Care and Maintenance
The hob has a stainless steel surface. Due to this you should use a
non-abrasive cleaner. Any abrasive cleaner (including Cif) will scratch
the surface and could erase the control panel markings. Stainless steel
can be effectively cleaned by simply using a dilute solution of water and
washing up liquid and drying to a shine with a clean cloth.
Over time with use, the stainless steel surface may discolour; this is
normal and does not constitute a fault with this appliance. Proprietary
stainless steel cleaners are available.
IMPORTANT
:
Steam cleaners must not be used when cleaning this appliances.
HOTPLATE CARE:
The finish of the cast iron hotplates is designed to be durable in use. The
following tips should be observed to get the best from your hob:
1.
Do not use decorative covers; these can cause damage to the
surface and lead to rust.
2.
Use a special hotplate surface cleaner to protect and restore the
surface of the hotplates.
3.
Do not use soap and water on the hotplates. Wipe up spills and
splashes immediately but take extreme care not to burn yourself.
4.
Never operate the hob without a pan, unless it is for a few seconds
(as below).
5.
Deposits of fat can be burned off by turning the hotplate on for a few
seconds. The fat will brush off when the appliance has cooled down.
