Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the
hob from the electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage can be removed more easily
than if it is left to cool.
The Hob Top
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth
well wrung out in warm water to which a little wasing
up liquid has been added. Avoid the use of the
following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick
saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, the
following product s are recommended:
- for stainless steel hobs use a proprietary stainless
steel cleaner;
- for other hobs use Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend.
If scratches or cracks are noticed, disconnect the appliance from the electrical
supply and call your nearest Service Force Centre.
Pan Supports
To keep the pan supports in the correct position,
they are mounted on metal pins located in the back
of the hob. After cleaning the hob, ensure the pan
supports are properly placed as shown in fig. 2.
The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If washing
them by hand, take care when drying them as the
enamelling process occasionally leaves rough
edges. If necessary, remove stubborn stains using
a paste cleaner.
The Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for
cleaning. The cap and crown of each burner are
secured with two screws. To separate the two pieces, lift the cap, turn it upside down, then
undo the two fixing screws as shown in fig. 3. After cleaning, reassemble the two parts
and refit the cap on its correct position on the burner. Wash the burner caps and crowns
