| CHEMICAL CLEANERS OF ANY KIND UNLESS |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| SPECIFIED BELOW. |
Cleaning materials | 1. Plastic or nylon pads / scourers, these may scratch the surface. | |||
to avoid | 2. Household abrasive powders. | |||
|
|
|
| 3. Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads. |
|
|
|
| Caustic cleaners such as these will etch the surface and attack the |
|
|
|
| metal frame. |
|
|
|
| 4. Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface. |
Electric sealed | The cleaning of sealed hotplates should be done when they are cold, | |||
hotplates | using a soap filled Brillo pad, following the grain of the hotplate. This will | |||
(X153E and X253E) | 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 Credacare Spares 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. |
Ceramic hob | To reduce the amount of cleaning always ensure that the hob and | |||
(X156E) | cooking utensils are clean and dry before use. Regular use of cleaner | |||
|
|
|
| conditioner is recommended for proper care and protection of the hob |
|
|
|
| surface. Apply conditioner before using the hob for the first time. It |
|
|
|
| contains a mild cleaning agent, so that subsequent applications may |
|
|
|
| clean off soil and apply a protective film at the same time. For stubborn |
|
|
|
| stains or heavy soiling use any of the following materials, and finish off |
|
|
|
| with conditioner. |
|
|
|
| 1. Cif, |
|
|
|
| 2. Liquid Gumption Kitchen Cleanser. |
|
|
|
| 3. Special Powder Cleanser. |
|
|
|
| Powder Cleanser – Mineral deposits that are present in hard water, and |
|
|
|
| some foods, may cause ‘discolourations’ that appear in the form of grey |
|
|
|
| or brown stains. The stains sometimes appear to be in or under the glass |
|
|
|
| surface. If there are some persistent stains after using any of the other |
|
|
|
| recommended cleaning materials, powder cleanser may be applied, |
|
|
|
| following the manufacturers instructions. Do not use abrasive cleaners |
|
|
|
| or the powder cleanser on the painted metal framework. |
|
|
|
| Cleaner Conditioner – Regular use of the conditioner will make the |
|
|
|
| surface easier to clean thus ensuring that years of heavy abrasive |
|
|
|
| cleaning do not progressively dull the surface. |
