Care and Cleaning
WARNING: BEFORE CLEANING, SWITCH THE
COOKER OFF AT THE MAINS COOKER CONTROL
PANEL AND ALLOW IT TO COOL. IT IS
ESSENTIAL THAT THE OVENS ARE CLEANED

Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge
and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive
material or sharp metal scrapers as these could
scratch the surface and cause the glass to crack.

Always clean spills immediately. If the hob is reused
before cleaning, spillage will be baked on and

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
retailer, 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 Autogol 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.

'Stay Clean' Liners
'Stay Clean' liners are covered with a special enamel
which absorbs cooking soils. At higher temperatures
the soiling is slowly destroyed. In most cases normal
cooking at higher temperatures will permit this cleaning
to take place automatically. However, if higher cooking
temperatures are not used regularly then it may be
necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the
oven at maximum temperature for at least two hours,
from time to time. The 'Stay Clean' liners can be
washed in warm soapy water followed by rinsing in
clear water. Dry well with a soft cloth.
NOTE: Do not use enzyme washing powder, harsh
abrasives or chemical oven cleaners of any kind.
Oven Fittings
The oven shelves can be cleaned either in a
dishwasher or by using a fine steel wool soap pad.
The grill and meat pans can be cleaned in warm
soapy water using a fine steel wool soap pad to
remove stubborn stains or in a dishwasher.
They should be cleaned after each use.
Oven Interiors
To clean the oven interiors remove all the oven
fittings and where applicable the 'Stay Clean' liners.
All types of oven cleaners can be used, but do not

allow abrasive cleaners or oven spray to come into
contact with the 'Stay Clean' liners. Use a fine steel

Oven Door Cleaning
The inner door glass panel can be removed for easy
cleaning, see Care and Cleaning.
Cooker Exterior
The outside of the cooker should be cleaned regularly
to keep it looking like new. Wipe over with a soft cloth
wrung out in warm water and dry with a soft clean
cloth. You can use mild non abrasive cleaners but
always read the manufacturer's instructions first.
Always test their suitability on a small area of the
cooker not noticeable in normal use.
NOTE: DO NOT use scouring pads or abrasive
cleaners as they may scratch the surface.
Wear protective gloves when cleaning any part of
your cooker.
