CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE 

 

In the interests of both safety and hygiene your Belling electric cooker needs to be 

kept clean. A build-up of grease or fat from cooking could cause a fire hazard. 

 

WARNING! For your own safety, always switch off your cooker at the mains supply 

and allow to cool before cleaning. Never use excessive amounts of water to clean 

your cooker, and remember that your cooker is heavy – take care when pulling it 

out for access. 

 

The Hob 

Clean  the  hob  surround  with  a  cloth  wrung  out  in  warm  soapy  water.  Stubborn 

stains can be removed with a cream, paste or liquid cleaner, or by gently rubbing 

with liberally soaped, very fine steel wool pad. 

The sealed hotplates may be cleaned using a soap filled pad following the grain of 

the  hotplate.  This  will  ensure  that  any  stubborn,  burnt on spillages are removed. 

Wipe  over  with  a  damp  clean  cloth,  making  sure  that  all  the  cleaner  has  been 

removed.  

 

IMPORTANT:

 After cleaning, dry the hotplates thoroughly by switching on to a low 

setting for a few minutes, then smear with a little cooking oil to provide a protective 

coating. 

Belling  Sealed  Hotplate  Conditioner  is  available  from  our  spares  department  on 

01709 579907 quoting part number BELLING026. 

 

The  stainless  steel  hotplate  trim  will  discolour  during  normal  use  and  can  be 

cleaned using a cream cleaner or a stainless steel cleaner. 

 

The Oven  

The  oven  should  be  cleaned  after  each  use  to  remove  cooking  residuals  and 

grease which, if burnt on when the oven is used again, will form deposits or stains, 

as well as unpleasant smells. Do not leave vinegar, coffee, milk, salty water or the 

juice of lemon or tomato on enamelled surfaces for any length of time. Always wash 

the accessories used. 

 

The  rod  shelf  and  food  support  grid  can  be  cleaned  using  household  cream 

cleanser  with  a  nylon  pad  or  sponge.  Heavier  soiling  may  require  the  use  of  a 

proprietary oven cleaner or steel wool pad, but do not allow these to contact the 

door seals or plastic parts of the cooker. 

 

Only  use  oven  cleaners  which  carry  the  Vitreous  Enamel Development Council's 

Approvals symbol, and always follow the manufacturers instructions for use.  The 

manufacturer  cannot  be  held  responsible  for  any  damages  caused  by  incorrect 

cleaning. . Belling Oven Cleaner is available from our spares department on 01709 

579907 quoting part number BELLING030.
