BEFORE CLEANING ALWAYS ALLOW
THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE
APPLIANCE 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
should also be avoided to prevent damaging the
stainless steel painted finishes. See 'Cleaning the
Outside of the Appliance' on page 22.
CLEANING THE HOB
The hotplate
Clean the hotplate top using a mild abrasive such as
'Cif'. Take care not to damage the spark electrodes.
If the spark electrodes are damaged the burners will
not light.
You can remove the pan supports, burner caps and
burner crowns to clean them. Again take care not to
damage the spark electrodes.
If any food spills during cooking you can place the
pan on another burner to finish cooking. Then you
can remove the dirty parts and clean them before the
spill 'burns on'.
Clean the burner crowns by soaking them in very hot
soapy water. You can remove any stubborn stains by
scouring with a soap filled pad such as 'Brillo'. If you
look after the burner crowns in this way they will stay
reasonably clean. However the surface will dull with
time.
Aluminium based saucepans can leave shiny metal
marks on the pan supports. Clean the pan supports
regularly to remove the marks using a mild abrasive
like 'Cif' with a soft scourer. For more stubborn
marks you can use a soap-filled pad such as 'Brillo'.
After cleaning the appliance parts, dry them
thoroughly before you put them back.
When replacing hotplate burner parts
1. Crown to body
(Do not try to force the crown on to the body).
Make sure that the hole in the crown is over the
electrode. Check that the two longer location pegs sit
in the slots in the body. When the crown is in this
position let it fall freely on to the body. Check that the
crown can be moved slightly from side to side.
2. Cap to crown
Place cap centrally on the top of crown (enamel side
up). Move sideways and front to back to check the
cap is properly fitted.
3. Check for ignition
If a burner will not light then you need to check the
crown and cap positions.
