Care and Cleaning
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.
Cleaning Materials | 1. Plastic or nylon pads, scourers, these may scratch the surface. | |
to avoid | 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. |
The Ceramic Hob | 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. | Jif, |
| 2. | Liquid Gumption Kitchen Cleanser. |
| 3. | Special Powder Cleanser. |
Important Notes 1. 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 scratches on the surface.
2.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.
| In the unlikely event of the ceramic hob surface cracking, isolate the |
| cooker by switching it off at the main switch, and contact the nearest |
| service centre. Do not continue to use the cooker until it is repaired. |
Control panel | Wipe with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth. |
Decorative Trims | It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to prevent any |
| build up of soiling. The recommended method of cleaning is to wipe |
| over the trims with a soft cloth wrung out in hot water or mild non- |
| abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner on a small area of trim |
| which is not noticeable in normal use). Then, after wiping with a cloth |
| wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth. |
