CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
5.2 Routine Cleaning
If possible, the cooktop should be wiped down after each use to prevent dirt and grease build up. Ensure all
controls are off and the appliance is cool before cleaning. To clean the exterior, wipe the control panel, knobs,
stainless steel and enamel surfaces regularly using a warm, damp, non-abrasive cloth. Mild detergents may be
safely used on all of these surfaces. When wiping stainless steel surfaces which have a brushed finish, wipe in the
same direction as the brushing. The pan supports (all models except CC and CB) easily lift off and are dishwasher
safe. The gas burner parts can be simply lifted off for cleaning. After cleaning, check that the gas holes are clear
before drying and correctly re-positioning them.
After cleaning make sure all surfaces are thoroughly rinsed and then wiped dry with a clean, soft cloth.
WARNING: Unclean surfaces, especially if allowed to build up, may in time damage or discolour the appliance and
such stains may not be removable.
5.3 Spills, Spatters and Accidents
When using the appliance, it may be soiled by food spills and spatters or foreign items such as plastics accidentally
coming into contact with warm or hot surfaces. Some foods, such as fruit juices (especially citrus juices like
lemon juice) and vinegar’s (i.e. acidic substances) or sugar or foods containing sugar can discolour or damage
enamel finishes.
The surfaces of your appliance have durable finishes which are resistant to wear and discoloration. However, to
maintain the appearance and durability of the finish any spills must be wiped off immediately. This should be
done as soon as possible and necessary precautions must be taken to avoid injury from hot surfaces. Once cool
the affected area should be thoroughly cleaned and rinsed using non-abrasive, mild cleaning detergents and
water.
