Care and Cleaning
Note:
We do not recommend the use of decorative covers over the hot hotplates as
these can hold condensation and cause corrosion.Accidental operation with a cover in
place can cause intense heat.Never place saucepan lids on the hotplates, as this may
cause corrosion.

Ceramic hotplates (C361E, C461E, C365E and R365E):
Clean your Creda Ceramic hob top regularly and avoid repeated burning of encrusted
contamination.
Your choice of cleaner will depend on the degree of soiling involved (see below).
minor soiling,where the contamination has not burnt hard,can be wiped off with a clean
wet cloth
major soiling and strongly-adhering burnt encrustation can be quickly and easily removed
with a razor-blade scraper
hard water stains, grease spots and discoloration having a metallic sheen can be
removed with ‘Easy Do Cleaner Powder’
always condition hob after cleaning by using ‘Easy Do Conditioner’or ‘Hob Brite’. Apply a
small amount of conditioner with a clean damp cloth or paper towel. Rub vigorously.
Remove excess with a clean damp cloth or paper towel.Polish with a clean cloth or paper
towel before the conditioner dries.
Detergent residues must always be completely removed with a clean wet cloth, (even if the
instructions for use suggest otherwise), as they can have an etching effect when reheated.Then
wipe dry.
To maintain hob in good condition, we would recommend regular use of the ‘Easy Do Powder
Cleanser’.
Sprinkle Powder Cleanser on a clean damp cloth or paper towel and rub vigorously for 3 to 4 min-
utes.Remove all residue with a clean damp cloth or paper towel.Then use conditioner to protect
the hob.
For more stubborn marks,mix a small amount of the powder cleanser with ‘Cif Lemon Juice’(from
a bottle) and carefully spread over the affected area.Cover with a damp paper towel and leave for
a minimum of 15 minutes.Rub vigorously.Remove excess with a clean damp cloth or paper towel
before the conditioner dries.Polish with a clean cloth or paper towel.
Easy Do products are available from many electrical retailers, CredaCare Parts Department and
Creda Spares Distributors.Homecare ‘Hob Brite’is available from leading Supermarkets.
Electric sealed hotplates (C161E and C261E):
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 Credacare Spares 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 sur-
face.
