• Rust stain, bath and sink stain removers.
• Any of the above products may cause damage to
the hob.
• It is dangerous to mix different cleaning products.
The chemicals in them may react with each other
with hazardous results.
• Sugar solutions must be removed from the hob
before the syrup has set otherwise damage to the
hob surface will occur.
• Avoid placing plastic items, foil or dishes on the hot
surface as this will cause damage to the hob.
Cleaning the grill/oven furniture
• All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can
be washed in the dishwasher.
• The grill pan, grill pan grid and oven shelves may
be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool
pad. Soaking first in hot soapy water will make
cleaning easier.
Cleaning inside the grill and oven
compartments
• The vitreous enamel main oven and grill
compartment can be cleaned using normal oven
cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers
instructions are followed and that all parts are well
rinsed afterwards.
Aerosol cleaners must not come into contact with
elements, the door seal, or any painted finishes as
this may cause damage.
Cleaning the door(s)
To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass
panels avoid the use of the following:
• Household detergents and bleaches.
• Soap impregnated pads unsuitable for nonstick
saucepans.
• Abrasive cleaning pads, scorers and steel wool
pads.
• Chemical oven pads or aerosols.
• Rust removers.
• Bath/Sink stain removers.
To remove burnt on foodstuff
• We strongly recommend the use of a Ceramic Hob
Scraper (incorporating a single edge razor blade)
to remove spillage on the hob, in particular sugar
solutions, which if not removed can cause
permanent damage.
• Make sure the ceramic glass is cool.
• Use a ceramic hob scraper with care at an angle of
30° to remove as much foodstuff as possible.
• Use hob cleaner or cream cleaner 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 above under ‘To remove more stubborn
marks’.
• If this is unsuccessful, make up a paste of one part
water to three parts Cream of Tarter 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.
To reduce marking of the hob
• Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and the
cooking area is clean and dry before cooking
begins.
• Ensure saucepans are large enough to
accommodate food to avoid boil-over.
• If possible, wipe up spills and splatters as they
occur, but take care to avoid steam burns.
• Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge to clean the hob.
These may leave a layer of soiled detergent on the
hob surface, which will burn and discolour the next
time the hob is used.
Avoid the use of:
• Household detergents and bleaches.
• Impregnated plastic or nylon pads that are not
described as suitable for non-stick saucepans.
• Abrasive cleaning pads, scourers and steel wool
pads.
• Chemical oven cleaners, e.g. aerosols and oven
pads.
