Care and cleaning
WARNING!
Before cleaning always allow the appliance 
to cool down before switching off at the 
electricity supply. 
 
Cleaning materials
•
Before using any cleaning materials on your 
appliance, 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 and scourers should also be 
avoided. Multi-surface anti-bacterial cleaning 
products should not be used on the ceramic 
hob or on the surrounding trims. 
Cleaning the outside of the 
appliance 
•
Do not use abrasive cleaning materials e.g. 
abrasive cream cleaners, wire wool pads or 
scourers on painted or printed finishes as 
damage may occur. Regularly wipe over the 
control panel, handles, doors and appliance 
sides using a soft cloth and hot soapy water. 
To prevent streaking, finish with a soft cloth. 
•
Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive 
and should be avoided as they may dull the 
surface finish.  Any spillage on the 
stainless steel finish must be wiped off 
immediately. 
Cleaning the ceramic hob
•
Make sure the ceramic glass is cool before 
cleaning. It is important to clean the ceramic 
hob daily to prevent foodstuff being burnt on. 
•
Take care to avoid the hob trims when 
cleaning the ceramic glass as they may be 
damaged by the cleaning agents. 
Daily cleaning
•
Use a hob-cleaning product specifically 
designed for ceramic hobs daily. If foodstuff 
is not allowed to burn on it will be much 
easier to clean off. 
•
Apply a small amount of hob cleaner in the 
centre of each area to be cleaned. 
•
Dampen a clean paper towel or a plastic pad 
designed for non-stick saucepans and rub 
vigorously until all marks are removed. This 
may take a few minutes. 
•
Wipe off residues of cleaner with another 
damp paper towel and polish dry with a soft 
cloth. 
•
If hob cleaner is unavailable, one or more of 
the cleaning agents below may be used 
temporarily: 
•
Cream Cleaner
•
Baking Soda
To remove more stubborn 
marks 
•
Cream cleaner may be used to clean off 
more stubborn stains or to remove 
discolouration. 
•
It may be necessary to rub the marks hard 
for several minutes. 
•
Use a plastic pad designed for non-stick 
saucepans with cream cleaner for removal of 
more stubborn stains.
