clean the appliance regularly after use. Before any maintenance work is started, the appliance should have been
left to cool and be disconnected from the gas and/or electrical supplies.
Cleaning

water. Towel dry the surface with a soft cloth.

Use a non-abrasive multi-purpose cream cleaner and a nylon scourer pad to clean
more stubborn dirt or grease.

damage the appliance.
If you clean the burner rings, ensure that the holes are not clogged.
