5. Cleaning Your Cooker

Isolate the electricity supply before carrying out any major cleaning. Allow the cooker to cool.

Never use paint solvents, washing soda, caustic cleaners, biological powders, bleach, chlorine based bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt. Do not mix different cleaning products – they may react together with hazardous results.

All parts of the cooker can be cleaned with hot soapy water

–but take care that no surplus water seeps into the appliance.

We have developed a range of cleaning products that give maximum performance without damaging the enamel and painted surfaces, in particular a Ceramic Hob Cleaner set with scraper. More information is available through either the Cookware Collection brochure supplied with your cooker or our website www.rangemastercookshop.co.uk.

Remember to switch the electricity supply back on and reset the clock before reusing the cooker.

Daily Care

First of all make sure that all heat indicator lights are off and that the cooking surface is cool. Apply a small dab of ceramic cleaning cream in the centre of each area to be cleaned. Dampen a clean paper towel and work the cream onto the cooking surface. As a final step, wipe the cooking surface with a clean, dry paper towel.

Cleaning Spills

For spills and boil-overs that occur while cooking, turn the unit off and wipe the area surrounding the hot zone with a clean paper towel. If a spill (other than a sugary substance) is on the hot zone, do not clean until the unit has completely cooled down, and then follow the instructions below (‘Cleaning burned-on spills’).

If you accidentally melt anything on the surface, or if you spill foods with a high sugar content (preserves, tomato sauce, fruit juice, etc.), remove the spill IMMEDIATELY with a razor scraper, while the unit is still hot.

IMPORTANT: Use an oven glove to protect your hand from potential burns.

Scrape the major spill or melted material from the cooking zone and push into a cold area. Then, turn the unit ‘OFF’ and allow it to cool before cleaning further. After the cooking surface cools down and the heat indicator lights go off, follow the ‘Daily Care’ procedure outlined above.

Cleaning Burned-on Spills

Make sure that the heat indicator lights are off and that the hob is cool. Remove the excess burned-on substance with a single-edged razor scraper. Hold the scraper at an angle of about 30° to the surface and then scrape off the burned-on matter (Fig.5-1).
