Zanussi ZKC 6000W - Manual (Page 23)

To remove burnt on foodstuff
• We strongly recommend the use of a
Ceramic Hob Scraper (incorporating a single
edge razor blade) to remove spillage on the
hob, in particular sugar solutions, which if not
removed can cause permanent damage.
• Make sure the ceramic glass is cool.
• Use a ceramic hob scraper with care at an
angle of 30° to remove as much foodstuff as
possible.
• Use hob cleaner or cream cleaner to finish off
as directed above.
To remove discolourations or
white and silver marks
• These marks sometimes give the impression
of being in or underneath the hob glass.
They can almost always be removed
provided they have not become excessively
burnt on. Follow the instructions above under
‘To remove more stubborn marks’.
• If this is unsuccessful, make up a paste of
one part water to three parts Cream of Tarter
and leave on the discoloured areas overnight.
The marks should be easily removable the
next day provided they have not been
excessively burnt on. The paste should be
thoroughly washed off afterwards.
IMPORTANT!
To reduce marking of the hob
• Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and
the cooking area is clean and dry before
cooking begins.
• Ensure saucepans are large enough to
accommodate food to avoid boil-over.
• 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.
• Abrasive cleaning pads, scourers and 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.
• 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 grill/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.
