The hob
Care and Cleaning
In order to keep your hob looking good, and working efficiently, it is important
that you make sure it remains clean. Sometimes when a hob is not working
well, it is because it needs cleaning.
Important: Always make sure that the hob is totally cooled before
cleaning.
Vitreous enamel parts
hob spillage wells (enamel models only)
l
Use a mild cream cleaner for example ‘Cif’. Stubborn marks can be removed
with a soap filled pad.
Cast iron parts
griddle, pansupports (if fitted)
l
Ensure the griddle or pansupports have fully cooled and scrape off any stub-
born marks, and bits of food with a plastic, or wooden cooking implement.
Rinse in warm soapy water and dry with a tea towel.
l
Seasoning the griddle: To season before use, and after cleaning use cook-
ing oil with no added salt. Pour a drop of oil onto the cooking side of the
griddle and wipe over with kitchen paper.
Olive oil is not suitable for seasoning. Regular seasoning will prolong the life of
the griddle and prevent rusting.
Stainless steel surfaces
hob spillage wells (stainless steel models only)
l
Only use a clean cloth wrung out with warm, soapy water and dried off with a
soft cloth. For stubborn marks use a specialist stainless steel cleaner.
l
Do not use undiluted bleaches, or chlorides as these can permanently dam-
age stainless steel. Do not use steam cleaners.
l
Sharp implements and objects can mark the surface of stainless steel, however
they do become less noticeable in time.
To maintain a the finish of stainless steel - use a few drops of Baby Oil on a
dry cloth or kitchen towel. Don’t use too much, and don’t use cooking oil as
it might contain salt.
