Tricity Bendix CSE551 installation instructions Care and Cleaning

CARE AND CLEANING

BEFORE CLEANING THE APPLIANCE, ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE APPLIANCE DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.

CLEANING MATERIALS

Before using any cleaning materials on your appliance, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer.

Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives should also be avoided. Multi-surface anti-bacterial cleaning products should not be used on the ceramic hob or on the surrounding trims.

CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB

Make sure the ceramic glass is cool before cleaning. It is important to clean the ceramic hob daily to prevent soilage being burnt on.

Take care to avoid the hob trims when cleaning the ceramic glass as they may be damaged by the cleaning agents recommended.

DAILY CLEANING

Use the recommended Hob Brite Cleaner daily. If soilage is not allowed to burn on it will be much easier to clean off.

1.Apply a small amount of Hob Brite in the centre of each area to be cleaned.

2.Dampen a clean paper towel or a plastic pad made specially for non-stick saucepans and rub vigorously until all marks are removed. This may take a few minutes.

3.Wipe off residues of cleaner with another damp paper towel and polish dry with a soft cloth.

If Hob Brite is unavailable, one or more of the cleaning agents below may be used temporarily:

a)Cif Cream Cleaner

b)Baking Soda

TO REMOVE MORE STUBBORN MARKS

1.Bar Keepers Friend may be used to clean off more stubborn stains or to remove discolourations.

It may be necessary to rub the marks hard for several minutes.

2.Use a plastic pad specially for non-stick saucepans with Bar-Keepers Friend for removal of more stubborn soilage.

TO REMOVE BURNT ON SOILAGE

We strongly recommend the use of a Ceramic Hob Scraper (incorporating a single edge razor blade) to remove spillage on the hob, in particular sugar solutions, which if not removed can cause permanent damage.

1.Make sure the ceramic glass is cool.

2.Use a ceramic hob scraper with care at an angle of 30° to remove as much soilage as possible.

3.Use Bar-Keepers Friend or Hob Brite to finish off as directed above.

TO REMOVE DISCOLOURATIONS OR WHITE AND SILVER MARKS

These marks sometimes give the impression of being in or underneath the hob glass. They can almost always be removed provided they have not become excessively burnt on. Follow the instructions above under ‘To Remove more Stubborn Marks’.

If this is unsuccessful, make up a paste of one part water to three parts Cream of Tarter and leave on the discoloured areas overnight. The marks should be easily removable the next day provided they have not been excessively burnt on. The paste should be thoroughly washed off afterwards.
