Cleaning the hob
• Allow the appliance to cool down completely before cleaning.
• Clean the enamelled parts of the cooker after every use. Use a soft cloth
or sponge, dampened with warm water and mild detergent.
• Wipe the hob thoroughly. Remove all food residues and liquid spills from
the top of the hotplates and around the rims.
• Wipe the stainless steel trim ring with a clean, damp cloth and
dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Any change in colour is a normal
characteristic of stainless steel and will not affect performance. A stainless
steel cleaner may be used to clean the trim ring.
Cleaning the solid hotplates
Cleaning of the elements on your cooktop is essential and we recommended
cleaning on a weekly basis.
• For light soiling and everyday cleaning, simply wipe with a moist cloth.
• For dirty hotplates with stubborn soiling, soak the element for a few
minutes with warm water, then clean it using a plastic scourer or soft
brush. (Do not use a steel scourer or metallic abrasive!) Any spills or marks
that still remain can be burnt off by operating the element on high without
a pan for 2–3 minutes. When the element has cooled, clean it as per
above.
• Alternatively, you can use a commercially available cleaner for thorough
weekly cleaning. But be careful to completely remove the cleaner
afterwards and try the hotplate by running the element for a short time.
• After cleaning, dry the element by warming on low heat for approximately
30 seconds. Then apply a thin coating of a solid hotplate protector (or
cooking oil) to prevent rust or corrosion.
NOTE: The elements are not warranted against rusting and must be
protected accordingly.
