BEFORE CLEANING ALWAYS ALLOW
THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE
APPLIANCE DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING
OFF AT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
CLEANING MATERIALS
Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker,
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. Multi-surface anti bacterial
products should not be used on the ceramic hob or
on the surrounding trims.
CLEANING THE VITREOUS ENAMEL
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer made for non-
stick saucepans with 'Jif' or 'Flash' cream cleaner.
AFTER CLEANING
To maintain the appearance of the hotplates
occasionally apply a little salt free vegetable oil or
commercial restorative agent e.g. '4 Hob' or use a
'Minky' Hotplate Cleaning Cloth.
To apply vegetable oil, first heat the hotplate on a
medium setting for 30 seconds then turn OFF. Pour
a very small amount of oil onto kitchen paper, apply
the paper to the hotplate and wipe off any excess oil.
Heat the hotplate on a medium setting for 1 minute.
To apply restorative agent, apply a thin coating
of '4 Hob' or use a Minky cloth following the
manufacturers instructions.
CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB
Make sure the ceramic glass is cool before cleaning.
It is important to clean the ceramic hob daily to
prevent soilage being burnt on.
Take care to avoid the hob trims when cleaning the
ceramic glass as they may be damaged by the
cleaning agents recommended.
DAILY CLEANING
Use the recommended Hob Brite Cleaner daily. If
soilage is not allowed to burn on it will be much
easier to clean off.
1. Apply a small amount of Hob Brite in the centre
of each area to be cleaned.
2. Dampen a clean paper towel or a plastic pad
made specially for non-stick saucepans and rub
vigorously until all marks are removed. This may
take a few minutes.
3. Wipe off residues of cleaner with another damp
paper towel and polish dry with a soft cloth.
If Hob Brite is unavailable, one or more of the
cleaning agents below may be used temporarily:
a) Flash Cream Cleaner
b) Jif Cream Cleaner
c) Baking Soda
TO REMOVE MORE STUBBORN MARKS
1. Bar-Keepers Friend may be used to clean off
more stubborn stains or to remove
discolourations. It may be necessary to rub the
marks hard for several minutes.
2. Use the scraper supplied with the cooker with
care at an angle of 45° to the hob to remove
more stubborn marks. Then apply Hob Brite to
clean off any remaining soilage.
