Cleaning your cooker
Essential information
Before thorough cleaning isolate the electricity supply. Remember to switch on the electricity supply and reset the clock before using the cooker.
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.
Do not use a steam cleaner on your cooker.
Recommended cleaning materials are shown in the ‘Cleaning Table’ at the end of this section.
All parts of the cooker can be cleaned with hot soapy water - but take care that no surplus water seeps into the appliance.
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 single ring burners
The Wok burner
The Wok burner is a little more complicated but it also can be taken apart for cleaning.

EWok burner base
When reassembling the Wok burner, turn over the large base ring and find the ‘D’ shaped area.
A cap, B head, C notch, D electrode, E base
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.
Turn the head until the ‘D’ matches the one on the burner base. Turn the head over and place it on the burner base.
