Cleaning your cooker
Essential information
Before thorough cleaning isolate the electricity
supply. Remember to switch on the electricity
supply before use.
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.
Recommended cleaning materials are shown
in the table at the end of this section.
If you want to move your cooker for cleaning, see
the section called ‘Moving your cooker’.
All parts of the cooker can be cleaned with hot
soapy water -
but take care that no surplus water
seeps into the appliance.
For cleaning materials see the ‘Cleaning Table’ at the
end of this section.
Hob
It’s very easy to clean the Hob with a recommended
cleaner.
CAUTION — Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads,
oven aerosols or pads or stain removers on the
surface.
Daily care
First of all, be sure that all heat indicator lights are
off and the cooking surface is cool. Apply a small
dab, about the size of a 10p piece, of ceramic
cooking cleaning cream in the centre of each area
to be cleaned. Dampen a clean paper towel and
work the cleaning cream on the cooking surface as
if you were cleaning a window. 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 is completely cooled
down and follow the instructions below (“Cleaning
for burned-on spills”). If you accidentally melt
anything on the cooking 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 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 as you would
scrape paint off of a window.
IMPORTANT: Take care when using a sharp scraper.
When 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 be easily
removed using the procedure described above for
cleaning spills. If the rub-off marks are especially
stubborn, use the cleaning cream together with the
razor scraper, using the technique described above.
