CLEANING
ELECTRIC HOB
Ceramic glass hobs
•
It is recommended that you clean
and wash the hob surface before
using for the first time. Apply a thin
coat of ceramic hob cleaner to the
hob to help maintain and protect it.
•
The ceramic hob top can be cleaned
using a clean, damp cloth or kitchen
paper. Do not use a used dishcloth
or sponge as they can leave a film of
detergent on the surface which can
lead to discoloration. Please ensure
that the elements are cooled fully to
avoid steam burns.
•
You can use a specialist ceramic
cleaner to restore the surface, but
use sparingly to avoid coating the
hob top too thickly. Too much cream
cleaner will lead to discolouration.
Use a dry, clean cloth to polish the
surface.
•
For stubborn marks, a specialist hob
scraper or cleaner can be used.
•
Do not use steam cleaners or high-
pressure cleaning equipment.
•
Regular cleaning will prevent any
salts or minerals from accumulating
on your hob and discolouring the
glass.
•
Wipe any spillage as soon as pos-
sible.
•
Clean the hob top as regularly as
possible, this will prevent any build
up of grease which may be a fire
hazard.
Solid plate hobs
•
Prime and Season - this helps main-
tain the finish of the elements.
•
Use a damp, clean cloth to wipe the
solid plate, making sure that you
follow the circular grooves and avoid
damaging the red spots. Make sure
that you allow the hotplate to dry
before use by switching on the ele-
ments at a low heat.
•
You can restore the hotplates by us-
ing a solid plate cleaner but take care
to avoid the red spots on elements.
• To prime: Switch on each element in
turn for a short while (with no pan on
it) at a medium - high setting. This
will harden and burn off the coating.
• To season: Heat the element for 30
seconds at a medium setting then
switch off. Use a minimum amount
of unsalted vegetable oil, on a dry
cloth or paper towel, and apply a thin
coat of oil to the element surface.
Wipe off the excess and heat the ele-
ment for one minute.
Notes:
•
The edge of the ceramic glass will
always appear to be a different colour
than the top surface due to the
ground safety edge.
•
Scratches or dark stains on the
ceramic glass that cannot be re-
moved do not affect the function of
the appliance.
Safety when Cleaning
•
For cleaning, the appliance must be
switched off and cooled down.
WARNING!
Risk of burns from residual
heat.
