Care and Maintenance
The hob has a stainless steel surface, 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 these 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.
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.
