Always clean spills immediately. If the hob is reused before cleaning,
spillage will be baked on and be very difficult to remove.
Always switch the cooker OFF at the cooker control panel.
To minimise cleaning:
Always take care and avoid spills.
Always use a Ceramic Hob Cleaner-Conditioner whenever cleaning is
done. The Cleaner-Conditioner forms a protective film on the hob
and contains a mild detergent which makes cleaning easier.
Hotpoint has a Cleaner-Conditioner which can be obtained, either
through a local Hotpoint Service Centre or retainer, part no.6004.
To clean off stubborn stains, the following can be used when the surface has
cooled:
1.
Cif, non-scratch cream cleaner.
2.
Heavy soil can be removed from the surface by carefully using a
glass scraper.
3.
Hard water stains, grease spots and any discolouration having a
metallic sheen can be removed with Solvol Autosol Super or any
non abrasive stainless steel cleaner.
After cleaning, always use the Cleaner-Conditioner and finish it off by
polishing with a clean, dry paper towel.
Never
use abrasive or chemical oven cleaners as they can damage the
surface of the hob.
The visual effect of any scratches which may occur in use can be minimised
by the use of Cleaner-Conditioner. Such scratches cannot be removed but
do not affect the function of the hob in any way.
