CARE AND CLEANING
Before cleaning always allow the appliance
to cool down.
CLEANING MATERIALS
Before using any cleaning materials on your
appliance, check that they are suitable and that their
use is recommended by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should
NOT
be used
as they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh
abrasives must also be avoided.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
APPLIANCE
Do not
use abrasive cleaning materials e.g. Hob
Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed
finishes as damage may occur. Regularly wipe over
the control panel, doors and appliance sides using a
soft cloth and hot soapy water. To prevent streaking
finish with a soft cloth.
Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and
should be avoided as they may dull the surface
finish.
Any spillage on the stainless steel finish
must be wiped off immediately.
Do not attempt to remove any of the
control knobs from the appliance as this
may cause damage and is a safety hazard.
CLEANING THE CONTROL KNOBS AND
HANDLES
It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water
is used for cleaning the control knobs and handles.
ANY OTHER CLEANING MATERIALS MAY DULL
THE SURFACE FINISH.
CLEANING THE HOB
Clean the hotplate top using a mild abrasive. Take
care not to damage the spark electrodes. If the
spark electrodes are damaged the burners will not
light.
You can remove the pan supports, burner caps and
burner crowns to clean them. Again take care not to
damage the spark electrodes.
Clean the burner crowns and pan supports by
soaking them in very hot soapy water. Aluminium
based saucepans can leave shiny metal marks on
the pan supports. You can remove any stubborn
stains by scouring with a soap impregnated steel
wool pad. If you look after the burner crowns and
pan supports in this way they will stay reasonably
clean. However the surface will dull with time.
After cleaning the appliance parts, dry them
thoroughly before you put them back.
