ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE
SUPPLY 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 BRASS PLATED HANDL
(Where applicable)
It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water
is used for cleaning the handles. ANY OTHER
CLEANING MATERIALS WILL DULL THE BRASS
PLATED FINISH.
CLEANING THE SEALED HOTPLATES
AND HOTPLATE TRIMS
In order to maintain the appearance of your cooker's
sealed 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 hotplate may be
removed with some abrasive cleaning agents. This is
not a fault and does not effect 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 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 sealed plate with
'Ajax' powder cleaner, 'Jif' 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' cream cleaner.
AFTER CLEANING
To maintain the appearance of the hotplates
occasionally apply a little salt free vegetable oil or
commercial restorative agent.
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' Hotplate Cleaning Cloth
following the manufacturers instructions.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
COOKER
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials eg Hob
Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed
finishes as damage may occur. Regularly wipe over
the control panel, oven doors and cooker sides using
a soft cloth and liquid detergent.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF
THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE
AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A
SAFETY HAZARD
