IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
In Case of Fire  
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn  
the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a cooktop burner by cove-  
ring the pan completely with a well fitting lid or baking tray. If available use  
a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.  
If fire is in an oven pan, smother by closing oven door. Open doors and win-  
dows or if a hood is fitted turn it on to remove smoke and odor.  
To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage  
Before using the range make sure all the packing materials have been remo-  
ved. Always keep the area around the range free from combustible materials,  
gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.  
If the range is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken  
to prevent curtains from blowing over the burners.  
NEVER leave any items on the range cooktop. The hot air from an oven  
vent may ignite flammable items and may increase pressure in closed contai-  
ners, which may cause them to burst. Many aerosol-type spray cans are  
EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid  
their use or storage near an appliance.  
Many plastics will burn and most are damaged by heat. Keep plastic items  
away from parts of the range that may become warm or hot. Do not leave  
plastic items on the cooktop as they may burn, melt or soften if left too close  
to a vent or a lighted burner  
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with redu-  
ced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowled-  
ge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the

BEFORE DELIVERY  
Safety requirements  
BEFORE DELIVERY  
In order to be able to install your appliance as soon as it is delivered, you will have to check that  
the layout of your kitchen and your gas and electricity supplies are ready for it.  
All gas and electrical installations must comply with the standards and current regulations,  
as well as with the requirements of local gas and electricity suppliers.  
In the event of the appliance being installed by us, our technicians may ask you for a certificate  
proving that your domestic installation is compliant.  
The manufacturer shall not incur any liability for an incorrect installation, and incorrect installa-  
tions shall void the warranty. Moreover, no legal actions can be undertaken in relation to incorrect  
installations.  
1. SAFETY REQUIREMENTS  
1.1. Ventilation  
Special care should be taken to respect the regulation in force regarding ventilation. All requi-  
rements and regulations in force regarding the ventilation of rooms where gas appliances are  
installed should be respected.  
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in  
which it is installed. It is essential that the kitchen where the "La Cornue" stove will be installed  
has excellent ventilation to the outside, for vapor and combustion gases, and a fresh air inlet.  
Do not use air recycling systems.  
Ventilation exhaust devices can be vapor aspirators or hoods.  
The ventilation hood has to be built with non combustible material.  
1.2. Clearances to combustible construction  
Fig. 1 on the next page shows the minimum recommended distances and clearances from the  
range to near’by surfaces.  
You must provide adequate clearances between the range and adjacent combustible surfaces.  
These dimensions must be met for safe use of your range.  
The minimum horizontal distance from sides of appliance to the adjacent vertical combustible  
walls extending 18" (457 mm) above the top panel is 12" (305 mm).  
The maximum depth of overhead cabinets is 13" (330 mm).  
The minimum horizontal distances between overhead cabinets is not less than the nominal width  
of the appliance 36" (914 mm).

Electrical Supply  
BEFORE DELIVERY  
Fig. 1  
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage  
space located above the surface units should be avoided.  
Any element, either an extraction hood or cabinet, situated directly above the range must be made  
of non-combustible material and placed at no less than 30" (762 mm) above range.  
The recommended height is 36" (914 mm) above range.  
May be installed with zero clearance between adjacent combustible construction below the  
cooking surface and the back and sides of the appliance. We recommend a gap of 36½" (927 mm)  
or 37" (940 mm) for Canada between units to allow for moving the range.  
To be used in conjunction with a suitable ventilation hood.  
1.3. Installation  
As the oven and the hob are particularly well insulated, the appliance can be built-in without any  
need for any special precautions with regard to the surroundings. However, if the cooker is  
installed against a wall, the hottest parts (the strip between 600 and 964 mm. from the floor,  
and the surface between the cooktop and the extractor hood) must be protected with a  
stainless steel plate or ceramic tiles. La Cornue offers you a wide choice of stainless steel plates  
adapted to the size of your stove  
2. ELECTRICAL SUPPLY  
Safety:  
The range, when installed must be electrically grounded in accordance with local  
codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI  
/ NFPA 70 in the USA and the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.2, in Canada as applicable.

Check the power rating at your electric meter (maximal load) to ensure that it is suitable for your  
model, taking into account all other electrical appliances installed on the same circuit.  
The power of the CornuFé 1908 - 36" stove, does not allow for a simple plug and socket connec-  
tion; the electrical connection must be made by means of an adequate flexible cord, built-in junc-  
tion box, with terminal blocks; the box is located about 13" from the floor, on the wall behind the  
stove, on the right.  
3. GAS SUPPLY  
Use sealing compound on all pipe joints. Compound used must be resistant to the action of LP  
Gases.  
The gas supply line to the appliance must be at least the same size as the gas inlet. An easily acces-  
sible manual shutoff valve must be installed, keeping in mind the fact that on the appliance, the  
gas inlet is located:  
- On the left-hand side of the appliance, approximately 2" from the edge.  
- 13" above the floor.  
NOTE:  
Make sure that the supply line is clear of burrs and metal particles in order to avoid damage  
to the gas controls once the gas is turned on. The pipe connections can then be made  
When your CornuFé 1908 - 36" appliance is installed between kitchen cabinets, the manual shu-  
toff valve should be accessible. We recommend it be located at the rear of an adjacent cabinet.  
According to gas regulations, any opening in the wall or on the floor for gas supply of the applian-  
ce must be properly sealed as well as any circulation of air between the gas supply room and the  
kitchen.  
When all the work has been carried out on your gas supply network, ensure that no metallic burr  
can enter the supply tube of the stove and block the burners. Then make sure that all gas connec-  
tions are properly sealed.  
Refer to "Important Safety Information" section, on pages 1 - 8.  
See the chapter 2 page 26 "Gas connection" for details about the connections.

Height adjustment  
HANDLING AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
7. HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT AND POSITIONING THE COOKER  
In order to make sure that the cooktop is perfectly horizontal, especially on old flooring, we advise  
you to install your stove on a wooden or cement base, the height of which will allow you to bring  
the cooktop to a level in accordance with its environment or your own requirements.  
If the appliance is on a base, all necessary action shall be taking for the appliance not to  
fall.  
Each stove is equipped with adjustable feet that allow you to compensate for differences in the  
floor level.  
Remove the drawers, set the stove in place, screw up the legs so the stove rests on the outside legs  
and adjust the height.  
The Fig. 1 page 16 shows the minimum recommended distance from the cooker to nearby surfa-  
ces (see chapter 1.2. Clearances to combustible construction).  
Above the cooktop level a gap of 12" should be left between each side of the cooker and any adja-  
cent vertical surface. For non-combustible surfaces (such as unpainted metal or ceramic tiles) this  
can be reduced to 1" (25 mm).  
Adjacent work surfaces should be level with or below the cooktop surround not the pan supports  
(Fig. 8).  
We recommend a gap of 36 1/2" (927) mm between units to allow for moving the range.  
If a flush fit is required, fit the cooker up to the unit at one side then fit the unit the other side.  
Do not box the cooker in; it must still be possible to move the cooker in and out for cleaning and  
servicing.  
A minimum space of 30" (760 mm) is required between the top of the stove and a horizontal com-  
bustible surface.  
Any hood should be installed in accordance with the hood manufacturer’s instructions.  
For safety reasons curtains must not be fitted immediately behind the cooker.

CONNECTIONS  
2. GAS CONNECTION  
The installation of your La Cornue appliance must conform with local codes or, in the absence  
of local codes, in the USA with the "National Fuel Gas Code", ANSI Z223.1, latest edition, and,  
in Canada, with CAN/CGA - B149.1, and CAN CGA - B149.2, "Installation Code for Gas  
Burning Appliances".  
In The Commonwealth Of Massachusetts  
This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when installed within the  
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  
A "T" handle type manual gas valve must be installed in the gas supply line to this  
appliance.  
All La Cornue ranges are fully assembled and equipped for use with the type of gas shown on the  
rating plate of the appliance.  
The CornuFé 1908 - 36" stove is fitted with orifices for natural gas, pressure 4" WC.  
If the range is to be used on LP gas, a qualified LP installer must convert it. We recommend  
that the range be converted before installation. A conversion kit for Propane gas is supplied  
with the range. See the "Conversion to Propane Gas" instruction for more details.  
Prior to installation, ensure that the local distribution conditions (nature of the gas and gas  
pressure) and the adjustment of the appliance are compatible.  
The range is designed to operate at a manifold pressure of 4" of Water Column on natural gas, or  
a manifold pressure of 10" of Water Column on LP gas (Propane).  
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator must be between 41/2"  
and 10" of water column.  
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10" and 13" of water column.  
When checking for proper operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1" greater  
than the operating (manifold) pressure as given above.  
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range manifold must remain in the supply line  
regardless of whether natural or LP gas is being used.  
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the range to the gas supply line should have  
an I.D. of ½" and be 5 feet in length for ease of installation.  
The gas regulator on the appliance is set at the factory for 4" of water column pressure.  
Connect the Range to the Gas Supply  
Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until the new  
hookup has been completed. Don’t forget to relight the pilot on other gas appliances when you  
turn the gas back on.  
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the use of a CSA International certified  
flexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hard piped  
connection.

Cooktop burners  
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE  
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE  
IMPORTANT  
Please make sure your cooker is unpacked completely before use.  
Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the burners are properly placed and level. Take the  
accessory pack out of the oven. Check to be sure that no parts have come loose during shipping.  
INITIAL IGNITION  
Defuse any trapped air from the gas network, starting with each of the burners on  
the cooktop. Once this is done, the gas oven can then be ignited. However, if the safe-  
ty device for the oven is activated (red indicator ON), press the reset button above  
the red indicator to repeat the procedure.  
1. STARTING WITH THE COOKTOP BURNERS  
Before using the cooktop make sure all burners are in  
place and all the grates on the range are properly  
Fig. 9  
placed.  
The drawing by each knob indicates which burner  
that knob controls (Fig. 9).  
The gas burners on our CornuFé 1908 - 36" range  
appliances are fitted with safety thermocouples: if a  
burner shuts off for any reason, the gas supply for  
that burner is automatically stopped.  
The thermocouple should not be activated for more  
than 15 seconds; if, after this time, the burner has not  
ignited, you should stop trying to ignite, and wait at  
least one minute before trying to reignite the burner.  
All of our appliances are equipped with automatic  
gas burner ignition.  
Fig. 10  
To ignite a gas burner, press the control knob and  
turn it to the left to the "high flame" position (Fig.  
10). The burner is automatically ignited. Keep the  
knob pressed (Fig. 11) for 5 – 10 seconds (the safety  
thermocouple may take longer to react the first time).  
The sparking noise means that the ignition system is  
operating normally.  
Fig. 11  
Fig. 12  
When a cooktop burner knob is pressed in, sparks  
will be made at every burner – this is normal.  
Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around  
any burner while another burner is on. An electric  
shock could result.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE  
Cooktop burners  
· Low setting: this is achieved by rotating the knob fully to the left or to the bottom (fig. 12).  
· Shutoff: bring the knob back to its vertical position by rotating it to the right.  
In case the burner flame is accidentally turned off, close the burner control knob and do not turn  
on the burner for at least one minute.  
Igniting cooktop burners without electricity  
If there is a power failure the cooktop burners can be lit with a match.  
1. Hold a burning match 1cm from the burner head, keeping your hand as far horizontally away  
from the burner as possible.  
2. Push and turn the burner control knob to solid flame position. As soon as the burner flame  
lights move your hand away. With your other hand, keep holding the knob pressed for a few  
seconds so that the burner safety device can "sense" the heat of the flame.  
3. Turn the burner control knob to the OFF position when you have finished using it.  
Fig. 13  
Make sure flames are under the pans. For safety  
reasons, adjust the flames so that they do not extend  
beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. This  
instruction is based on safety considerations (Fig. 13).  
Fig. 14  
Pans and kettles with concave bases or down-turned  
base rims should not be used (Fig. 14).  
Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats, are  
Fig. 15  
NOT recommended. They will reduce burner  
performance and could damage the grates (Fig. 15).  
Avoid using unstable or misshapen pans that may tilt  
Fig. 16  
easily and pans with a very small base diameter e.g.  
milk pans, single egg poachers (Fig. 16).  
The minimum pan diameter recommended is 12 cm  
for the outer burners and 16 cm for the center burner.

DO NOT use matches to light the burner.  
Note:  
The red indicator (A) on the bottom right of the control panel indicates any operational defects  
related to oven ignition. If this indicator is ON, check that the gas shutoff valve is set to the open  
position and the cooker is well supplied with gas, then press the button (G) above the indicator  
light.  
Before using the oven for the first time or if it has not been used for a long period of time, you  
have to press this button several times to defuse any trapped air from the gas circuit.  
If this phenomenon persists, contact our after-sales department or your dealer.  
2.2. Grill Function  
Your oven is equipped with an electric grill controlled separately from the heating element on the  
oven floor.  
- Position the simmerstat (C) on the desired power setting.  
- After preheating (between 5 and 10 minutes depending on the temperature), set the cooking  
mode for the food to be cooked.  
- You can then place in the grill the food that requires grilling.  
The grill tray must be placed at the highest level.  
You can also use the pastry tray to brown seafood, fish and shellfish which requires strong and  
quick heat.  
Please note that this heat intensity calls for careful supervision.  
Certain areas of the range within easy reach can get very hot.  
Keep young children away from these hot surfaces.  
For this type of cooking, it is not necessary to switch on the gas burner.

2.3. Oven trays  
There are several different trays in your oven:  
1) The large tray with an enameled coating and  
the pastry tray. Thes are intended exclusively for  
pastry-making or for ingredients to be grilled  
under the electric oven grill.  
The large size of thes trays means that it can be  
used as a cooking tray itself but is generally used  
for very large pieces of meat. You should not use it  
to cook poultry or small roasts.  
Putting a sheet of aluminum foil in the tray will  
facilitate cleaning.  
1
2
3
2) The large roasting rack and two small grill  
trays allows for the following:  
- to place the dish containing the roast on the roasting rack which rests on the large tray or on two  
small grill trays which rest on the pastry tray. Therefore, by using this system one makes the most  
of the natural air convection, allowing for the air flow to travel round and under the food.  
- to place a roast directly onto the roasting rack in the large tray or onto the two small grill trays  
in the pastry tray. The roast will remain seasoned as well as remaining medium rare or rare if you  
desire.  
By using the "spit" concept, the hot air envelopes the entire piece of meat regardless of its size, for  
example a large piece of lamb or large poultry.  
3) The "shelf" tray acts as a support for all trays which are used in this oven.  
2.4 Installation of the "shelf" tray  
The sliders of the oven and the "shelf" tray are supplied with stops in order to avoid taking away  
the shelves inadvertently; these shelves can be  
removed and replaced easily.  
Setting up of the "shelf" tray  
Before using your oven in complete safety, you must  
set up correctly the shelves trays. To position the  
shelf tray at the requested height, put it above the  
lateral oven slider (stops at the back). Then push the  
tray to the very back of the oven until the stops are  
positioned behind the sliders.  
stops  
Pull the shelf tray until the back of the tray is blocked by the stops of the lateral oven sliders.  
Removing the "shelf" tray  
Push the shelf tray which is on the sliders to the back of the oven; lift the back of the tray so the  
stops are positioned above the sliders, then pull the tray towards you.

The cooking principle  
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE  
3. THE COOKING PRINCIPLE  
In the case of natural convection, the heat is generated from below the oven floor and then travels up  
along the walls of the oven and along the vault.  
This air flow creates a homogeneous atmosphere in which food is cooked and the temperature also  
stays very stable.  
This characteristic is unique and is only found in a "La Cornue" oven. The different heat levels are so  
stable that in any other oven, a roast does not cook evenly as temperatures do not remain as constant.  
When cooking in a "La Cornue" oven, supervision is not necessary.  
By keeping the door of the oven well closed during cooking, the water contained in many foods evapo-  
rates and therefore, creates a degree of humidity which provides an ideal cooking environment.  
The juices from the meat are therefore not lost and basting the roast or the poultry is unnecessary.  
There is therefore no risk of burning.  
The golden crispy outer texture of meat when cooked in a "La Cornue" is due to the caramelisation of  
the natural sugars derived from the meat and not to carbonization.  
The only real precaution we advise is not to overheat the oven and to respect the cooking times with  
precision and care according the weight and type of food cooked in the oven.  
The thermal environment of this oven has been studied and perfected to avoid dehydration of any type  
or size of food. The "La Cornue" oven is as well adapted for family home cooking usage as it is for large  
festive group cooking.  
Although surveillance is not required, one can nonetheless open the oven door; the heat acquired does  
not escape, as the mass of the oven and the air circulation maintain the set temperature.  
Always preheat your oven to the temperature required for cooking.  
4. VAULTED OVEN : ADVICE ON USE  
You will gradually discover the ideal combinations for fresh fruit - zabaglione, seafood - hollan-  
daise sauce or quenelles - Nantua sauce, etc..  
You can use heat from the grill in the same way as base heat, although it is less frequent. It is gene-  
rally used for adjusting dishes.  
For example, if the pastry of your tart or quiche is already well cooked but the inside seems to be  
raw: position the lower thermostat at a minimum temperature or even at 0 and the simmerstat at  
a medium or high power according to how quickly you wish to cook it.  
For long slow cooking, whether for pastry or terrines, only use the lower gas burner.  
By using the grill and oven elements, with practice it will become easier to understand and to  
control the various temperatures which can be achieved for even the most delicate forms of  
cooking.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE  
The cooking principle  
Of course, it can also be used for making excellent pastries, pies, quiches and vegetable dishes: the  
choice of rack level and temperature required calls for just a little more thought.  
When roasting, whether lamb, turkey, pork or large fish, place the oven rack on the lowest level  
of the oven. Cooking often exceeds 40 minutes.  
In this case, preheat to 250 °C (480 °F), for 10 to 15 minutes.  
Place the dish in the oven, then lower the thermostat to 200 °C (390 °F) or 175 °C (345 °F) for white  
meat; leave to cook for the time needed: the crust is formed, and in-depth cooking continues.  
For a Roast or for a rack of beef, lamb, small or medium sized fish, place the grill tray at the  
mid-level of your oven. Pre-heat at level 280 °C (535 °F) for fifteen minutes, then lower to level 230  
°C (450 °F) for approximately 5 to 10 minutes once the dish has been placed in the oven.  
Comply with the cooking times which are recommended in your recipe book or by your butcher.  
We recommend paring all the fat from the meat before cooking.  
If you have included a vegetable dish to accompany the meal, you can add a little butter or oil on  
top to preserve its beautiful colours. In order to grill onions or any other vegetable around a roast  
always add a bit of oil mixed with butter at the bottom of the dish before adding the vegetables.  
If you choose to slice onions into rings, it is recommended to slice everything quite fine to suit the  
required temperatures.  
We suggest you do everything in moderation:  
- too much fat and lard will create smoke and will splash grease,  
- a temperature which is too high will carbonize all foods.  
For pastries the height of the grill tray will depend on the type of cake and on the cooking time.  
The most intense heat comes from the bottom of the oven. Never place a tray or a dish on this bot-  
tom surface.  
Apple pies require a top level tray heat in order to brown the apples and heat is also required from  
below to cook the pastry. Temperature 200 °C (390 °F) on the thermostat and the middle positio-  
ning work well together.  
To cook a Tarte Tatin, which is generally cooked from the top, place the thermostat at level 175  
or 200 °C (345 - 390 °F) and this should suffice; anything higher than this will burn the pastry befo-  
re the apples have even had a chance to cook.  
For a vegetable gratin or pasta, for the most part, the cooking time is 20 to 25 minutes with a  
thermostat set at 200 °C (390 °F) (depending on the thickness of the gratin). Naturally, it is neces-  
sary for the heat to penetrate from above and below. The lower level, however, will work appro-  
priately for potatoes, pastries and the medium level will work well for fresh vegetables.  
For the gratin, position the grill tray at the highest level and insert the gratin dish.  
Position the simmerstat at maximum and keep a close eye on your dish.  
Choosing from a range of closely-related temperatures or cooking times should not be guesswork,  
but rather based on the size of the meat and your own personal taste.  
The equivalents between thermostat indications and temperatures, expressed in degrees, are pro-  
vided below as an indication only.

UPKEEP OF A CORNUFÉ 1908 - 36" COOKER  
You should clean your cooker regularly.  
Always allow the cooker to cool and switch it off before cleaning or doing any maintenance work.  
All parts of the cooker become hot when it is ON and stay hot even when the cooking is finished.  
To avoid burns always check that all knobs are in the OFF position and that the cooker has cooled  
down before cleaning.  
Take care cleaning if you use a sponge or a damp cloth to wipe a hot surface, take care not to be  
burnt by steam.  
Certain detergents can produce harmful vapours when in contact with a hot surface.  
You should wear gloves and an apron and respect the user instructions for each of the cleaning  
products.  
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooker.  
Never use paint solvents, washing soda, caustic cleaners, biological powders, bleach, chlorine  
based bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt. Do not mix different cleaning products – they may  
react together with hazardous results.  
Remember to switch on the electricity supply before re-using the cooker.  
1. FRONT PANELS  
The external parts, which are not exposed to fat splatters, only require a minimum effort to keep  
them clean and beautiful. The level of cleaning really depends on the frequency of use and the  
environmental climate. If kept in a holiday home, especially in a marine climate, it should be tho-  
roughly cleaned before your departure.  
And isn’t it nice to return to a spark-ling clean cooker.  
Due to the damp environment, the salt in the air and the acidity in the fat, attack all metals, even  
solid brass and stainless steel.  
The cleaning products should be chosen according to the surfaces to be cleaned.

UPKEEP  
Finishes  
Bright coloured enamel fronts  
Because the enamel is vitrified, you can use a window-cleaning product on a paper towel.  
As fat may splash and splatter when an oven overheats, use an "Ajax Cream" type product and a  
sponge for cleaning. Enhanced results can be obtained by using window cleaning products.  
Stainless steel front panel  
For routine cleaning, use a special stainless steel cleaning product on a piece of paper towel.  
Every three to six months, give your brushed steel front panel a thorough cleaning to remove grease.  
For this type of thorough cleaning, use a mild detergent or soft soap, thoroughly diluted in hot  
water.  
Then rinse with clean water.  
Matt enamelled coloured fronts (matt black)  
Remember that matt colours are fragile by nature.  
Matt colours are not vitrified and are therefore not protected: the use of products that are too  
powerful can leave lasting marks.  
However, we have been applying this finish for many years now, as it is extremely easy to clean  
and maintain. Simply follow our instructions.  
Clean in lukewarm water using household soap applied to a non-abrasive sponge or even better  
why not use domestic soap in gel form. Then rinse in pure water and dry carefully with a paper  
towel.  
You can also use a window cleaning product on a paper towel or a cloth.  
2. FINISHES  
Nickel or chrome finishes  
These do not require any particular cleaning. Simply use a window-cleaning product applied to  
absorbent paper or a cloth to remove any finger marks.  
Copper or brass finishes  
Use a special copper or brass cleaning product, in paste or liquid form, and a soft cloth.  
Then remove all traces with a damp sponge. By removing product deposits with water, your  
bars and brackets will stay shinier, longer.  
We recommend "Copper Cleaner" from "Spring" or "Bistrot Cuivre" from "Matfer".  
Avoid the use of anti-oxidation products, which cause black deposits to form on the appliance and  
take twice as long to clean off.

Cooktop  
UPKEEP  
3. THE COOKTOP  
As your cooker is made up of a number of different elements, we recommend applying a cleaning  
procedure adapted to each specific case.  
However, it should be noted that, once you have memorized a few "tips", the maintenance of "La  
Cornue" cooker is easier than any other, on condition that it is cleaned regularly.  
Use a paper towel or a cloth to clean your cooktop and backsplash while they are still warm becau-  
se grease or food splashes are then easy to remove and do not require any cleaning products.  
The burners  
Don’t forget that high-flame cooking can cause oil and grease to splatter on adjoining cooking ele-  
ments, including the back panel and table surround.  
In this case, clean off any warm grease or oil with a cloth, and polish up where necessary.  
Black enamel burner covers  
Clean the burner covers, using washing-up liquid and a sponge; then rinse and dry.  
In case of baked-on grease and oil or milk splatters, spray on an oven-cleaning product which does  
not contain caustic soda. Leave it for 15 to 30 minutes, then clean with water, washing-up liquid  
and a non-abrasive sponge.  
Rinse the covers and dry them thoroughly before reinstalling them.  
Important note: Always check that the gas outlet holes are not blocked.  
Grills in matt enamelled cast iron  
Grills do not usually get dirty: simply wipe them with a cloth for routine cleaning.  
From time to time, clean the grills with water and washing-up liquid. If they should turn charcoal  
grey, this does not imply any deterioration. In fact, this cast iron support has a very long service  
life.  
The stainless steel surrounds and backsplash  
This stainless steel structure should be cleaned regularly, using a standard detergent and a damp  
sponge.  
Do not rub with an abrasive product in an irregular fashion, or by using circular movements.  
A mildly abrasive sponge can also be used, respecting the polishing direction.  
An oven spray should be used to clean off any baked-on grease from the back panel. Spray on the  
product, wait 20 to 30 minutes, then simply wipe off the dissolved grease with a cloth or damp  
sponge. Nevertheless, to clean stainless steel, we recommend spraying the cleaning product direct-  
ly onto the sponge, or the use of a knife blade, covered with a cloth, to clean out the space between  
the hob and back panel.  
Remember: oven sprays are powerful products and therefore should only be applied to the  
parts we have specified. Never apply it to front panels, bars and control knobs.

UPKEEP  
Oven  
Depending on how often you use your stainless steel fittings, thorough cleaning may be necessary  
to restore them to their initial splendour. To do this, use scouring cream or special powder for  
stainless steel.  
After thoroughly removing any baked-on grease from the steel, rinse with clean water.  
4. THE OVEN  
The "La Cornue" vaulted oven principle and the quality of convection obtained, considerably  
limit oven cleaning problems. Nevertheless, oven preheating is essential to guarantee efficiency of  
use.  
The "clean enamel" system is a new way to avoid chemical reactions and carbonization.  
In fact, it is far less aggressive than the decomposition of organic matter at 500 °C (930 °F), and  
decomposition through oxidation of the catalysis self-cleaning system.  
The manufacturing process and composition of these special enamels is carried out at a tempera-  
ture of 1300 °C (2370 °F).  
The result is a perfectly smooth enameled surface, which is difficult for food to adhere to.  
Any eventual soiling or boil-over spills, occurring when cooking on the enamel surface, can be  
removed at room temperature with a damp sponge.  
We recommend wiping it down after each use, while the oven is still warm, which will prevent  
baked-on spills or splatters and smoking from occurring, when it is next preheated.  
If maintenance has not been carried out at regular intervals, it is possible to spray on an oven clea-  
ner (not containing soda) to remove the tougher stains.  
Wait 15 minutes, then wipe with a damp sponge.  
A high resistance to chemical reactions and high temperatures ensures a long service life for your  
oven walls.  
If the inside of the door has yellowed, you can rub it clean with a square scouring pad and soap  
gel, polishing in the suitable direction.
