Cleaning Your Hob

Do not immerse in water.
•
DO NOT use spray-on or other cleaners as
they may cause electrical damage. DO NOT
use sharp utensils to clean.
•
Remove heavy splatters after use with a
nylon or polyester mesh pad, sponge or cloth
dampened with warm water. Blot dry with
paper towel or a soft, dry cloth.
Any residues that are left on the hob top surface
from cleaning agents will damage it. You should
remove any residues with water and a little
washing up.
Abrasive cleaners or sharp objects will damage
the hob surface; you should clean it using water
and a little washing up liquid.
Although it is easier to clean some deposits whilst
the hob surface is still warm. You should take care
not to burn yourself if cleaning the hob surface
when it is still warm.

a little washing up liquid.

a clean cloth.
Using a specialist hob cleaner
It is possible to purchase specialist ceramic hob
cleaner/conditioner.
You should follow the instructions given by
the manufacturer of the specialist ceramic hob
cleaner. You should ensure that it is suitable for
use on your appliance.
Maintaining the solid plates
•
If something is spilt onto the plate itself, then it
can be removed using a soft brush, plastic or
nylon scourer and warm water.
Regular inspections
Besides keeping the hob clean, you should:
•
Carry out periodic inspections of the control
elements and cooking units of the hob. After
the guarantee has expired you should have a
technical inspection of the cooker carried out
at a service centre at least once every two
years.
Caution!
All repairs and regulatory activities should be
carried out by the appropriate service
centre or by an appropriately authorized
fi
tter.
