CARE AND CLEANING
HOW?
1 Wipe with a damp cloth using a
solution of mild detergent and hot
water.
2 Dry thoroughly with microfiber
cloth.
If wished, the knobs can be removed
for cleaning. Before removing a
knob, make sure that it is set to OFF,
then pull it straight towards you.
Remove only one knob at a time,
and make sure that you refit it on its
shaft completely and correctly after
cleaning.
1 Check that the burner is turned OFF
and allow it to cool.
2 Lift off the burner cap and brass
flame spreader.
3 Wash them in hot soapy water, rinse,
and dry.
Use a stiff nylon brush or straight-
●
●
ended paper clip to clear the
notches of a flame spreader.
4 Replace the flame spreader and
burner cap correctly. See 'Replacing
the burner parts'.
1 Check that the burner is turned OFF.
2 Clean the ignitor with a small brush
(e.g. old toothbrush) or cotton swab
that has been dipped into rubbing
alcohol.
IMPORTANT!
Do not use stainless
●
●
steel cleaner on these
parts, as doing so may
damage their coating.
The knobs are not
●
●
interchangeable: if
you remove them for
cleaning, do so one at
a time. This is to ensure
that you replace each
knob exactly where you
removed it from.
Keep the notches of
●
●
the flame spreaders
clear. Soiling may clog
these and cause ignition
problems.
Before replacing the
●
●
burner parts, check that
they are dry. Wet burner
parts may result in an
irregular flame.
Before lighting a burner
●
●
you have reassembled,
check that all of its parts
are positioned correctly.
Incorrect assembly
can cause dangerous
irregular flames and
ignition problems.
The ignitors must be kept
clean and dry to work
correctly. Dirty or wet
ignitors could cause
constant clicking and
sparking, even if a flame is
present.
