Cleaning the sealed hotplates and hotplate trims
In order to maintain the appearance of yo ur
appliance's sealed hotplates and trims, you
are 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
damp cloth. Switch to a low or me dium
setting for a few minutes until the hotplate is
thoroughly dry.
Cleaning the hotplate trims
The stainless steel trims may become straw
coloured during use. Using a proprietary
stainless steel cleaner, e.g. ‘Shiny Sinks’ will
help maintain a bright appearance.
Alternatively a powder cleaner such as ‘Bar
Keepers Friend’ may be used regularly.
Cleaning the shelves and grill/oven furniture
All removable parts, can be washed in the
dishwasher.
The grill pan, grill pan grid and oven shelves
may be cleaned using a soap impregnated
steel wool pad. Soaking first in hot soapy
water will make cleaning easier.
Cleaning inside the oven(s)
The sides and back of the main oven
compartment are coated with a special
Stayclean coating. They should not be
cleaned manually.
The vitreous enamel main oven base and
grill comp artment can be cleaned using
normal oven cleaners with care. Ensure that
the manufactur ers instructions are followed
and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.
Aerosol cleaners must not come
into contact with elements, th e door
seal, or any painted finishes as this
may cause damage.
