Glass surfaces
Spillages etc. should be cleaned off as soon as possible.
Most soiling can be wiped off using a damp cloth. Stubborn soiling may need to
be removed with a shielded scraper blade.
Do not use washing up liquid on hte ceramic surface as it can leave a blue sheen
which may be difficult to remove.
To remove any limescale deposits, caused for example by water boiling over and
metallic marks (aluminium deposits) apply a few drops of a proprietary cleaning
agent for glass surfaces using a soft cloth or kitchen paper towel.
Note that some cleaning agents contain a protective additive designed to prevent
water marks and smears adhering to the surface.
After cleaning wipe the hob surface with a damp cloth and then dry it with a clean
soft cloth.
Burners
The burners can be dismantled for cleaning once they have cooled down.
Proceed as follows:
- Take off all the removable parts of the burner and wash in a solution of hot water
and washing-up liquid. Then dry them all thoroughly. Make sure that the flame
slits are clean and completely dry.
The surface of the burner cap will gradually become more matt with time. This is
quite normal and will not affect the operation of the hob.
- Wipe the fixed parts of the burner base with a damp cloth and dry afterwards.
- Gently wipe the ignitor and the ignition safety device with a clean cloth.
