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.
Ceramic hotplates:
Clean your Ceramic hob top regularly and avoid repeated burning of encrusted contamination.
Your choice of cleaner will depend on the degree of soiling involved (see below).
●minor soiling, where the contamination has not burnt hard, can be wiped off with a clean wet cloth
●major soiling and
●hard water stains, grease spots and discolouration having a metallic sheen can be removed with ‘Easy Do Cleaner Powder’
●always condition hob after cleaning by using ‘Easy Do Conditioner’ or ‘Hob Brite’. Apply a small amount of conditioner with a clean damp cloth or paper towel. Rub vigorously. Remove excess with a clean damp cloth or paper towel. Polish with a clean cloth or paper towel before the conditioner dries.
Detergent residues must always be completely removed with a clean wet cloth, (even if the instructions for use suggest otherwise), as they can have an etching effect when reheated. Then wipe dry.
To maintain hob in good condition, we would recommend regular use of the ‘Easy Do Powder Cleanser’.
Sprinkle Powder Cleanser on a clean damp cloth or paper towel and rub vigorously for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove all residue with a clean damp cloth or paper towel. Then use conditioner to protect the hob.
For more stubborn marks, mix a small amount of the powder cleanser with ‘Jif Lemon Juice’ (from a bottle) and carefully spread over the affected area. Cover with a damp paper towel and leave for a minimum of 15 minutes. Rub vigorously. Remove excess with a clean damp cloth or paper towel before the conditioner dries. Polish with a clean cloth or paper towel.
Easy Do products are available from many electrical retailers, our Parts Department (see Key Contacts, back page) and our Spares Distributors. Homecare ‘Hob Brite’ is available from leading Supermarkets.
