Care and Cleaning
25
TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH BEFORE CLEANING.
BEFORE SWITCHING ON AGAIN, ENSURE THAT ALL
CONTROLS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION.
NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL WASHING POWDER, HARSH
ABRASIVES, SCOURING PADS, AEROSOL CLEANERS OR OVEN
CHEMICAL CLEANERS OF ANY KIND.
1. Plastic or nylon pads, scourers, these may scratch the surface.
2. Household abrasive powders.
3. Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads. Caustic
cleaners such as these will etch the surface and attack the metal
frame.
4. Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface.
Apply conditioner before using the hob for the first time. It
contains a mild cleaning agent, so that subsequent applications may
clean off soil and apply a protective film at the same time. For stubborn
stains or heavy soiling use any of the following materials, and finish off
with conditioner.
1. Jif, non-scratch scouring cream.
2. Liquid Gumption Kitchen Cleanser.
3. Special Powder Cleanser.
1. If the hob is scratched through accident or misuse, soil that
collects will appear as fine brown lines; these are not fully
removable but can be made less obvious by the daily use of
cleaner conditioner. Cooking performance is in no way affected
by scratches on the surface.
2. Pans with aluminium bases should be lifted rather than dragged
across the hob surface. This will avoid metal rubbing off the pan
onto the glass. Such marks are easily removed by the powder
cleanser, provided they are not subsequently baked on for long
periods at high temperatures.
In the unlikely event of the ceramic hob surface cracking, isolate the
cooker by switching it off at the
main switch, and contact the nearest
service centre.
Do not continue to use the cooker until it is repaired.
Wipe with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.
It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to prevent any
build up of soiling. The recommended method of cleaning is to wipe
over the trims with a soft cloth wrung out in hot water or mild non-
abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner on a small area of trim
which is not noticeable in normal use). Then, after wiping with a cloth
wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.
