Care and Cleaning

BEFORE CLEANING THE APPLIANCE, ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE APPLIANCE DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING OFF AT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY

CLEANING MATERIALS

Before using any cleaning materials on your appliance, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer.

Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives should also be avoided. Multi-surface anti-bacterial cleaning products should not be used on the ceramic hob or on the surrounding trims.

CLEANING THE BRASS OR CHROME PLATED HANDLES

(WHERE APPLICABLE)

It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water is used for cleaning the handles. THE USE OF ANY OTHER CLEANING MATERIALS MAY DULL THE BRASS OR CHROME PLATED FINISH.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE

DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials e.g. Hob Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed finishes as damage may occur. Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors and appliance sides using a soft cloth and liquid detergent.

To prevent streaking on stainless steel models finish with a soft cloth. Any spillage on the stainless steel finish must be wiped off immediately.

Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and should be avoided as they may dull the surface finish.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE APPLIANCE AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB

Make sure the ceramic glass is cool before cleaning. It is important to clean the ceramic hob daily to prevent soilage being burnt on.

Take care to avoid the hob trims when cleaning the ceramic glass as they may be damaged by the cleaning agents recommended.

DAILY CLEANING

Use the recommended Hob Brite Cleaner daily. If soilage is not allowed to burn on it will be much easier to clean off.

1.Apply a small amount of Hob Brite in the centre of each area to be cleaned.

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

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

If Hob Brite is unavailable, one or more of the cleaning agents below may be used temporarily:

a)Cif Cream Cleaner

b)Baking Soda

TO REMOVE MORE STUBBORN MARKS

1.Bar Keepers Friend may be used to clean off more stubborn stains or to remove discolourations.

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