CARE AND CLEANING ALWAYS • Read these instructions and the 'Safety and warnings' section before you start cleaning your rangetop. • Before cleaning or removing any part, make sure that everything on the range has been turned off. • Unless suggested otherwise in the chart following, allow any part to cool to a safe temperature before cleaning. If you do need to handle a warm or hot part take extreme care. Wear long protective mitts to avoid burns from steam or hot surfaces. • Try using any cleaner on a small area first, to ensure it doesn't stain. NEVER • Use aerosol cleaners until the rangetop has completely cooled. The propellant substance in these cleaners could catch fire in the presence of heat. • Let soiling or grease accumulate anywhere on the rangetop. This will make future cleaning more difficult and may present a fire hazard. • Use any abrasive or harsh cleaners, cloths, scouring pads or steel wool. These will scratch your range and damage its appearance. • Use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the range. • Lift the black grill and griddle frames off the cooktop. WHAT? Burners Area around burners Burner caps and flame spreaders HOW? IMPORTANT! Do not clean these parts. They self-clean during normal use. • Soften any stubborn stains using a hot soapy cloth before cleaning with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Wipe dry with a microfiber cloth. • For extra shine, use a suitable stainless steel cleaner. Always rub the stainless steel in the direction of the polish lines. • Always read the label to ensure your stainless steel cleaner does not contain chlorine compounds as these are corrosive and may damage the appearance of your cooktop. Ensure the burner is turned OFF and cool. Lift off the burner cap and brass flame spreader and wash in hot soapy water. Rinse and dry. Use a stiff nylon brush or straightended paper clip to clear the notches of the flame spreader. Replace the flame spreader and burner cap correctly. See 'Replacing burner parts'. Keep the notches of the flame spreaders clear. Soiling may clog these and cause ignition problems. Before replacing the burner parts, ensure they are dry. Wet burner parts may result in an irregular flame. Before lighting a burner, ensure all parts are positioned correctly. Incorrect assembly can cause dangerous irregular flames and ignition problems. 14
