Daily Care
First of all, be sure that all heat indicator lights are off and
that the cooking surface is cool. Apply a small dab of ceramic
cleaning cream in the centre of each area to be cleaned.
Dampen a clean paper towel and work the cream onto the
cooking surface. As a final step, wipe the cooking surface with
a clean, dry paper towel.
Cleaning Spills
For spills and boil-overs that occur while cooking, turn off the
unit 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 has completely cooled
down, and then follow the instructions below,
‘Cleaning
Burned-on Spills’
.
If you accidentally melt anything on the surface, or if you spill
foods with a high sugar content (preserves, tomato sauce,
fruit juice, 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 it to cool before cleaning further. After the cooking
surface cools down and the heat indicator lights go off, follow
the
‘Daily Care’
procedure outlined above.
n
n
DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal
scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can
scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of
the glass.
