Care and Cleaning

WARNING: BEFORE CLEANING, SWITCH THE

GB COOKER OFF AT THE MAINS COOKER CONTROL PANEL AND ALLOW IT TO COOL. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE OVENS ARE CLEANED AND KEPT FREE FROM FATS, OIL AND GREASE.

!Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.

!Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface and cause the glass to crack.

!The accessories can be washed like everyday crockery (even in your dishwasher).

Cleaning of the Ceramic Hob

Always clean spills immediately. If the hob is reused before cleaning, spillage will be baked on and be very difficult to remove.

Always switch the cooker OFF at the cooker control panel.

To minimise cleaning:

Always take care and avoid spills.

Always 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. Hotpoint has a Cleaner-Conditioner which can be obtained, either through a local Hotpoint Service Centre or retailer, part no.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 metallic 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 or chemical oven cleaners as they can damage the surface of the hob.

The visual effect of any scratches which may occur in use can be minimised by the use of Cleaner- Conditioner. Such scratches cannot be removed but do not affect the function of the hob in any way.

'Stay Clean' Liners

'Stay Clean' liners are covered with a special enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At higher temperatures the soiling is slowly destroyed. In most cases normal cooking at higher temperatures will permit this cleaning to take place automatically. However, if higher cooking temperatures are not used regularly then it may be necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven at maximum temperature for at least two hours, from time to time. The 'Stay Clean' liners can be washed in warm soapy water followed by rinsing in clear water. Dry well with a soft cloth.

NOTE: Do not use enzyme washing powder, harsh abrasives or chemical oven cleaners of any kind.

Oven Fittings

The oven shelves can be cleaned either in a dishwasher or by using a fine steel wool soap pad. The grill can be cleaned in warm soapy water using a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains or in a dishwasher.

They should be cleaned after each use.

Oven Interiors

To clean the oven interiors remove all the oven fittings and where applicable the 'Stay Clean' liners. All types of oven cleaners can be used, but do not allow abrasive cleaners or oven spray to come into contact with the 'Stay Clean' liners. Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains.

Oven Door Cleaning

The inner door glass panel can be removed for easy cleaning, see “Care and Cleaning”.

Cooker Exterior

The outside of the cooker should be cleaned regularly to keep it looking like new. Wipe over with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water and dry with a soft clean cloth. You can use mild non abrasive cleaners but always read the manufacturer's instructions first. Always test their suitability on a small area of the cooker not noticeable in normal use.

NOTE: DO NOT use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the surface. Wear protective gloves when cleaning any part of your cooker.
