Cleaning your Gas Hob

Sometimes when a hob is not working well, it is because it needs cleaning.

Enamel parts

●Use a mild cream cleaner for example ‘Cif’. Stubborn marks can be removed with a soap filled pad.

Stainless steel surfaces

●Only use a clean cloth wrung out with warm, soapy water and dried off with a soft cloth. For stubborn marks use a specialist stainless steel cleaner.

●Do not use steam cleaners.

●Sharp implements and objects can mark the surface of stainless steel, however they do become less noticeable in time.

Cast iron parts

●Ensure the parts have fully cooled and scrape off any stubborn marks, and bits of food with a plastic, or wooden cooking implement. Rinse in warm soapy water and dry with a tea towel.

●Do not clean in a dishwasher.

●If you notice any rusting on your griddle, or pansupports, simply clean in warm soapy water, then re-season.

Burner caps and heads

The slots in the burner head where the flames burn should be cleared of deposits.

●Clean with a nylon brush, rinse and then dry thoroughly. There may be brownish coloured markings on your burners, these are carbon deposits or fat stains and can be removed using a soap filled pad.

●Do not put burners in the dishwasher or soak them. Using dishwasher powders, washing up liquids and caustic pastes can damage the burners.

●Burner caps and heads must be repositioned correctly so that they sit squarely on to the hob as shown on the the left.

●This is particularly important with stainless steel models as failure to reposition the caps correctly may result in discolouration of the stainless steel around the burners.

Painted & Plastic parts

●Only use a clean cloth wrung out in hot soapy water.

Always allow your ! appliance to cool

down, and switch off the electricity before you clean any part of it.
