General

It is important to clean the product regularly as a build up of fat can af- fect its performance or damage it and may invalidate your guarantee.

Always switch off your appliance and allow it to cool down before you clean any part of it.

Do not use undiluted bleaches, products containing chlorides, wire wool or abrasive cleaners on alu- minium, stainless steel, or plastic/ painted parts as they can damage the appliance. Nylon pads can also be unsuitable.

Take extra care when cleaning over symbols on fascia panels. Excessive cleaning can lead to the symbols fading.

If your product is fitted with stainless steel cladded stips. You may notice a small white residue on the outer edges, this can be removed with a non abrasive wipe.

Painted & Plastic parts

Only use a clean cloth wrung out in hot soapy water.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, wire or nylon cleaning pads on these parts.

Stainless steel & Aluminium surfaces

Only use a clean cloth wrung out in hot soapy water, and dry with a soft cloth.

Stubborn marks can be removed us- ing a stainless steel cleaner. Supplies can be purchased from the Customer Care Centre.

Sharp objects can mark the surface of stainless steel, but will become less noticeable with time.

Wipe any spillage immediately, taking care to avoid burning your hands

Some foods are corrosive eg; vinegar,

fruit juices and especially salt - they can mark or damage the metal if they are left on the surface.

Baby oil can be used to restore stain- less steel finishes - but only use a few drops. Don’t use cooking oils as they can contain salts, which will damage the metal.

Do not use steam cleaners.

Enamel surfaces & parts

Clean with warm, soapy water and a clean cloth.

If larger splashes of fat do not readily disappear, you can use a mild cream cleaner to remove them. More stub- born marks can be removed using a soap filled pad.

Rinse well and dry with a soft clean towel or cloth.
