CLEANING
ELECTRIC HOB
Ceramic glass hobs
• The ceramic hob top can be cleaned
using a clean, damp cloth or kitchen
paper. Please ensure that the
elements are cooled fully to avoid
steam burns.
• You can use a specialist ceramic
cleaner to restore the surface, but use
sparingly to avoid coating the hob top
too thickly. Too much cream cleaner
will lead to discolouration. Use a dry,
clean cloth to polish the surface.
• For stubborn marks, a specialist hob
scraper can be used.
• Do not use steam cleaners.
• Regular cleaning will prevent any salts
or minerals from accumulating on
your hob and discolouring the glass.
• Wipe any spillage as soon as possible.
• Clean the hob top as regularly as pos-
sible, this will prevent any build up of
grease which may be a fi re hazard.
Solid plate hobs
• Prime and Season - this helps
maintain the fi nish of the elements.
• Use a damp, clean cloth to wipe
the solid plate, making sure that
you follow the circular grooves and
avoid damaging the red spots. Make
sure that you allow the hotplate to
dry before use by switching on the
elements at a low heat.
• You can restore the hotplates by using
a solid plate cleaner but take care to
avoid the red spots on elements.
• To prime: Switch on each element in
turn for a short while (with no pan on
it) at a medium - high setting. This
will harden and burn off the coating.
• To season: Heat the element for 30
seconds at a medium setting then
switch off. Use a minimum amount of
unsalted vegetable oil, on a dry cloth
or paper towel, and apply a thin coat
of oil to the element surface. Wipe off
the excess and heat the element for
one minute.
