BEFORE CLEANING
CLEANING MATERIALS
Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker,
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
should also be avoided.
CLEANING THE RADIANT HOB AND
HOTPLATE TRIMS (SB 420/ SB 430)
Clean the hob surface with liquid detergent or mildly
abrasive cream cleaner, e.g. Flash.
The hotplate trims are removable for cleaning, and
can be washed in the dishwasher.
The spillage tray below the hotplates can be cleaned
using a soap impregnated steel wool pad.
For convenience, the hob is hinged and can be
supported using the hob stay rod during cleaning.
CLEANING THE SOLID HOTPLATES
AND HOTPLATE TRIMS (SB 421 ONLY)
In order to maintain the appearance of your cooker's
solid hotplates and trims you are advised to use the
recommended cleaning agents daily. If you do not
allow spillages to burn on they will be much easier to
clean off.
THINGS TO NOTE
The red spot in the centre of the hotplates may be
removed with some abrasive cleaning agents. This is
not a fault and does not affect the performance of the
hotplate.
FOR NORMAL SOILAGE
Wipe over the hotplates and trims using a clean
damp cloth then switch to a low or medium setting for
a few minutes to thoroughly dry.
FOR HEAVY SOILAGE
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer with a cream
cleaner e.g. 'Jif' or 'Flash' or a powder cleaner e.g.
'Ajax' on the hotplate and trims. Follow the circular
grooved pattern on the hotplate when cleaning.
Rinse off cleaning agents thoroughly. Dry as for
normal soilage.
For more stubborn marks warm the hotplate on a low
setting for 30 seconds. Clean the solid plate with
'Ajax' powder cleaner, 'Jif' or Flash cream cleaner or
a Brillo pad. You may have to rub hard for several
minutes.
Rinse off cleaning agents thoroughly with a damp
cloth. Switch to a low or medium setting for a few
minutes until the hotplate is thoroughly dry.
CLEANING THE HOTPLATE TRIMS
The stainless steel trims may become straw coloured
during use. Using a proprietary stainless steel
cleaner , e.g. 'Shiny Sinks' will help maintain a bright
appearance. Alternatively a powder cleaner such as
'Bar Keepers Friend' may be used regularly.
CLEANING THE VITREOUS ENAMEL
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer made for non-
stick saucepans with 'Jif' or 'Flash' cream cleaner.
AFTER CLEANING
To maintain the appearance of the hotplates
occasionally apply a little salt free vegetable oil or
commercial restorative agent e.g. '4 Hob' or use a
'Minky' Hotplate Cleaning Cloth.
To apply vegetable oil, first heat the hotplate on a
medium setting for 30 seconds then turn OFF. Pour
a very small amount of oil onto kitchen paper, apply
the paper to the hotplate and wipe off any excess oil.
Heat the hotplate on a medium setting for 1 minute.
To apply restorative agent, apply a thin coating
of '4 Hob' or use a Minky cloth following the
manufacturers instructions.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
COOKER
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials, or
scourers on the outside of the cooker as some of the
finishes are painted and damage may occur.
Regularly wipe over the control panel, splashback,
oven doors and cooker sides using a soft cloth and
liquid detergent.
