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 PLATED HANDLES
(Where applicable)
It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water
is used for cleaning the handles. ANY OTHER
CLEANING MATERIALS WILL DULL THE PLATED
FINISH.
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 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 PANEL AS THIS
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY
HAZARD.
CLEANING THE GRILL AND OVEN
FURNITURE
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can
be washed in the dishwasher.
The grill pan, grill pan grid and oven shelves may be
cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad.
Soaking first in hot soapy water will make cleaning
easier.
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND
GRILL COMPARTMENTS
The top, sides and back of the main oven
compartment are coated with a special Stayclean
coating.
The Stayclean surfaces inside the main oven should
not be cleaned manually. See page 27 ‘Care of
Stayclean Surfaces’.
