26 Chef 540 Upright Cooker
caution
• Ensure the appliance is off and cool before cleaning.
Oven
•
Do not remove the oven door
• Make sure oven knobs are in the off position
• Clean immediately after use as a warm oven is easier to
clean
• Use detergent, hot water (and household ammonia/
cloudy ammonia if necessary) and a soft cloth. Dry
thoroughly.
• Remove shelves when cleaning oven
• If there is a build-up of grease, place a small oven proof
dish containing ¼ cup (62mL) household ammonia/
cloudy ammonia and ¾ cup (187mL) water in the oven.
Heat oven to 110 degrees and turn oven off when 110
degrees is reached. Leave over-night. The fumes will loosen
stubborn grease and stains. Remove bowl, wash with hot,
soapy water and dry well before closing oven door again.
Oven Shelves
• Chrome shelves: use detergent and hot water. If very dirty
use a non-abrasive nylon scourer
• Enamel dishes and tray: use detergent and hot water. If
very dirty a non-abrasive nylon scourer
• DO NOT clean oven parts with abrasive or caustic-type
cleaners.
Oven – Grill Dish and Insert
• After every use, and while still warm, sprinkle grill insert
with detergent and cover with wet paper towel as this will
loosen food particles and grease
• Wash pan and grid with hot, soapy water with a little
household ammonia/cloudy ammonia added. Rinse and
dry before replacing in position.
caution
• If the ceramic glass surface is cracked, switch off the
appliance immediately to avoid the possibility of electric
shock.
Ceramic Hotplates
• Clean with detergent and hot water and polish with a soft
cloth
• For harder to clean spills a blade scraper is supplied
• Aluminium foil, plastic and high sugar content food can
cause pitting if not removed before the hotplate has
cooled.
• Sometimes SURFACE stains appear to be ‘bubble’ marks
under the ceramic glass. These can be cleaned off with a
razor blade scraper and ceramic cleaner.
Solid Hotplates
• Solid hotplates are fitted with stainless steel trim rings,
which after initial use, change colour to light brown.
Thisis a normal characteristic of stainless steel and will not
affect the operation or performance of your hotplates
• Clean off any spillage after hot plate has cooled down
• At regular intervals, clean hotplate with a nylon scouring
pad and soapy water. Wipe clean then warm hotplate for
30 seconds to dry the surface
• Apply ‘hot plate protector’’. Set hotplate on high for
3minutes to allow coating to harden.
Gas Trivets and Burners
• Flame port blockages should be removed with a small
metal cake skewer or nylon brush.
• Clean dirty spark plugs very gently with a nylon scourer.
DO NOT use steel wool. DO NOT bend spark plug as it
may break.
• For enamelled burner skirts and trivets, 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. Harsh abrasive cleaners, powder cleaners, steel wool
or wax polishes should not be used.
• These can all be lifted off and removed for separate
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 (refer to Figure 1b
on page 4). If necessary, use a toothpick or brush to
clear ports. The outer surface of the burner caps 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 trivets or burners in the
dishwasher.
Stainless steel (Models with Stainless Steel hob)
• Simply wipe with a soft cloth using warm water and a
mild detergent and rinse with clean water. Where stainless
steel has become extremely dirty or discoloured, use a
stainless steel cleaner – but be sure to follow the brushing
lines.
