Care and Maintenance
THE HOB:
Spillage on the hob can usually be
removed by a damp soapy cloth. More
obstinate stains can be removed by
rubbing gently with a soapy scouring pad
or mild household cleaner.
Avoid scratching or scraping the surface.
Always wipe the plates after use with a
damp cloth and switch on momentarily to
dry the plate, otherwise the plate may
discolour.
Occasionally wipe a trace of cooking oil
over the plate to maintain its
appearance.
SPILLAGE:
Any spillage should be dealt with as
soon as possible to prevent it becoming
baked on.
REMOVING THE LID:
Simply open the lid so that it is in the
upright position. Lift upwards until the
hinges are clear of the hinge brackets.
Replace in reverse.
Always switch the cooker off at the
mains isolating switch before cleaning
or touching any electrical part.
THE OVENS:
The ovens interior and the chromium
plated shelves and runners can be
cleaned by a damp soapy cloth.
Obstinate stains can be removed with
scouring pads and a gentle, non-
abrasive, liquid cleaner.
Provided the oven is wiped over
immediately after roasting, only the
minimum of cleaning should be
necessary.
DOOR GLASS:
The glass of the oven door can be
cleaned with a soft, warm, soapy cloth,
then wiped clean with cold water and
polished with a soft clean cloth.
Do not use scouring pads or anything
abrasive on the oven door glass.
ENAMEL PARTS:
In order to maintain the condition of the
enamel parts, clean and wipe frequently
with hot soapy water. Any obstinate
marks can be removed using a paste or
cream cleaner or a well moistened soap
impregnated steel wool pad. Rub gently
so as not to damage the surface. Never
use abrasive powders. Do not permit
vinegar, coffee, milk, salt water, lemon or
tomato juice to remain in contact with the
enamel parts as they may stain or
discolour the surface.
NOTE:
Any cleaners such as spray or stick
cleaners which are used on enamel must
have the VEDC (Vitreous Enamel
Development Council) seal of approval
and the manufacturers instructions must
be followed.
