HINTS AND TIPS
TO REDUCE HOB SOILAGE:
l
Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and the
cooking area are clean and dry before cooking
begins.
l
Ensure saucepans are large enough to accommodate
food to avoid boil overs.
l
If possible, wipe up spills and splatters as they
occur, but take care to avoid steam burns.
l
Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge to clean the
hob. These may leave a layer of soiled detergent
on the hob surface which will burn and discolour
the next time the hob is used.
l
Avoid the use of:
l
Household detergents and bleaches.
l
Impregnated plastic or nylon pads that are
not described as suitable for non-stick
saucepans.
l
Brillo pads, Ajax pads, steel wool pads.
l
Chemical oven cleaners, e.g. aerosols and
oven pads.
l
Rust stain, bath and sink stain removers.
l
Any of the above products may cause
damage to the hob.
l
It is dangerous to mix different cleaning products.
The chemicals in them may react with each other
with hazardous results.
l
SOILAGE FROM SUGAR SOLUTIONS MUST
BE REMOVED FROM THE HOB BEFORE THE
SYRUP HAS SET OTHERWISE DAMAGE TO
THE HOB SURFACE WILL OCCUR.
l
Avoid placing plastic items, aluminium foil or
dishes on the hot surface as this will cause
damage to the hob.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
COOKER
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials eg Hob
Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed
finishes as damage may occur. Regularly wipe over
the control panel, oven doors and cooker sides using
a soft cloth and liquid detergent.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE
CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE PANEL AS THIS
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY
HAZARD.
CLEANING THE GRILL PAN, GRILL PAN
GRID AND OVEN SHELVES
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can
be washed in the dishwasher.
The grill pan, oven shelves may be cleaned using a
soap impregnated steel wool pad. The grill pan grid
should be cleaned using hot soapy water. Soaking
first in soapy water will make cleaning easier.
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND
GRILL COMPARTMENTS
The sides and back of the Main oven compartment
are coated with Stayclean enamel.
The Stayclean surfaces inside the ovens should not
be cleaned manually. See Page 27 'Care of
Stayclean Surfaces'.
