Care and cleaning
WARNING!
Before cleaning always allow the appliance
to cool down before switching off at 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.
Harsh abrasives and scourers should also
be avoided.
Cleaning the outside of the
appliance
• Do not use abrasive cleaning materials e.g.
abrasive cream cleaners, wire wool pads or
scourers on painted or printed finishes as
damage may occur. Regularly wipe over the
control panel, control knobs, handles, doors
and appliance sides using a soft cloth and
hot soapy water. To prevent streaking, finish
with a soft cloth.
• Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive
and should be avoided as they may dull the
surface finish. Any spillage on the
stainless steel finish must be wiped off
immediately.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to remove any of the control
knobs from the appliance as this may cause
damage and is a safety hazard.
Cleaning the hob
• Clean the hob using a mild abrasive.
• Take care not to damage the spark
electrodes. If the spark electrodes are
damaged the burners will not light. You can
remove the pan supports, burner caps and
burner crowns to clean them. Again take
care not to damage the spark electrodes.
• Clean the burner crowns and pan supports
by soaking them in very hot soapy water.
• Aluminium based saucepans can leave shiny
metal marks on the pan supports. You can
remove any stubborn stains by scouring with
a soap impregnated steel wool pad. If you
look after the burner crowns and pan
supports in this way they will stay reasonably
clean. However the surface will dull with
time. After cleaning the appliance parts, dry
them thoroughly before you put them back.
When replacing hob burner
parts
1. Crown to body. (Do not try to force the crown
on to the body). Make sure that the hole in
the crown is over the electrode. Check that
the location pegs sit in the slots in the body.
When the crown is in this position let it fall
freely on to the body. Check that the crown
can be moved slightly from side to side.
2. Cap to crown. Place cap centrally on the top
of crown (enamel side up). Move sideways
and front to back to check the cap is properly
fitted.
3. Check for ignition. If a burner will not light
then you need to check the crown and cap
positions.
