Cleaning your cooker
Essential information
Before thorough cleaning isolate the electricity supply. Remember to switch on the electricity supply before use.
Never use paint solvents, washing soda, caustic cleaners, biological powders, bleach, chlorine based bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt. Don’t mix different cleaning products - they may react together with hazardous results. Recommended cleaning materials are shown in the chart below.
If you want to move your cooker for cleaning, see the section called ‘Moving your cooker’.
All parts of the cooker can be cleaned with hot soapy water - but take care that no surplus water seeps into the appliance.

*VEA is the Vitreous Enamel Association. Look for aerosols with the VEA label.
Hotplate burners
Some models have a separate trim ring, which fits on the burner head.
The burner heads and caps can be removed for cleaning. Make sure they are absolutely dry before replacing.
The Left Hand Hotplate
When refitting the burner head, make sure that the notch lines up with the electrode or hole in the base. Check that the burner head is level and that the cap is fitted centrally on the burner head.
The Wok burner
The Wok burner is a little more complicated but it also can be taken apart for cleaning.
