CLEANING THE HOB PLATES
For light soiling and everyday cleaning simply wipe with a moist cloth.
For dirty hotplates use a commercial cleaner.
Be careful to completely remove the cleaner and dry the hotplate by running the
element for a short time.
The plates can be then oiled with a thin coating of vegetable oil or a suitable
commercial product.
Some discoloration of the trim ring is normal during use.
Never scrub the plates with harsh scouring powders, detergents, or agents, never
use steel wool on the plates.
Do not let moisture lie on the cold plates, wipe it off and switch the plates on for a
few minutes so that it can dry thoroughly.
Try to use all the plates regularly as an infrequently used plates tends to corrode. If
these precautions are taken, no undue rusting of the stove should be experienced,
even under coastal conditions.
CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB
Regular cleaning after use will prevent dirt build up and ensure that the hob
remains bright and attractive.
Spillage (especially sugar solution such as jam) should be wiped off immediately
with a damp cloth while the hob is still warm.
If necessary stubborn spills may be removed using a blade scraper and smooth
top cleaner (Scraper can be purchased from most Hardware and Retail Stores).
Clean the hob with a damped cloth and ‘Smooth top cleaner’.
Wipe the hob surrounds with a hot soapy cloth and dry thoroughly.
