CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Hob
Check that the appliance is cool before cleaning and switch off the electricity
supply. For routine cleaning of the glass surface use a ceramic cleaning cream
and clean cloth or paper towel. After cleaning, wipe dry with a dry paper towel.
If the glass surface becomes discoloured due to cooking deposits and for
cleaning more stubborn stains, use a ceramic hob scraper. Foods with a high
sugar content must be removed promptly to prevent them from sticking or
staining the hob surface.
Clean pan supports and hob controls with warm water and detergent – they can
be removed for cleaning. Replace in the same position after cleaning. When
cleaning the gas burner rings it is essential to ensure that the holes do not
become blocked.
Wipe all hob parts dry with a clean cloth or paper towel after cleaning.
DO
Allow the burners to heat before using for the first time, in order to
expel any smells before the introduction of food.
DO
Clean the appliance before first use and regularly after use.
DO
Remove spills as promptly as possible to prevent food residue
burning on the hob surface.
Gas Leaks
If a smell of gas becomes apparent, the gas supply should be turned off at the
cylinder IMMEDIATELY. Extinguish naked flames including cigarettes and pipes.
Do not operate electrical switches. Open all doors and windows to disperse any
gas escape. Butane/Propane gas is heavier than air; any gas escaping will
therefore collect at low level. The strong unpleasant smell of gas will enable the
general area of the leak to be detected. Check that the gas is not escaping from
an unlit appliance. Never check for leaks with a naked flame; leak investigation
should be carried out using a leak detector spray.
Servicing and Maintenance
Thetford recommend an annual inspection service by an authorised service
agent to maintain efficient appliance performance. In between annual service this
appliance needs little maintenance other than routine cleaning.
Servicing and maintenance must only be performed by authorized and suitably
qualified personnel. Refer to your local Thetford Service agent giving details of
the model & Serial No. from the appliance Data Badge.
