Care and Cleaning

Electric sealed

The cleaning of sealed hotplates should be done when they are cold,

hotplates

using a soap filled Brillo pad, following the grain of the hotplate. This will

(KD3E1E)

ensure that any stubborn, burnt on spillages are removed. Wipe over with

 

a damp clean cloth, making sure that all the cleaner has been removed.

 

Finally, turn on hotplate to warm for a few minutes, then smear with a

 

little cooking oil to provide a protective coating, or the restorative agent

 

Homecare Four Hob, available from our spares department or leading

 

supermarkets. The bezels will mellow with use to a burnished gold colour,

 

a soap filled Brillo pad will help to keep them bright, care should be taken

 

not to damage the vitreous enamel hob surface.

 

Note: We do not recommend the use of decorative covers over the hot

 

hotplates as these can hold condensation and cause corrosion. Accidental

 

operation with a cover in place can cause intense heat. Never place

 

saucepan lids on the hotplates, as this may cause corrosion.

Ceramic hob

To reduce the amount of cleaning always ensure that the hob and

(KD3C1E)

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,

 

following 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

 

surface easier to clean thus ensuring that years of heavy abrasive

 

cleaning do not progressively dull the surface.

Grill

Remove the grill pan and the wire grid food support, it is best to wash

 

these items immediately after use to prevent stains from being burnt on

 

when used again. Wipe out the Grill compartment, use a fine steel wool

 

soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the grill runners and the floor of

 

the compartment.

Control Panel

Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.

 

Do not use cream cleaners, oven cleaners or aerosols, scouring pads or

 

abrasive powder for cleaning the plastic knobs as damage will occur.
