SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING.

BEFORE SWITCHING ON AGAIN, ENSURE THAT ALL

CONTROLS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION.

NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL WASHING POWDER, HARSH

ABRASIVES, SCOURING PADS, AEROSOL CLEANERS OR

OVEN CHEMICAL CLEANERS OF ANY KIND.

Clean the hob regularly and wipe up spills soon after they occur to prevent them from becoming burnt on.

CLEANING MATERIALS TO AVOID

1.Household abrasive powders, e.g. Vim.

2.Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads.

Caustic cleaners such as these will etch the surface and attack the metal frame.

3.Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface.

VITREOUS ENAMEL HOB, PAN SUPPORTS AND BURNER CAPS.

Wipe with a cloth wrung out in hot soapy water. Stubborn stains can be removed with a cream paste or liquid cleaner.

ALUMINIUM BURNER BODIES AND RINGS.

Wipe with a cloth wrung out in hot soapy water only; do not use abrasives. Use a nylon brush to remove any cleaning materials, water or dirt from the burner bodies. Re-assemble as in the diagram below.

CONTROL KNOBS.

Wipe over the knobs with a soft cloth wrung out in hot soapy water or mild non-abra- sive cleaner. Then, after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.
