Care and Cleaning

Before cleaning or performing maintenance on your hob, disconnect it from the power supply. Check that all controls are in the OFF position before reconnecting.

NEVER USE:Washing powder, harch abrasive, scouring pads, aerosol cleaners or oven chemical clearners of any kind.

Cleaning materials to avoid

Household abrasive powders, eg. Vim.

Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads - Caustic cleaners such as these will etch the surface and attack the metal frame.

Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface.

The Ceramic Hob

To reduce the amount of cleaning always ensure that the hob and 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 cleaning 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, non-scratch scouring cream.

2.Liquid Gumption Kitchen Cleanser.

3.Special Powder Cleanser.

Stainless Steel

Wipe with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water followed by a wipe with a cloth wrung out in clean water and then dry with a soft clean cloth.

Powder Cleanser - Mineral deposits that are present in hard water and some foods may cause discolouration, 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 any persistent stains after using any of the other recommended cleaning materials, powder cleanser may be applied, following the manufactures instructions. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or powder cleanser on the painted metal framework. Pans with aluminium bases should be lifted rather than dragged across the hob surface. This will avoid metal rubbing off the pan onto the glass. Such marks are easily removed by the powder cleanser provided they are not subsequently baked on for long periods at high temperatures.

Cleaner Conditioner - Regular use of the conditioner will make the surface easier to clean thus ebsuring that years of heavy abrasive cleaning do not progressively dull the surface. If the hob is scratched through accident or misuse. soil that collects will appear as fine brown lines; these are not fully removable but can be made less obvious by the daily use of cleaner conditioner. Cooking performance is in no way affected by scratched on the surface.

Control Knobs

Wipe over the knobs with a soft cloth wrung out in warm soapy water or mild non-abrasive. Then, after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.

Painted Metal Surround Trim

Wipe over with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water only. DO NOT USE ABRASIVES.

Troubleshooting

Before calling service for assistance, check through the following list, there may be nothing wrong.

Nothing works.

Check to make sure that:

the mains wall switch is switched on.

If a control is on, the corresponding residual heat indicator light will come on.

Hotplates are slow to boil or will not simmer. Check to make sure that:

Your pans conform with the recommendations detailed in this book.

If, despite all of these checks, the hob does not function properly and problem persists, call Hotpoint Service (see KEY CONTACTS, back page), informing them of:

-The type of problem.

-The abbreviation used to identify the model (Mod. ...) as indicated on the warranty.
