Miele KM3475G Disassembly

[GrahamW]

Can anyone advise how to disassemble a Miele KM 3475 G gas cooktop? I have the Technical Information for Masterchef cooktops manual but there are no instructions for disassembly. I'd like to take the ignitors out and clean them all.

Symptoms are that the stove is difficult to light (across all elements) and that the top left burner turns itself off once lit after about 5-6 seconds. If a good cleaning doesn't fix it I'll order a new ignition transformer and a new thermocouple for the one burner. Happy to photograph and upload the disassembly as I've done in the past.

Thanks.

Hmmm... no replies yet. No matter, I'm going to take all the screws out of the top on Monday and see what I can take apart

Thanks LI-NY Tech. Looks pretty simple to change the parts.
