Daily Cleaning
1.
The grease / spill tray(s) should be checked and emptied frequently to prevent overflow and spillage.
Remove the spill tray(s) while still warm so that the grease is in a liquid state. Empty any grease
from the trays and wash thoroughly in the same manner as any cooking utensil.
2.
Remove the burner caps and bases, the trivets and thoroughly clean the splash back, interior and
exterior surfaces of the range with hot water, a detergent solution and a soft scrubbing brush.
3.
Brush the griddle surface (optional - if fitted) with a soft bristled brush. Any carbon deposits should
be removed using a scraper tool followed by wiping with a cloth to prevent accumulation of food
deposits.
4.
Dry the Cooktop thoroughly with a dry cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth.
Weekly Cleaning
NOTE:
• If the Cooktop usage is very high, we recommend that the weekly cleaning procedure is
carried out on a more frequent basis.
• Ensure that protective gloves are worn during the cleaning process.
• DO NOT use harsh abrasive detergents, strong solvents or caustic detergents as they will
damage the Cooktop and burners and griddle plates (if fitted).
• DO NOT use water on the trivets, griddle plates and burners while they are still hot as
cracking may occur. Allow these items castings to cool and remove for cleaning.
• DO NOT clean the burners in a dishwasher.
Cooktop Cooking Area
a. Clean the Cooktop cooking area using a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent and hot water
solution.
b. Baked on deposits or discolouration may require a good quality stainless steel cleaner or stainless
steel wool. Always apply cleaner when the appliance is cold and rub in the direction of the grain.
c. It should not be necessary to remove the splash guards covering the burner manifolds for
cleaning purposes. These can be cleaned in situ.
d. Remove the grease / spill tray(s) and clean with a mild anti bacterial detergent and hot water
solution using a soft bristled brush.
Dry the grease spill tray(s) thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Griddle Plate (Steel)
NOTE: In order to prevent the forming of rust on the griddle plate, ensure that all detergent and
cleaning material has been entirely removed after each cleaning process. The appliance
should be switched on briefly to ensure the griddle plate becomes dry. Oil or grease should
be spread over the griddle surface in order to form a thin protective greasy film.
a. Remove and clean the grease / spill tray(s) frequently to prevent over spills.
b. Clean the griddle surface thoroughly with a scraper tool or a wire brush. If necessary use a
griddle stone or a scotch bright pad on the griddle surface to remove stubborn or accumulated
carbon deposits.
c. A scraper tool can be used for the removal of stubborn carbon and deposits.
d. Occasionally bleach the griddle plate with vinegar when the plate is cold.
e. Clean with hot water, a mild detergent solution and a scrubbing brush. Dry all components
thoroughly with a dry cloth.
f.
The Cooktop should be switched on briefly to ensure that the griddle plate becomes dry. A thin
smear of cooking oil should be spread over the grates in order to form a protective film.
Cleaning and Maintenance
C
AUTION
:
Always ensure that an even pressure is applied over the whole surface of the
scraper tool when using on the flat surface of the griddle, to prevent scoring of
the surface.
NEVER bang the sharp edge of the scraper tool on the flat surface of the
griddle as this will damage the griddle and invalidate the warranty.
