Care and cleaning
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.
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.
