BEFORE CLEANING THE APPLI ANCE,
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 t heir
use is recommended by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasi ves
should also be avoided.
CLEANING THE BRASS PLATED
HANDLES
(WHERE APPLICABLE)
It is strongly recommended that only soapy water is
used for cleaning the handles. ANY OTHER
CLEANING MATERIALS WILL DULL THE BRASS
PLATED FINISH.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
APPLIANCE
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials, or
scourers on the outside of the appliance as some of
the finishes are painted and damage may occur.
Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors
and cooker sides using a soft cloth and liquid
detergent.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF
THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE
PANEL AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE
AND IS A SAF ETY HAZARD.
CLEANING THE SEALED HOTPLATES
AND HOTPLATE TRIMS
In order to maintain the appearance of your
appliance's sealed hotplates and trims, you ar e
advised to use the recommended cleaning agents
daily. If you do not allow spillages to burn on they
will be much easier to clean off.
THINGS TO NOTE
The red spot in the centre of the hotplates may be
removed with some abrasive cleaning agents. This is
not a fault and does not affect the performance of the
hotplates.
FOR NORMAL SOILAGE
Wipe over the hotplates and trims using a clean
damp cloth then switch to a low or medium setting for
a few minutes to thoroughly dry.
FOR HEAVY SOILAGE
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer with a cream
cleaner e.g. ‘Cif’ or a powder cleaner e.g. ‘Ajax ’ on
the hotplate and trims. Follow the circular grooved
pattern on the hotplate when cleaning. Rinse off
cleaning agents thoroughly. Dry as for normal
soilage.
For more stubborn marks warm the hotplate on a low
setting for 30 seconds. Clean the sealed plate with
‘Ajax’ powder cleaner, ‘Cif’ or cream cleaner or a
‘Brillo’ pad. You may have to rub hard for several
minutes.
Rinse off cleaning agents thoroughly with a dam p
cloth. Switch to a low or medium setting for a few
minutes until the hotplate is thoroughly dry.
CLEANING THE HOTPLATE TRIMS
The stainless steel trims may become s traw coloured
during use. Using a proprietary stainless steel
cleaner, e.g. ‘Shiny Sinks’ will help maintain a br ight
appearance. Alternatively a powder cleaner such as
‘Bar Keepers Friend’ may be used regularly.
CLEANING THE VITREOUS ENAMEL
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer made for non-
stick saucepans with ‘Cif’ or cream cleaner.
