HINTS AND TIPS
TO REDUCE HOB SOILAGE:
Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and the cooking area are clean and dry before cooking begins.
Ensure saucepans are large enough to accommodate food to avoid boil overs.
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
lthe next time the hob is used.
Avoid the use of:
Household detergents and bleaches.
Impregnated plastic or nylon pads that are not described as suitable for
Brillo pads, Ajax pads, steel wool pads.
Chemical oven cleaners, e.g. aerosols and
loven pads.
Rust stain, bath and sink stain removers.
Any of the above products may cause damage to the hob.
It is dangerous to mix different cleaning products. The chemicals in them may react with each other with hazardous results.
SOILAGE FROM SUGAR SOLUTIONS MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE HOB BEFORE THE SYRUP HAS SET OTHERWISE DAMAGE TO
lTHE HOB SURFACE WILL OCCUR.
Avoid placing plastic items, aluminium foil or dishes on the hot surface as this will cause damage to the hob.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE COOKER
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials or scourers on the outside of the cooker as some of the finishes are painted and damage may occur. Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors and cooker sides using a soft cloth and liquid detergent.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE PANEL AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD.
CLEANING THE GRILL DEFLECTOR, MEAT TIN, GRILL PAN, GRILL PAN GRID AND OVEN SHELVES
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can be washed in the dishwasher.
The grill pan, meat tin, trivet, oven shelves and grill deflector may be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad. The grill pan grid should be cleaned using hot soapy water. Soaking first in soapy water will make cleaning easier.
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND GRILL COMPARTMENTS
The sides and back of the main oven compartment are coated with Stayclean enamel surfaces.
The Stayclean surfaces inside the main oven should not be cleaned manually. See Page 29 'Care of Stayclean Surfaces'.
