TO REMOVE DISCOLOURATIONS OR WHITE AND SILVER MARKS
These marks sometimes give the impression of being in or underneath the hob glass. They can a most always be removed provided they have not become excessively burnt on. Follow the instructions under 'To Remove more Stubborn Marks' above.
If this is unsuccessful, make up a paste of one part water to three parts Cream of Tartar and leave on the discoloured areas overnight. 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.
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
ldamage 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 PAN, GRILL PAN GRID AND OVEN SHELVES
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can be washed in the dishwasher.
The grill pan and oven shelves 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.
