Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the cooker from the electricity supply.
This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or with a steam cleaning machine.
The Hob Top
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool. Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a little wasing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use of the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for
-steel wool pads;
-bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend is used.
Pan Supports
The hob has cast iron pan supports. Take care when removing them. They are fairly heavy and could damage the hob or your kitchen furniture if you let them fall down. Wash the pan supports using hot soapy water.
If necessary, a paste cleaner or a soap impregnated steel wood pad can be used with caution.
The Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning. Wash the burner caps and crowns using hot soapy water, and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner. A well moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used with caution, if the marks are particularly difficult to remove. After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Ignition electrode
The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic and metal electrode (see diagram page 5 - letter C). Keep these components very clean, to avoid lighting difficulties, and check that the burner crown holes are not obstructed.
