3. Cleaning Your Hob

DocNo.042-0001 - Cleaning - BI hob ceramic

Essential information

Allow the hob to cool and isolate the electricity supply before carrying out any thorough cleaning.

Never use paint solvents, washing soda, caustic cleaners, biological powders, bleach, chlorine based bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt. Do not mix diﬀerent cleaning products

– they may react together with hazardous results.

All parts of the hob can be cleaned with hot soapy water

– but take care that no surplus water seeps into the appliance.

Remember to switch on the electricity supply before re- using the hob.

We have developed a range of cleaning products that give maximum performance without damaging the hob surface, in particular a Ceramic Hob Cleaner set with scraper. More information is available in the Cookware Collection brochure supplied with your hob and on our website, www. rangemaster.co.uk.

Regular cleaning is recommended. For easier cleaning, wipe away any spillages immediately.

Daily care

First of all, make sure that all residual heat indicators are oﬀ and that the cooking surface is cool. Apply a small dab of ceramic cleaning cream in the centre of each area to be cleaned. Dampen a clean paper towel and work the cream onto the cooking surface. As a ﬁnal step, wipe the cooking surface with a clean, dry paper towel.

Cleaning spills

For spills and boil-overs that occur while cooking, turn oﬀ the unit and wipe the area surrounding the hot zone with a clean paper towel. If a spill (other than a sugary substance) is on the hot zone, do not clean until the unit has completely cooled down and then follow the instructions below, ‘Cleaning burned-on spills’.

If you accidentally melt anything on the surface, or if you spill foods with a high sugar content (preserves, tomato sauce, fruit juice, etc.), remove the spill IMMEDIATELY with a razor scraper, while the unit is still hot.

IMPORTANT: Use an oven glove to protect your hand from potential burns.

Scrape major spills or melted material from the cooking zone and push into a cold area. Then turn the unit ‘OFF’ and allow it to cool before cleaning further. After the cooking surface cools down and the residual heat indicator lights go oﬀ, follow the ‘Daily care’ procedure outlined above.

Cleaning burned-on spills

Make sure that the residual heat indicators are oﬀ and that the hob is cool. Remove the excess burned-on substance with a single-edged razor scraper. Hold the scraper at an angle of about 30° to the surface and then scrape oﬀ the burned-on matter (Fig.3-1).

Once you have removed as much as possible with the scraper, follow the ‘Daily care’ procedure outlined above.

To remove metal rub-off

Sliding pans on the hob – especially aluminium or copper pans – can leave marks on the surface. These marks often appear like scratches but can easily be removed using the procedure described previously for ‘Cleaning spills’. If the rub-oﬀ marks are especially stubborn, use a cleaning cream together with the razor scraper, as described in ‘Cleaning burned-on spills’.
