Care and Cleaning

TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH BEFORE CLEANING.
BEFORE SWITCHING ON AGAIN, ENSURE THAT ALL CONTROLS ARE IN
THE OFF POSITION.
NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL WASHING POWDER, HARSH ABRASIVES,
SCOURING PADS, AEROSOL CLEANERS OR OVEN CHEMICAL CLEANERS
OF ANY KIND.
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.
Apply conditioner before using the hob for the first time. It contains a
mild cleaning agent, so that subsequent applications may clean off soil and
apply a protective film at the same time. For stubborn stains or heavy
soiling use any of the following materials, and finish off with conditioner.
1. Cif, non-scratch scouring cream.
2. Liquid Gumption Kitchen Cleanser.
3. Special Powder Cleanser.
1. If the hob is scratched through accident or misuse, soil that collects will
appear as fine brown lines; these are not fully removable but can be
made less obvious by the daily use of cleaner conditioner. Cooking
performance is in no way affected by scratches on the surface.
2. Pans with aluminium bases should be lifted rather than dragged across
the hob surface. This will avoid metal rubbing off the pan onto the
glass. Such marks are easily removed by the powder cleanser, provided
they are not subsequently baked on for long periods at high
temperatures.
In the unlikely event of the ceramic hob surface cracking, isolate the cooker
by switching it off at the
main switch, and contact the nearest service
centre. Do not continue to use the cooker until it is repaired.
Wipe with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.
It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to prevent any build
up of soiling. The recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over the
trims with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water or mild non-abrasive
cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner on a small area of trim which is not
noticeable in normal use). Then, after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear
water, dry with a soft clean cloth.
Wipe over with a soft cloth wrung out in warm soapy water. To dry, gently
wipe over with a clean soft cloth.
TAKE EXTRA CARE WHEN WIPING OVER METALLIC PAINTWORK.
DO NOT USE SCOURING PADS AND ABRASIVE CLEANERS, THESE WILL
SPOIL THE APPEARANCE OF YOUR APPLIANCE.
