7. Cleaning & caring
REMEMBER:
Be careful of the hot appliance.
n
n
Always SWITCH OFF at mains before cleaning.
n
n
DO NOT use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance.
n
n
When cleaning use as little water as possible.
n
n
DO NOT use abrasive pads, oven cleaner or cleaners
containing citric acid on enamelled surfaces.
n
n
DO NOT use hob brite on the enamelled surfaces.
n
n
Supplied with the appliance should be cleaned
in hot soapy water, soaking if necessary. A nylon
scouring pad can also be used. They may also be
cleaned in the dishwasher, but with constant use, the
enamelled finish will become dull in appearance.
Enamelled top and front plate
n
n
The easiest way to clean the AGA top plate and
front plate is to mop up spills as they happen. VEA
approved AGA Enamel Cleaner can be purchased
from www.agacookshop.co.uk.
n
n
Baked on food is more difficult to clean but can
usually be removed with proprietary vitreous
enamel cleaners or mild cream cleaners using a
cloth, or if necessary, a nylon scouring pad and can
be purchased from www.agacookshop.co.uk.
n
n
If milk or fruit juice, or anything containing acid is
spilt on the enamel, wipe off immediately.
n
n
Clean off any condensation streaks on the front plate
around the oven doors or vitreous enamel maybe
permanently discoloured.
n
n
All that is usually needed to keep the vitreous
enamelled surfaces of your appliance bright and
clean is a daily rub over with a damp, soapy cloth
followed immediately with a clean, dry cloth to
avoid streaks.
n
n
Remember the top plate will scratch if pans or
utensils are dragged across them.
