Care and Cleaning
35
TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH BEFORE CLEANING.
BEFORE SWITCHING ON AGAIN, ENSURE THAT ALL
CONTROLS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION.
NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL WASHING POWDER, HARSH ABRA-
SIVES, SCOURING PADS, AEROSOL CLEANERS OR OVEN
CHEMICAL CLEANERS OF ANY KIND.
Clean with a cloth wrung out in soapy water. Stubborn stains can be
removed with a cream, paste or liquid cleaner, or by gently rubbing
with liberally soaped, very fine steel wool pads. Check that the clean-
ing agent used is approved by the Vitreous Enamel Development
Council.
We do not recommend the use of decorative covers over the hot hot-
plates as these can hold condensation and cause corrosion.
Accidental operation with a cover in place can cause intense heat.
Never place saucepan lids on the hotplates, as this may cause
corrosion.
When cooking food which contains sugar (most food) or syrup, use a
utensil which is large enough to prevent boil over or spillage. Sugar
spillage will permanently damage the hob and therefore should be
cleaned off with care immediately. If sugar spillage has occurred,
remove it whilst it is still hot. This will avoid any damage. NEVER LET
IT COOL BEFORE REMOVING.
Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a dry
cloth. Do not use cream cleaners, oven cleaners or aerosols, scouring
pads or abrasive powder for cleaning the plastic knobs as damage will
occur.
Remove the grill pan and the wire grid food support, it is best to wash
these items immediately after use to prevent stains from being burnt on
when used again. Wipe out the grill compartment, use a fine steel wool
soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod shelf, grill deflector
plate and the floor of the compartment.
Wipe over the door outer panel with a cloth wrung out in hot soapy
water, then after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a
soft clean cloth.
Take care during cleaning not to damage or distort the Door Seal. Do
not lift the Door Seal from the Oven Front Frame, if necessary remove
the seal by carefully unhooking the corner clips.
