CLEANING MATERIALS
Before
using
any
cleaning
materials
on
your
appliance, check that they are suitable and that their
use is recommended by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives
should also be avoided.
CLEANING THE BRASS PLATED HANDLES
(Where applicable)
It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water
is used for cleaning the handles.
ANY OTHER
CLEANING MATERIALS WIL DULL THE BRASS
PLATED FINISH.
CLEANING
THE
OUTSIDE
OF
THE
APPLIANCE
DO
NOT
use
abrasive
cleaning
materials,
or
scourers on the outside of the appliance as some of
the finishes are painted and damage may occur.
Regularly wipe over the control panel, splashback,
oven doors and cooker sides using a soft cloth and
liquid detergent.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF
THE
CONTROL
KNOBS
FROM
THE
PANEL AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE
AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD.
CLEANING THE SEALED HOTPLATES
AND HOTPLATE TRIMS
In
order
to
maintain
the
appearance
of
your
appliance's sealed hotplates and trims, you are
advised to use the recommended cleaning agents
daily. If you do not allow spillages to burn on they
will be much easier to clean off.
THINGS TO NOTE
The red spot in the centre of the hotplates may be
removed with some abrasive cleaning agents. This
is not a fault and does not affect the performance of
the hotplates.
FOR NORMAL SOILAGE
Wipe over the hotplates and trims using a clean
damp cloth then switch to a low or medium setting for
a few minutes to thoroughly dry.
FOR HEAVY SOILAGE
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer with a cream
cleaner e.g. ‘Cif’ or a powder cleaner e.g. ‘Ajax’ on
the hotplate and trims. Follow the circular grooved
pattern on the hotplate when cleaning.
Rinse off
cleaning agents thoroughly.
Dry as for normal
soilage.
For more stubborn marks warm the hotplate on a low
setting for 30 seconds. Clean the sealed plate with
‘Ajax’ powder cleaner, ‘Cif’ cream cleaner or a ‘Brillo’
pad. You may have to rub hard for several minutes.
Rinse off cleaning agents thoroughly with a damp
cloth. Switch to a low or medium setting for a few
minutes until the hotplate is thoroughly dry.
CLEANING THE HOTPLATE TRIMS
The stainless steel trims may become straw coloured
during use.
Using a proprietary stainless steel
cleaner, e.g. ‘Shiny Sinks’ will help maintain a bright
appearance. Alternatively a powder cleaner such as
‘Bar Keepers Friend’ may be used regularly.
CLEANING THE VITREOUS ENAMEL
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer made for non-
stick saucepans with ‘Cif’ or cream cleaner.
