Cleaning your cooker
Essential information
Before thorough cleaning isolate the electricity
supply. Remember to switch on the electricity
supply before use.
Never use paint solvents, washing soda,
caustic cleaners, biological powders,
bleach, chlorine based bleach cleaners,
coarse abrasives or salt. Don’t mix
different cleaning products - they may
react together with hazardous results.
Recommended cleaning materials are
shown in the table at the end of this
section.
If you want to move your cooker for cleaning,
see the section called ‘Moving your cooker’.
All parts of the cooker can be cleaned with hot
soapy water - but take care that no surplus
water seeps into the appliance.
For cleaning materials see the ‘Cleaning Table’
at the end of this section.
Hotplate burners
Some models have a separate trim ring, which
fits on the burner head.
The burner heads and caps can be removed
for cleaning. Make sure they are absolutely dry
before replacing.
A cap, B head, C notch, D base, E electrode
When refitting the burner head, make sure that
the notch lines up with the electrode or hole in
the base. Check that the burner head is level
and that the cap is fitted centrally on the burner
head.
Griddle
Always clean the griddle after use. Allow to
cool completely before removing. Immerse the
griddle plate in hot soapy water. Use a soft
cloth or, for stubborn stains, a nylon washing up
brush.
NEVER USE CAUSTIC OR ABRASIVE
CLEANERS AS THESE WILL DAMAGE THE
SURFACE.
Control Panel and Doors
The control panel and control knobs should
only be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung out
in clean hot soapy water - but take care that
no surplus water seeps into the appliance.
Wipe with a clean dampened cloth then polish
with a dry cloth. The oven doors should only be
cleaned with a soft cloth wrung out in clean hot
soapy water.
Grill
The face of the grill burner will darken with
use - this is perfectly normal. Any fat or grease
will burn off. Do not try to clean it - the small
holes could get blocked and affect burner
performance.
The grill pan and grid should be washed in hot
soapy water. After grilling meats or any foods
that soil, leave to soak for a few minutes in the
sink immediately after use. Stubborn particles
may be removed from the grid by using a nylon
brush.
