CARE AND CLEANING
ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AT THE MAIN WALL SWITCH AND ALLOW THE COOKER TO COOL BEFORE CLEANING
CLEANING MATERIALS
Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker, 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.
CLEANING THE SEALED HOTPLATES AND HOTPLATE TRIMS
In order to maintain the appearance of your cooker'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.
FOR NORMAL SOILAGE
Wipe over the hotplates and trims using a clean damp cloth, if necessary use a little washing up liquid, then switch to a low or medium setting for a few minutes to thoroughly dry.
FOR HEAVY SOILAGE
Remove heavily burnt in soilage with a patent razor in a holder with care. DO NOT use the edge of the scraper or a knife. Then soak the soiled area with hot water to which a little washing up liquid has been added. Further clean as below.
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer with a cream cleaner e.g. 'Jif' or a powder cleaner e.g. 'Ajax' on the hotplate and trims. Rinse off cleaning agents thoroughly. Dry as for normal soilage.
For more stubborn marks warm the hotplate on a low setting for approx. 6 - 8 mins. Clean the sealed plate with 'Ajax' powder cleaner, 'Jif' 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 medium 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 VITREOUS ENAMEL
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer made for non- stick saucepans with 'Jif' cream cleaner.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE COOKER
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials or scourers on the outside of the cooker as some of the finishes are painted and damage may occur. Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors, handles and cooker sides using a soft cloth and warm water to which a little washing up liquid has been added.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE PANEL AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD.
CLEANING THE GRILL DEFLECTOR, GRILL PAN, GRILL PAN GRID AND OVEN SHELVES
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can be washed in the dishwasher.
The grill pan and grill deflector may be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad. The grill pan grid and oven shelves should be cleaned using hot soapy water. Soaking first in soapy water will make cleaning easier.
