SUPPLY.
CLEANING MATERIALS
Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker,
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. Abrasives must
also be avoided to prevent damaging the stainless
steel or painted finishes. See 'Cleaning the Outside
of the Cooker' on page 28. Multi-surface
anti-bacterial products should not be used on the
ceramic hob or on the surrounding trims.
CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB
Make sure the ceramic glass is cool before cleaning.
It is important to clean the ceramic hob daily to
prevent soilage being burnt on.
Take care to avoid the hob trims when cleaning the
ceramic glass as they may be damaged by the
cleaning agents recommended.
DAILY CLEANING
Use the recommended Hob Brite Cleaner daily. If
soilage is not allowed to burn on it will be much
easier to clean off.
1. Apply a small amount of Hob Brite in the centre
of each area to be cleaned.
2. Dampen a clean paper towel or a plastic pad
made specially for non-stick saucepans and rub
vigorously until all marks are removed. This may
take a few minutes.
3. Wipe off residues of cleaner with another damp
paper towel and polish dry with a soft cloth.
TO REMOVE MORE STUBBORN MARKS
1. Bar-Keepers Friend may be used to clean off
more stubborn stains or to remove
discolourations.
It may be necessary to rub the marks hard for
several minutes.
2. Use a plastic pad specially for non-stick
saucepans with Bar-Keepers Friend for removal
of more stubborn soilage.
If Hob Brite is unavailable, one or more of the
cleaning agents below may be used temporarily:
a) Jif Cream Cleaner
b) Baking Soda
TO REMOVE BURNT ON SOILAGE
1. Make sure the ceramic glass is cool.
2. Use a ceramic hob scraper with care at an angle
of 30° to remove as much soilage as possible.
3. Use Bar-Keepers Friend or Hob Brite to finish off
as directed above.
TO REMOVE DISCOLOURATIONS OR
WHITE AND SILVER MARKS
These marks sometimes give the impression of
being in or underneath the hob glass. They can
almost always be removed provided they have not
become excessively burnt on. Follow the instructions
under 'To Remove more Stubborn Marks' above.
If this is unsuccessful, make up a paste of one part
water to three parts Cream of Tartar and leave on
the discoloured areas overnight. The marks should
be easily removable the next day provided they have
not been excessively burnt on. The paste should be
thoroughly washed off afterwards.
