Cleaning burned-on spills
Make sure that the residual heat indicators are off and that
the hob is cool. Remove the excess burned-on substance with
a single-edged razor scraper. Hold the scraper at an angle of
about 30° to the surface and then scrape off the burned-on
matter (Fig.3-1).
Once you have removed as much as possible with the scraper,
follow the ‘Daily care’ procedure outlined above.
To remove metal rub-off
Sliding pans on the hob – especially aluminium or copper
pans – can leave marks on the surface. These marks often
appear like scratches but can easily be removed using the
procedure described previously for ‘Cleaning spills’. If the
rub-off marks are especially stubborn, use a cleaning cream
together with the razor scraper, as described in ‘Cleaning
burned-on spills’.
Essential information
Allow the hob to cool and isolate the electricity supply before
carrying out any thorough cleaning.
Never use paint solvents, washing soda, caustic cleaners,
biological powders, bleach, chlorine based bleach cleaners,
coarse abrasives or salt. Do not mix different cleaning products
– they may react together with hazardous results.
All parts of the hob can be cleaned with hot soapy water
– but take care that no surplus water seeps into the appliance.
Remember to switch on the electricity supply before re-
using the hob.
We have developed a range of cleaning products that
give maximum performance without damaging the hob
surface, in particular a Ceramic Hob Cleaner set with scraper.
More information is available in the Cookware Collection
brochure supplied with your hob and on our website, www.
rangemaster.co.uk.
Regular cleaning is recommended. For easier cleaning, wipe
away any spillages immediately.
Daily care
First of all, make sure that all residual heat indicators are
off and that the cooking surface is cool. Apply a small dab
of ceramic cleaning cream in the centre of each area to be
cleaned. Dampen a clean paper towel and work the cream
onto the cooking surface. As a final step, wipe the cooking
surface with a clean, dry paper towel.
Cleaning spills
For spills and boil-overs that occur while cooking, turn off the
unit and wipe the area surrounding the hot zone with a clean
paper towel. If a spill (other than a sugary substance) is on the
hot zone, do not clean until the unit has completely cooled
down and then follow the instructions below, ‘Cleaning
burned-on spills’.
If you accidentally melt anything on the surface, or if you spill
foods with a high sugar content (preserves, tomato sauce,
fruit juice, etc.), remove the spill IMMEDIATELY with a razor
scraper, while the unit is still hot.
IMPORTANT: Use an oven glove to protect your hand from
potential burns.
Scrape major spills or melted material from the cooking zone
and push into a cold area. Then turn the unit ‘OFF’ and allow
it to cool before cleaning further. After the cooking surface
cools down and the residual heat indicator lights go off,
follow the ‘Daily care’ procedure outlined above.
