Care and cleaning

WARNING!

Before cleaning always allow the appliance to cool down before switching off at the electricity supply.

Cleaning materials

•Before using any cleaning materials on your appliance, 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 and scourers should also be avoided.

Cleaning the outside of the appliance

•Do not use abrasive cleaning materials e.g. abrasive cream cleaners, wire wool pads or scourers on painted or printed finishes as damage may occur. Regularly wipe over the control panel, control knobs, handles, doors and appliance sides using a soft cloth and hot soapy water. To prevent streaking, finish with a soft cloth.

•Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and should be avoided as they may dull the surface finish. Any spillage on the stainless steel finish must be wiped off immediately.

WARNING!

Do not attempt to remove any of the control knobs from the appliance as this may cause damage and is a safety hazard.

Cleaning the hob

•Clean the hob using a mild abrasive.

•Take care not to damage the spark electrodes. If the spark electrodes are damaged the burners will not light. You can remove the pan supports, burner caps and burner crowns to clean them. Again take care not to damage the spark electrodes.

•Clean the burner crowns and pan supports by soaking them in very hot soapy water.

•Aluminium based saucepans can leave shiny metal marks on the pan supports. You can remove any stubborn stains by scouring with a soap impregnated steel wool pad. If you look after the burner crowns and pan supports in this way they will stay reasonably clean. However the surface will dull with time. After cleaning the appliance parts, dry them thoroughly before you put them back.

When replacing hob burner parts

1.Crown to body. (Do not try to force the crown on to the body). Make sure that the hole in the crown is over the electrode. Check that the location pegs sit in the slots in the body. When the crown is in this position let it fall freely on to the body. Check that the crown can be moved slightly from side to side.

2.Cap to crown. Place cap centrally on the top of crown (enamel side up). Move sideways and front to back to check the cap is properly fitted.

3.Check for ignition. If a burner will not light then you need to check the crown and cap positions.
