Care and cleaning
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,
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.
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 control knobs and
handles
It is strongly recommended that only
hot soapy water be used for cleaning
the control knobs and handles. ANY
OTHER CLEANING MATERIALS
MAY DULL THE SURFACE FINISH.
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.
1. Apply a small amount of hob
cleaner in the centre of each area
to be cleaned.
2. 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.
