Care And Cleaning

To reduce the amount of cleaning always ensure that the hob and cooking utensils are
clean and dry before use.Regular use of cleaner conditioner is recommended for proper
care and protection of the hob surface. Apply conditioner before using the hob for the
first time. It contains a mild cleaning agent, so that subsequent applications may clean
off soil and apply a protective film at the same time.For stubborn stains or heavy soiling
use any of the following materials, and finish off with conditioner.
1. Cif,non-scratch scouring cream.
2. Liquid Gumption Kitchen Cleanser.
3. Special Powder Cleanser.
Powder Cleanser – Mineral deposits that are present in hard water, and some foods,
may cause ‘discolourations’ that appear in the form of grey or brown stains. The stains
sometimes appear to be in or under the glass surface.If there are some persistent stains
after using any of the other recommended cleaning materials,powder cleanser may be
applied, following the manufacturers instructions. Do not use abrasive cleaners or the
powder cleanser on the painted metal framework.
Cleaner Conditioner – Regular use of the conditioner will make the surface easier to
clean thus ensuring that years of heavy abrasive cleaning do not progressively dull the
surface.
If the hob is scratched through accident or misuse, soil that collects will appear as fine
brown lines;these are not fully removable but can be made less obvious by the daily use
of cleaner conditioner. Cooking performance is in no way affected by scratches on the
surface.
Pans with aluminium bases should be lifted rather than dragged across the hob surface.
This will avoid metal rubbing off the pan onto the glass.Such marks are easily removed
by the powder cleanser provided they are not subsequently baked on for long periods
at high temperatures.
Control Knobs – Wipe over the knobs with a soft cloth wrung out in warm soapy water
or mild non - abrasive cleaner.Then,after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water,
dry with a soft clean cloth.
