1. Plastic or nylon pads / scourers, these may scratch the surface.
2. Household abrasive powders.
3. Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads.
Caustic cleaners such as these will etch the surface and attack the
metal frame.
4. Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface.
The cleaning of sealed hotplates should be done when they are cold,
using a soap filled Brillo pad, following the grain of the hotplate. This will
ensure that any stubborn, burnt on spillages are removed. Wipe over with
a damp clean cloth, making sure that all the cleaner has been removed.
Finally, turn on hotplate to warm for a few minutes, then smear with a
little cooking oil to provide a protective coating, or the restorative agent
Homecare Four Hob, available from Credacare Spares or leading
supermarkets. The bezels will mellow with use to a burnished gold colour,
a soap filled Brillo pad will help to keep them bright, care should be taken
not to damage the vitreous enamel hob surface.
Note:
We do not recommend the use of decorative covers over the hot
hotplates as these can hold condensation and cause corrosion. Accidental
operation with a cover in place can cause intense heat. Never place
saucepan lids on the hotplates, as this may cause corrosion.
Remove the grill pan and the wire grid food support, it is best to wash
these items immediately after use to prevent stains from being burnt on
when used again. Wipe out the Grill compartment, use a fine steel wool
soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the grill runners the grill
deflector plate and the floor of the compartment.
Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.
Do not use
cream cleaners, oven cleaners or aerosols, scouring pads or
abrasive powder for cleaning the plastic knobs as damage will occur.
It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to prevent any build
up of soiling. The recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over the
trims with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water or mild non-abrasive
cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner on a small area of trim which is not
noticeable in normal use). Then, after wiping with a cloth wrung out in
clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.
