BEFORE CLEANING THE APPLIANCE,
ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO
COOL THE APPLIANCE DOWN BEFORE
SWITCHING OFF THE ELECTRICITY
SUPPLY.
CLEANING MATERIALS
Before using any cleaning materials on your
appliance, 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. Multi-surface anti-bacterial
products should not be used on the ceramic hob or
on the surrounding trims.
CLEANING THE BRASS PLATED
HANDLES
(Where applicable)
It is strongly recommended that only soapy water is
used for cleaning the handles. ANY OTHER
CLEANING MATERIALS WILL DULL THE BRASS
PLATED FINISH.
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.
If Hob Brite is unavailable, one or more of the
cleaning agents below may be used temporarily:
a) Cif Cream Cleaner
b) Baking Soda
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.
TO REMOVE BURNT ON SOILAGE
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.
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.
