Cleaning your Cooker
Isolate the electricity supply before carrying out any
thorough cleaning. Then allow the cooker to cool.
Never use paint solvents, washing soda, caustic cleaners,
biological powders, bleach, chlorine based bleach cleaners,
coarse abrasives or salt. Don’t mix different cleaning products
- they may react together with hazardous results.
All parts of the cooker can be cleaned with hot soapy water
-
but take care that no surplus water seeps into the
appliance.
Remember to switch on the electricity supply and reset the
clock before re-using the cooker.
We have developed a range of cleaning products that give
maximum performance without damaging the enamel and
painted surfaces. More information is available through either
the Cookware Collection brochure supplied with your cooker or
our website www.rangemaster.co.uk
.
Hob
Daily care
First of all, be sure that all heat indicator lights are off and the
cooking surface is cool. Apply a small dab of ceramic cooking
cleaning cream in the centre of each area to be cleaned.
Dampen a clean paper towel and work the cleaning cream
onto the cooking surface. As a final step, wipe the cooking
surface with a clean, dry paper towel.
Cleaning for spills
For spills and boil-overs that occur while cooking, turn the
unit off and wipe the area surrounding the hot zone with a
clean paper towel. If a spill (other than a sugary substance) is
on the hot zone, do not clean until the unit has completely
cooled down and follow the instructions below (“Cleaning for
burned-on spills”).
If you accidentally melt anything on the surface, or if you spill
foods with a high sugar content (preserves, tomato sauce,
etc.), REMOVE the spill IMMEDIATELY with a razor scraper,
while the unit is still hot.
IMPORTANT: Use an oven glove to protect your hand from
potential burns.
Scrape the major spill or melted material from the cooking
zone and push into a cold area. Then, turn the unit “OFF”
and allow to cool before cleaning further. After the cooking
surface cools down and the heat indicator lights go off, use
the 'Daily care' procedure as outlined above.
Cleaning for burned-on spills
Be sure that the heat indicator lights are off and that the hob
is cool. Remove excess burned-on substance with a single-
edged razor scraper. Hold the scraper at approximately a 30°
angle to the surface and scrape off the burned-on matter:
Once you have removed as much as possible with the scraper,
clean using the 'Daily care' procedure as described above.
To remove metal rub-off
Sliding pans on the hob - especially aluminium or copper
pans - can leave marks on the surface. These marks often
appear like scratches, but can easily be removed using the
procedure described above for cleaning spills. If the rub-off
marks are especially stubborn, use a cleaning cream together
with the razor scraper, as described above.
Glide-Out Grill
The grill pan and grid should be washed in hot soapy water.
After grilling meats or any foods that soil, leave to soak for
a few minutes in the sink immediately after use. Stubborn
particles may be removed from the grid using a nylon brush.
Alternatively, the grill pan can be washed in a dish washer.
Before you remove any of the grill parts for cleaning,
ensure that they are cool, or use oven gloves.
The grill pan can be easily removed for cleaning, as follows:
Remove the grill pan support frame by pulling the grill pan
forward:
Lift the grill pan clear of the support frame.
The support frame
is held to the side rails by two clips on each side:
