Care and cleaning
For your safety
For hygiene and safety reasons you must keep this gas appliance clean. A build up of fat or other foodstuff could cause a fire.
Try to mop up spills and splashes as soon as they happen. But be careful as parts of the appliance will be hot.
Do not use any polishes, caustic cleaners, abrasives, washing soda or soap powder except those recommended in this booklet.
Please note: If we recommend you use hot soapy water we mean hot water with washing up liquid in it and not any other cleaning product.
If you own a dishwasher please read the operating instructions for the machine before you wash any part of your appliance in it.
Clean your appliance regularly using a cloth that has been wrung out in hot soapy water. Rinse and polish it dry using a soft cloth.
When you remove parts of your appliance for cleaning do not plunge them into water whilst they are very hot as this may damage the finish of the parts.
Cleaning the handles and control knobs
Do not remove the control knobs from the appliance as damage may occur. It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water and a soft cloth is used for cleaning the door handles and control knobs. ANY OTHER CLEANING MATERIALS MAY DULL THE FINISH. Care should be taken when cleaning, to ensure that all cleaning products are wiped from the control knobs immediately.
The hotplate
Any spillage on the stainless steel finish must be wiped off immediately.
Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and should be avoided as they may dull the surface finish.
