Care and Cleaning

Ceramic hotplates (C361E, C362E, C363E and C366E):

Clean your Ceramic hob top regularly and avoid repeated burning of encrusted contamination.

Your choice of cleaner will depend on the degree of soiling involved (see below).

●minor soiling, where the contamination has not burnt hard, can be wiped off with a clean wet cloth

●major soiling and strongly-adhering burnt encrustation can be quickly and easily removed with a razor-blade scraper

●hard water stains, grease spots and discoloration having a metallic sheen can be removed with ‘Easy Do Cleaner Powder’

●always condition hob after cleaning by using ‘Easy Do Conditioner’ or ‘Hob Brite’. Apply a small amount of conditioner with a clean damp cloth or paper towel. Rub vigorously. Remove excess with a clean damp cloth or paper towel. Polish with a clean cloth or paper towel before the conditioner dries.

Detergent residues must always be completely removed with a clean wet cloth, (even if the instructions for use suggest otherwise), as they can have an etching effect when reheated. Then wipe dry.

To maintain hob in good condition, we would recommend regular use of the ‘Easy Do Powder Cleanser’.

Sprinkle Powder Cleanser on a clean damp cloth or paper towel and rub vigorously for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove all residue with a clean damp cloth or paper towel. Then use conditioner to protect the hob.

For more stubborn marks, mix a small amount of the powder cleanser with ‘Cif Lemon Juice’ (from a bottle) and carefully spread over the affected area. Cover with a damp paper towel and leave for a minimum of 15 minutes. Rub vigorously. Remove excess with a clean damp cloth or paper towel before the conditioner dries. Polish with a clean cloth or paper towel.

Easy Do products are available from many electrical retailers and our Parts Department. Homecare ‘Hob Brite’ is available from leading Supermarkets.

Electric sealed hotplates (C262E):

The cleaning of sealed hotplates should be done when they are cold, using a soap filled Brillo pad, following the grain of the hotplate. This will ensure that any stubborn, burnt on spillages are removed. Wipe over with a damp clean cloth, making sure that all the cleaner has been removed. Finally, turn on hotplate to warm for a few minutes, then smear with a little cooking oil to provide a protective coating, or the restorative agent Homecare Four Hob, available from our Parts Department or leading supermarkets. The bezels will mellow with use to a burnished gold colour, a soap filled Brillo pad will help to keep them bright, care should be taken not to damage the vitreous enamel hob surface.

Note: We do not recommend the use of decorative covers over the hot hotplates 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.

Featuring a blend of advanced technologies and user-friendly designs, these cookers promise to elevate your culinary experience while maintaining efficiency and safety.

One of the key features across these models is the multi-function oven.

Safety is paramount in the Hotpoint C-series, and features such as the thermostatic temperature control and flame failure safety device are integral parts of these cookers.
