Care and Cleaning
TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH AND ENSURE THE COOKER IS COLD 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.
Cleaning materials to avoid:
1.Plastic or nylon pads
2.Household abrasive powders and scourers. These may scratch the surface.
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.
ALWAYS SWITCH OFF AT THE MAINS SWITCH BEFORE CLEANING.
Electric sealed hotplates:
The cleaning of sealed hotplates should be done when they are cold, using a soap filled Brillo pad, following the grain of the hotplate. This will 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 a little cooking oil to provide a protective coating, or the restorative agent Homecare Four Hob, available from our Parts 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 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.
