5CLEANING AND CARE

Choice of burners

For your convenience there is a choice of burners:

• A small burner for special low heat and slow cooking.

• A medium burner for normal cooking and simmering.

(one on 4-burner models and two on 5-burner models).

• A large burner for fast heating and large pots and pans.

• A wok burner for very fast heating using a wok or

large pot or pan.

To conserve gas, place the pan centrally over the burner

and adjust the flame so that it does not extend past the

edge of the pan (Figure 3). Do not boil food too rapidly.

A vigorous boil will not cook food any faster, and will

waste energy.

Pots and pans

All common pots and pans: aluminium, stainless steel,

cast iron, ceramic etc., may be used on your new gas

model cooktop. Ensure that the pots or pans are steady

and have flat bases to avoid dangerous spill-over of hot

liquids and wasted energy. A wok support has been

supplied with this appliance for use when cooking with a

round-bottom wok. The support is not necessary when

cooing with a flat-bottom wok.

WARNING

CAUTION

Never use asbestos mats, wire mats or grids, aluminium

foil as it can lead to overheating, cracked enamel. The

warranty will be void if these items are used and cause a

failure. Woks should only be used on the wok burner and

wok support trivet.

WARNING

WARNING

Ensure the appliance is off and cool before cleaning.

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.

WARNING

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.

WARNING

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

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.

Ignition

Gently clean the spark plug and flame safe guard sensor

with a damp cloth to avoid lighting difficulties. Ensure the

electrode is dry before use.

Injector

Ensure the injector remains free of any foreign material.

If necessary, use a thin piece of wire to clear the orifice.
