electrolux care and cleaning
3. 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:
a. Cream Cleaner
b. Baking Soda
To remove more stubborn marks
1. 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.
2. Use a plastic pad designed for
non-stick saucepans with cream
cleaner for removal of more
stubborn stains.
To remove burnt on foodstuff
We strongly recommend the use of a
Ceramic Hob Scraper (incorporating a
single edge razor blade) to remove
spillage on the hob, in particular sugar
solutions, which if not removed can
cause permanent damage.
1. Make sure the ceramic glass is
cool.
2. Use a ceramic hob scraper with
care at an angle of 30° to remove
as much foodstuff as possible.
Use hob cleaner or cream cleaner to
finish off as directed above.
To remove discolourations or white
and silver marks
These marks sometimes give the
impression of being in or underneath
the hob glass. They can almost always
be removed provided they have not
become excessively burnt on. Follow
the instructions above under ‘To
remove more stubborn marks’.
If this is unsuccessful, make up a
paste of one part water to three parts
Cream of Tarter and leave on the
discoloured areas overnight. The
marks should be easily removable the
next day provided they have not been
excessively burnt on. The paste should
be thoroughly washed off afterwards.
To reduce marking of the hob
• Make sure the bottom of the
saucepan and the cooking area is
clean and dry before cooking
begins.
• Ensure saucepans are large
enough to accommodate food to
avoid boil-over.
• If possible, wipe up spills and
splatters as they occur, but take
care to avoid steam burns.
• Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge
to clean the hob. These may leave
a layer of soiled detergent on the
hob surface, which will burn and
discolour the next time the hob is
used.
