Cleaning
Cleaning operations must only be carried out when
the hob is cool.
The appliance should be disconnected from your
mains supply before commencing any cleaning
process.
Cleaning the hob top
Any residues that are left on the hob top surface from cleaning
agents will damage it. You should remove any residues with
water and a little washing up.
Abrasive cleaners or sharp objects will damage the hob surface;
you should clean it using water and a little washing up liquid.
Although it is easier to clean some deposits whilst the hob
surface is still warm. Make sure that the hob surface, pan
supports and hob burners have all cooled sufficiently
before you attempt to touch them.
After each use
o
Remove the pan supports and wipe the appliance over with a
damp cloth and a little washing up liquid.
o
Dry the appliance by rubbing the surface with a soft, clean cloth.
Cleaning the hob burners
The hob burners should be cleaned once a week or more frequently if
they get soiled.
o
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the hob surface, pan supports and
hob burners have cooled before you attempt to touch them.
o
Remove the hob burners by pulling them upwards and away
from the hob top.
o
Soak them for about ten minutes in hot water and a little
detergent.
o
After cleaning and washing them, wipe and dry them carefully.
o
Before placing the burners back on the hob top, make sure that
the gas jet is not blocked.
