Cleaning your range
Essential information
Before thorough cleaning isolate the electricity
supply. Remember to switch on the electricity
supply before use.
Never use paint solvents, caustic
cleaners, biological powders, bleach,
chlorine based bleach cleaners, coarse
abrasives or salt. Don’t mix different
cleaning products - they may react
together with hazardous results.
Recommended cleaning materials are
shown in the chart below.
Cleaning the Range - Daily care
Cleaning the range is not a welcomed chore,
but it has to be done to maintain effi ciency and
appearance. Remember it is better to wipe up
any spills as they occur, this will prevent them
burning on and becoming more diffi cult to
remove later.
MAKE SURE THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION
AND VENTILATION AIR TO THE RANGE IS
UNOBSTRUCTED -FOR EXAMPLE BY BUILD
OF FATS OR GREASE.
On Natural Gas the burners fl ames should be
a blueish color with, at most, a slight yellowish
fringe.
On Propane gas the fl ames may be “softer”.
The cooktop burner fl ames may have a slight
yellowish tip.
If the fl ame burns with a long white tip you
should call for service.
Cleaning for spills
For spills and boil-overs that occur while
cooking, as soon as possible turn the burner off
and allow to cool. Do not clean until the area is
completely cooled down. Wipe up spills as soon
as possible.
Do not allow surplus water to seep into the
range.
Cooktop burners
Some models have a separate trim ring, which
fi ts on the burner head.
The burner heads and caps can be removed
for cleaning. Make sure they are absolutely dry
before replacing.
The central cooktop
When refi tting the burner head, make sure that
the notch lines up with the electrode or hole in
the base. Check that the burner head is level
and that the cap is fi tted centrally on the burner
head.
