HINTS AND TIPS
TO REDUCE HOB SOILAGE:
•
Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and the
cooking area are clean and dry before cooking
begins.
•
Ensure saucepans are large enough to
accommodate food to avoid boil overs.
•
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.
•
Avoid the use of:
•
Household detergents and bleaches.
•
Impregnated plastic or nylon pads that are not
described as suitable for non-stick saucepans.
•
Brillo pads, Ajax pads, steel wool pads.
•
Chemical oven cleaners, e.g. aerosols and
oven pads.
•
Rust stain, bath and sink stain removers.
•
Any of the above products may cause
damage to the hob.
•
It is dangerous to mix different cleaning products.
The chemicals in them may react with each other
with hazardous results.
•
Soilage from sugar solutions must be
removed from the hob before the syrup has
set otherwise damage to the hob surface will
occur.
•
Avoid placing plastic items, foil or dishes on the
hot surface as this will cause damage to the hob.
CLEANING THE SHELVES, WIRE- WORK
RUNNERS AND GRILL/OVEN FURNITURE
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can
be washed in the dishwasher.
The grill pan, grill pan grid, oven shelves and
wirework runners may be cleaned using a soap
impregnated steel wool pad. Soaking first in hot
soapy water will make cleaning easier.
