Maintenance
Caution:
Before maintenance or cleaning is carried out, the range hood should be disconnected from the main power
supply. Ensure that the range hood is switched off at the wall socket and the plug removed.
Cleaning Your Cooktop
z Allow the cooktop to cool before cleaning.
z The hotplates should be cleaned after every use to avoid build up of food.
z If a major spillage occurs, wipe clean as soon as possible with a damp cloth.
z Do not immerse in water.
z DO NOT use spray on or other cleaners as they may cause electrical damage. DO NOT use sharp utensils
to clean.
z Abrasive cleaners or sharp objects will damage the cooktop surface. You should clean it using water and a
little washing up liquid.
z Although it is easier to clean some deposits whilst the hotplates are still warm, you should take care not to
burn yourself.
After Each Use
z Wipe the appliance over with a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid.
z Dry the appliance by rubbing the surface with a clean cloth.
Stainless Steel Surface
The stainless steel surface should be cleaned with only a damp cloth or with a purpose made product or a few
drops of olive oil on a damp cloth.
Hotplates
z
Weekly cleaning of frequently used hotplates is recommended to maintain their surface finish.
z Use a small amount of concentrated household detergent and a nylon scourer to remove all baked on grime.
Wipe off with a damp cloth and dry with about 10 seconds of high temperature heat.
z Apply a hotplate protector to the cleaned hotplates such as Solid Hotplate Protector or lightly oil with
olive oil while plate is still warm.
z The chrome element rings around the hotplates will change colour over time due to the effect of the heat on
the metal. The colour changes are dependent on the temperature levels and is common to all electric
cooktops.
