[. . . ] SIG 459 Owners handbook and Installation Instructions Introduction SIG 459 Introduction This gas cooker has been designed and manufactured to all the necessary British Standards. The cooker complies with European Council Directive 90/396/EEC. It is important that you understand how to use and care for the cooker properly before you use it for the first time. We have written this booklet with your safety in mind. [. . . ] But be careful as parts of the cooker will be hot. Do not use any polishes, caustic cleaners, abrasives, washing soda or soap except those recommended. Please note: If we recommend you use hot soapy water we mean hot water with washing up liquid in it and not any other cleaning product. If you own a dishwasher please read the operating instructions for the machine before you wash any part of your cooker in it. Clean your cooker regularly using a cloth that has been wrung out in hot soapy water. Rinse and polish it dry using a soft cloth. When you remove parts of your cooker for cleaning do not plunge them into water whilst they are very hot as this may damage the finish of the parts. Cleaning the brass plated handles and control knobs (Where applicable) Do not remove the control knobs from the cooker as damage may occur. It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water and a soft cloth is used for cleaning the handles and control knobs. ANY OTHER CLEANING MATERIALS WILL DULL THE BRASS PLATED FINISH. Care should be taken when cleaning, to ensure that all cleaning products are wiped from the brass control knobs immediately. The hotplate Clean the hotplate top using a mild abrasive such as 'Jif'. Take care not to damage the spark electrodes. If the spark electrodes are damaged the burners will not light. You can remove the pan supports, burner caps and burner crowns to clean them. Again take care not to damage the spark electrodes. If any food spills during cooking you can place the pan on another burner to finish cooking. Then you can remove the dirty parts and clean them before the spill 'burns on'. 28 You can wash the removable parts in very hot soapy water. Make sure that the electrode and the hole and slots in the crown are not blocked with food or cleaning materials. Clean the burner crowns by soaking them in very hot soapy water. You can remove any stubborn stains by scouring with a soap filled pad such as 'Brillo'. If you look after the burner crowns in this way they will stay reasonably clean. However the surface will dull with time. [. . . ] Turn the oven thermostat knob to Mk 9 and press the ignition button. As soon as the burner is alight the button can be released. There should now be a low gas rate to the burner, which is the F. S. D. valve which allows the main gas supply to the oven burner. [. . . ]
