Cleaning materials to avoid

Ceramic hob

TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH BEFORE CLEANING.

BEFORE SWITCHING ON AGAIN, ENSURE THAT ALL CONTROLS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION.

NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL WASHING POWDER, HARSH ABRASIVES, SCOURING PADS, AEROSOL CLEANERS OR OVEN CHEMICAL CLEANERS OF ANY KIND UNLESS

SPECIFIED BELOW.

1.Plastic or nylon pads / scourers, these may scratch the surface.

2.Household abrasive powders.

3.Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads.

Caustic cleaners such as these will etch the surface and attack the metal frame.

4.Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface.

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 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.

Powder Cleanser – Mineral deposits that are present in hard water, and some foods, may cause ‘discolourations’ 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 some persistent stains after using any of the other recommended cleaning materials, powder cleanser may be applied, fol- lowing the manufacturers instructions. Do not use abrasive cleaners or the powder cleanser on the painted metal framework.

Cleaner Conditioner – Regular use of the conditioner will make the sur- face easier to clean thus ensuring that years of heavy abrasive cleaning do not progressively dull the surface.
