Indesit KD3E1E - Manual (Page 25)

The cleaning of sealed hotplates should be done when they are cold,
using a soap filled Brillo pad, following the grain of the hotplate. This will
ensure that any stubborn, burnt on spillages are removed. Wipe over with
a damp clean cloth, making sure that all the cleaner has been removed.
Finally, turn on hotplate to warm for a few minutes, then smear with a
little cooking oil to provide a protective coating, or the restorative agent
Homecare Four Hob, available from our spares department or leading
supermarkets. The bezels will mellow with use to a burnished gold colour,
a soap filled Brillo pad will help to keep them bright, care should be taken
not to damage the vitreous enamel hob surface.
Note: We do not recommend the use of decorative covers over the hot
hotplates as these can hold condensation and cause corrosion. Accidental
operation with a cover in place can cause intense heat. Never place
saucepan lids on the hotplates, as this may cause corrosion.
To reduce the amount of cleaning always ensure that the hob and
cooking utensils are clean and dry before use. Regular use of cleaner
conditioner is recommended for proper care and protection of the hob
surface. Apply conditioner before using the hob for the first time. It
contains a mild cleaning agent, so that subsequent applications may
clean off soil and apply a protective film at the same time. For stubborn
stains or heavy soiling use any of the following materials, and finish off
with conditioner.
1. Cif, non-scratch scouring cream.
2. Liquid Gumption Kitchen Cleanser.
3. Special Powder Cleanser.
Powder Cleanser – Mineral deposits that are present in hard water, and
some foods, may cause ‘discolourations’ that appear in the form of grey
or brown stains. The stains sometimes appear to be in or under the glass
surface. If there are some persistent stains after using any of the other
recommended cleaning materials, powder cleanser may be applied,
following the manufacturers instructions. Do not use abrasive cleaners
or the powder cleanser on the painted metal framework.
Cleaner Conditioner – Regular use of the conditioner will make the
surface easier to clean thus ensuring that years of heavy abrasive
cleaning do not progressively dull the surface.
Remove the grill pan and the wire grid food support, it is best to wash
these items immediately after use to prevent stains from being burnt on
when used again. Wipe out the Grill compartment, use a fine steel wool
soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the grill runners and the floor of
the compartment.
Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.
Do not use cream cleaners, oven cleaners or aerosols, scouring pads or
abrasive powder for cleaning the plastic knobs as damage will occur.
