Hotpoint C150E - Manual (Page 20)

1. Plastic or nylon pads / scourers, these may scratch the surface.
2. Household abrasive powders.
3. Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads.
Caustic cleaners such as these will etch the surface and attack the metal
frame.
4. Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface.
The cleaning of sealed hotplates should be done when they are cold, using a
soap filled Brillo pad, following the grain of the hotplate. This will ensure that
any stubborn, burnt on spillages are removed. Wipe over with a damp clean
cloth, making sure that all the cleaner has been removed. Finally, turn on
hotplate to warm for a few minutes, then smear with a little cooking oil to
provide a protective coating, or the restorative agent Homecare Four Hob,
available from our Parts department or leading supermarkets. The bezels will
mellow with use to a burnished gold colour, a soap filled Brillo pad will help to
keep them bright, care should be taken not to damage the vitreous enamel
hob surface.
Remove the grill pan and the wire grid food support, it is best to wash these
items immediately after use to prevent stains from being burnt on when used
again. Wipe out the Grill compartment, use a fine steel wool soap pad to
remove stubborn stains from the grill runners the grill deflector plate and the
floor of the compartment.
Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth. Do
not use cream cleaners, oven cleaners or aerosols, scouring pads or abrasive
powder for cleaning the plastic knobs as damage will occur.
Wipe over the door outer panel with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water,
then afterwiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean
cloth.
Do not use scouring pads or abrasive powder which may scratch the
surface.
Take care during cleaning not to damage or distort the Door Seal. Do not lift the
Door Seal from the Oven Front Frame, if necessary remove the seal by carefully
unhooking the corner clips.
