1. Make sure the ceramic glass is cool.
2. Use a ceramic hob scraper with care at an angle

3. Use Bar-Keepers Friend or Hob Brite to finish off

TO REMOVE DISCOLOURATIONS OR
WHITE AND SILVER MARKS
These marks sometimes give the impression of being
in or underneath the hob glass. They can almost
always be removed provided they have not become
excessively burnt on. Follow the instructions above
under ‘To Remove more Stubborn Marks’.
If this is unsuccessful, make up a paste of one part
water to three parts Cream of Tarter and leave on the
discoloured areas overnight. The marks should be
easily removable the next day provided they have not
been excessively burnt on. The paste should be
thoroughly washed off afterwards.
HINTS AND TIPS
TO REDUCE HOB SOILAGE:
·
Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and the
cooking area are clean and dry before cooking
begins.
·
Ensure saucepans are large enough to
accommodate food to avoid boil overs.
·
If possible, wipe up spills and splatters as they
occur, but take care to avoid steam burns.
·
Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge to clean the
hob. These may leave a layer of soiled detergent
on the hob surface which will burn and discolour
the next time the hob is used.
·
Avoid the use of:
·
Household detergents and bleaches.
·
Impregnated plastic or nylon pads that are not
described as suitable for non-stick saucepans.
·
Brillo pads, Ajax pads, steel wool pads.
·
Chemical oven cleaners, e.g. aerosols and
oven pads.
·
Rust stain, bath and sink stain removers.
·
Any of the above products may cause
damage to the hob.
·
It is dangerous to mix different cleaning products.
The chemicals in them may react with each other
with hazardous results.
·
SOILAGE FROM SUGAR SOLUTIONS MUST
BE REMOVED FROM THE HOB BEFORE THE
SYRUP HAS SET OTHERWISE DAMAGE TO
THE HOB SURFACE WILL OCCUR.
·
Avoid placing plastic items, foil or dishes on the
hot surface as this will cause damage to the hob.
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, oven doors and appliance sides
using a soft cloth and hot soapy water. To prevent
streaking on stainless steel models (where
applicable) finish with a soft cloth.
Any spillage on
the stainless steel finish must be wiped off
immediately.
Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and
should be avoided as they may dull the surface
finish.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE
CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE APPLIANCE AS
THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY
HAZARD.
