Care and Maintenance
The hob has a stainless steel or enamel 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 are 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 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.
IF YOUR HOB IS NOT WORKING:
1. Check that the mains supply has not been switched off.
2. Check that the fuse or circuit breaker has not blown/tripped.
