Care and cleaning
WARNING!
Before cleaning always allow the appliance
to cool down before switching off at the
electricity supply.
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 and scourers should also be
avoided. Multi-surface anti-bacterial cleaning
products should not be used on the ceramic
hob or on the surrounding trims.
Cleaning the outside of the
appliance
•
Do not use abrasive cleaning materials e.g.
abrasive cream cleaners, wire wool pads or
scourers on painted or printed finishes as
damage may occur. Regularly wipe over the
control panel, control knobs, handles, doors
and appliance sides using a soft cloth and hot
soapy water. To prevent streaking, finish with
a soft cloth.
•
Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive
and should be avoided as they may dull the
surface finish. Any spillage on the
stainless steel finish must be wiped off
immediately.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to remove any of the control
knobs from the appliance as this may cause
damage and is a safety hazard.
Cleaning the ceramic hob
•
Make sure the ceramic glass is cool before
cleaning. It is important to clean the ceramic
hob daily to prevent foodstuff being burnt on.
•
Take care to avoid the hob trims when
cleaning the ceramic glass as they may be
damaged by the cleaning agents.
Daily cleaning
•
Use a hob-cleaning product specifically
designed for ceramic hobs daily. If foodstuff
is not allowed to burn on it will be much
easier to clean off.
•
Apply a small amount of hob cleaner in the
centre of each area to be cleaned.
•
Dampen a clean paper towel or a plastic pad
designed for non-stick saucepans and rub
vigorously until all marks are removed. This
may take a few minutes.
•
Wipe off residues of cleaner with another
damp paper towel and polish dry with a soft
cloth.
•
If hob cleaner is unavailable, one or more of
the cleaning agents below may be used
temporarily:
•
Cream Cleaner
•
Baking Soda
To remove more stubborn
marks
•
Cream cleaner may be used to clean off
more stubborn stains or to remove
discolouration.
•
It may be necessary to rub the marks hard
for several minutes.
•
Use a plastic pad designed for non-stick
saucepans with cream cleaner for removal of
more stubborn stains.
