COOKER FINISH

CLEANING METHOD

Vitreous Enamel

Pan supports, burner caps,
roasting dish, grill pan, oven
base, rear and roof, door inner
panels, grill and warming
compartment.

Cloth wrung out in warm soapy water. Stubborn
stains can be removed with a cream paste,
liquid cleaner or by rubbing with fine steel wool
soap pads e.g. Brillo, Ajax.
Check that the cleaning agent is approved by the
Vitreous Enamel Association.

Aluminium

Burner bodies, door handles.

Similar to paint cleaning above. Use a nylon brush to
remove any cleaning materials, water or dirt from the
hotplate burner ports. Care should be taken when
refitting the bodies over the electrodes.

Glass

Ceramic

As for enamel cleaning. Polish with a clean dry cloth or
kitchen roll.

Use a ceramic hob cleaner-conditioner whenever
cleaning is done. The cleaner-conditioner forms a
protective film on the hob and contains a mild detergent
which makes cleaning easier.
A cleaner-conditioner can be obtained either through
a local Service Centre or retailer, part number 6004.
To clean off stubborn stains the following can be used
when the surface has cooled:
1.

Cif, non-scratch cream cleaner.

2. Heavy soil can be removed from the surface by

carefully using a glass scraper.

3. Hard water stains, grease spots and any

discolouration having a metal sheen can be
removed with Solvol Autosol Super or any non
abrasive stainless steel cleaner.

After cleaning, always use the cleaner-conditioner and
finish it off by polishing with a clean, dry paper towel.
Never use abrasive chemical oven cleaners as they can
damage the surface of the hob.
The visual effect of scratches which may occur in use
can be minimised by the use of the cleaner-conditioner.
Such scratches cannot be removed but do not affect
the function of the hob in any way.
