warning
If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance

If the hob is very soiled:
1. Remove soilage using the razor blade scraper.
2. Use a hob cleaner product after there has been
sufficient time allowed for the hob to cool. Shake the
bottle and apply a small quantity of cleaner directly onto
the hob. Rub clean using a damp cloth or paper towels.
3. Use a damp cloth to remove all remaining traces of the
cleaner, which could otherwise burn on when the hob is
next used. Wipe the hob dry.
caution
Use the scraper supplied to remove spillages
immediately, while the hob is still hot! Especially sugar
and foods with a high sugar content (eg. jam), melted
plastics and foil, all of which can damage the hob if left.
Razor blade scraper
Use the scraper to remove spillages from the ceramic hob.

spillage. The razor blade can be pressed down hard
onto the hob without causing any damage.
4. Carefully clean the blade by wiping it with a paper towel.

Trivets and burners
These can all be lifted off and removed for separate
cleaning.
NOTE! When refitting the burners, ensure that they are
correctly seated.
Ensure burners are thoroughly dried after cleaning or
spillage. When cleaning the burners, ensure that all the
flame ports are free of any blockage. If necessary, use a
toothpick or brush to clear ports. The outer surface of the
burner caps have a polished finish and extra care needs to
be taken to avoid scratching this surface during cleaning. In
instances of heavy soiling, it may be necessary to apply a
non-abrasive cleaning compound and rub with a cloth until
the soiling is removed and then finish with a soft, dry cloth.
NOTE! DO NOT place trivets or burners in the dishwasher.
