CLEANING

CLEANING MATERIALS

Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker,
check that they are suitable and that their use is
recommended by the manufacturer.

Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives
should also be avoided.

CLEANING  THE  SEALED  HOTPLATES  
AND HOTPLATE TRIMS

In order to maintain the appearance of your cooker's
sealed hotplates and trims you are advised to use
the recommended cleaning agents daily. If you do
not allow spillages to burn on they will be much
easier to clean off.

THINGS TO NOTE

The red spot in the centre of the hotplates may be
removed with some abrasive cleaning agents. This is
not a fault and does not affect the performance of the
hotplates.

FOR NORMAL SOILAGE

Wipe over the hotplates and trims using a clean
damp cloth then switch to a low or medium setting for
a few minutes to thoroughly dry.

FOR  HEAVY SOILAGE

Use a clean damp cloth or scourer with a cream
cleaner e.g. 'Jif' or a powder cleaner e.g. 'Ajax' on
the hotplate  and  trims.  Follow the circular grooved
pattern on the hotplate when cleaning.  Rinse off
cleaning agents thoroughly. Dry as for normal
soilage.

For more stubborn marks warm the hotplate on a low
setting for 30 seconds. Clean the sealed plate with
'Ajax' powder cleaner, 'Jif' cream cleaner or a 'Brillo'
pad. You may have to rub hard for several minutes.

Rinse off cleaning agents thoroughly with a damp
cloth. Switch to a low or medium setting for a few
minutes until the hotplate is thoroughly dry.

CLEANING THE  HOTPLATE  TRIMS

The stainless steel trims may become straw coloured
during use. Using a proprietary stainless steel
cleaner , e.g. 'Shiny Sinks' will help maintain a bright
appearance.  Alternatively a powder cleaner such as
'Bar Keepers Friend' may be used regularly.

CLEANING THE VITREOUS ENAMEL

Use a clean damp cloth or scourer made for non-
stick saucepans with 'Jif'  cream cleaner.

AFTER CLEANING

To maintain the appearance of the hotplates
occasionally apply a little salt free vegetable oil or
commercial restorative agent e.g. '4 Hob' or use a
'Minky' Hotplate Cleaning Cloth.

To apply vegetable oil, first heat the hotplate on a
medium setting for 30 seconds then turn OFF.  Pour
a very small amount of oil onto kitchen paper, apply
the paper to the hotplate and wipe off any excess oil.
Heat the hotplate on a medium setting for 1 minute.

To  apply  restorative  agent,  apply  a  thin  coating
of '4 Hob' or use a Minky cloth following the
manufacturers instructions.

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 OUTSIDE OF THE
COOKER

DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials or scourers
on the outside of the cooker as some of the finishes
are painted and damage may occur. Regularly wipe
over the control panel, oven doors and cooker sides
using a soft cloth and liquid detergent.
