Zanussi ZKC5020 Daily cleaning, To remove more stubborn marks, To remove burnt on foodstuff

Daily cleaning

•Use a hob-cleaning product specifically de- signed for ceramic hobs daily. If foodstuff is not allowed to burn on it will be much easier to clean off.

•Apply a small amount of hob cleaner in the centre of each area to be cleaned.

•Dampen a clean paper towel or a plastic pad designed for non-stick saucepans and rub vigorously until all marks are removed. This may take a few minutes.

•Wipe off residues of cleaner with another damp paper towel and polish dry with a soft cloth.

•If hob cleaner is unavailable, one or more of the cleaning agents below may be used temporarily:

–Cream Cleaner

–Baking Soda

To remove more stubborn marks

•Cream cleaner may be used to clean off more stubborn stains or to remove discolou- ration.

•It may be necessary to rub the marks hard for several minutes.

•Use a plastic pad designed for non-stick saucepans with cream cleaner for removal of more stubborn stains.

To remove burnt on foodstuff

•We strongly recommend the use of a Ceramic Hob Scraper (incorporating a single edge razor blade) to remove spillage on the hob, in particular sugar solutions, which if not removed can cause permanent damage.

•Make sure the ceramic glass is cool.

•Use a ceramic hob scraper with care at an angle of 30° to remove as much foodstuff as possible.

•Use hob cleaner or cream cleaner to finish off as directed above.

To remove discolourations or white and silver marks

•These marks sometimes give the impres- sion of being in or underneath the hob glass. They can almost always be removed provi- ded they have not become excessively burnt on. Follow the instructions above under ‘To remove more stubborn marks’.

•If this is unsuccessful, make up a paste of one part water to three parts Cream of Tarter and leave on the discoloured areas over- night. The marks should be easily removable the next day provided they have not been excessively burnt on. The paste should be thoroughly washed off afterwards.

To reduce marking of the hob

•Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and the cooking area is clean and dry before cooking begins.

•Ensure saucepans are large enough to ac- commodate food to avoid boil-over.

•If possible, wipe up spills and splatters as they occur, but take care to avoid steam burns.

•Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge to clean the hob. These may leave a layer of soiled detergent on the hob surface, which will burn and discolour the next time the hob is used.

Avoid the use of:

• Household detergents and bleaches.
