La Cornue Château Series - Cleaning - Manual (Page 3)

Gas Lava-rock Grill:
Turn on overhead ventilation prior to cleaning; turn burner to high and scour grates with a wire
brush, which will release any debris that will be burned off. Foil-liner may be placed under the
Grill in the drip tray and this may be changed as frequently as desired. Lava-rocks may be
replaced as desired; a large bag is supplied with each range but replacements may be purchased
at any BBQ store or through La Cornue Parts – (800) 821-0244 x239.
Electric Hobs:
Scotch-Brite® pads may be used to clean the cast iron surface of the electric burners. Be sure to
rub with the grain of the metal, which will be in a circular motion.
Ovens:
Château ovens do not have a self-clean mode by design; these ovens are built to last forever and
the intense concentrated heat used in a self-clean mode will break-down the oven seal over time
and compromise the efficiency of the oven. Therefore, to clean the ovens, use a sponge and
warm soapy water to remove any splatters of food or grease. The oven may be warmed slightly
before cleaning to attempt to soften baked-on foods and grease. For baked on grease be sure to
use Dawn Power Dissolver®. (Spray and let it sit for about ten minutes.) Never use any abrasive
cleaners (such as Comet®) as these products may compromise the enamel seal.
