equipment from which a safe system of work can be developed.
For further help and information on manual handling and associated risk assessment refer to the Health
and Safety Executive, Manual Handling at Work INDG143 or guidelines provided by the relevant

ADVICE
✔
All surfaces are easier to clean if dealt with before spill become “burnt in”. Daily cleaning is advisable.
A)
STAINLESS STEEL AND CERAMIC SURFACES
WARNING!
Do not use water on ceramic surfaces whilst they are still hot as warping and cracking may occur, allow
the ceramic to cool after use before cleaning.
Do not use abrasive detergents, bleach strong solvents or caustic solutions as they could corrode or
damage the appliance.
Do not soak the controls and display panel with liquid, only use a damp cloth.
Use a plastic or wooden scraper tool with a quality glass cleaner to remove any baked on food debris and carbon
deposits. Plastic, aluminum foil and sugary foods should be scraped off ceramic surfaces immediately as if they
melt they can damage the surface.
All surfaces should then be wiped down with cloth lightly moistened with warm water or a mild detergent with
warm water, a soft scrubbing brush may also be utilised. Then dry thoroughly with a dry cloth and polish with a
soft dry cloth.
B)
FLOOR
WARNING!
Do not use a pressure washer or hose gun for cleaning underneath the appliance.
For cleaning purposes, access to the floor area under the appliance is from the front below the facia panel.
The electrical connection may be hardwired with some slack to allow limited movement of the appliance, in
other installations it may be my means of a disconnectable plug such as CEE17/IEC 60309 (Commando). If
connected to the water supply this will normally be by flexible water hoses, which allow a limited amount of
movement without needing to disconnect them.
However, if the appliance has a plastic waste water trap this will require the compression ring untwisting to
disconnect it from the waste water pipework. When moving the appliance in this manner take care not to place
excessive strain on the water or electrical connections. Once the appliance is back in position, apply any wheel
brakes and twist the compression fit on the wastetrap ensuring the rubber seals are in place and the pipe
correctly seated.
C)
MONTHLY FILTER CLEANING
Once per month the grease filter should be removed and cleaned. This is located on the underside of the
appliance. Slide out the filter and clean it by immersing in detergent and hot water, then rinse with hot water.
