cleaning process.
DO NOT use harsh abrasive detergents, strong
solvents or caustic detergents as they will
damage the cooktop and burners and griddle
plates (if fitted).
DO NOT use water on the trivets, griddle plates
and burners while they are still hot as cracking
may occur. Allow these items castings to cool
and remove for cleaning.
DO NOT clean the burners in a dishwasher.
Part 5 Cleaning and Maintenance
General
General
Clean the Cooktop regularly. A clean Cooktop
looks better, will last longer and will perform better.
Carbonised grease on the surface or between the
trivets, griddle plates will hinder the transfer of heat
from the cooking surface to the food. This will result
in loss of cooking efficiency.
NOTE:
NEVER use a ribbed scraper blade on the flat
surfaced griddle plate.
DO NOT use water on the trivets, burners and griddle
plates while these items are still hot as warping and
cracking may occur. Allow these items to cool
down and then remove for cleaning. The entire
trivets, griddle plates and burner caps can be
dismantled for cleaning.
NOTE:
DO NOT use abrasive detergents, strong solvents
or caustic detergents as they could corrode or
damage the Cooktop.
In order to prevent the forming of rust on the
trivets, griddle plate (If fitted) and burners, ensure
that any detergent or cleaning material has been
completely removed after each cleaning. The
appliance should be switched 'On' briefly to
ensure that the griddle plates become dry. Oil or
grease should be spread over the griddle surface
in order to form a thin protective greasy film.
To keep your Cooktop clean and operating at peak
efficiency, follow the procedures shown:-
