Care and Cleaning
TURN OFF COOKER AT MAIN WALL SWITCH BEFORE CLEANING
Before switching on again, ensure that all controls are in the
OFF
position.
Refer to instructions below for cleaning the 'Cookclean' removable side oven panels.
Ceramic hob
WARNING! If any crack should appear on the hob, isolate the cooker
from the mains supply. Do not use any part of the cooker but
contact your Belling Service Agent.
The ceramic hob is very hard wearing and with normal care should remain in good
condition. However, it is important that any spillage is dealt with before the hob is used
again, otherwise it will become baked on. Once the hob has cooled, remove any heavy
spillage or soiling with a metal spatula, palette knife or scraper, then we recommend
cleaning the hob surface with Belling Ceramic Hob Cleaner and Conditioner (available from
our Spares Department on 0870 458 9961) on a damp cloth to remove any marks. Wipe off
the residue of the cleaner with a soft damp cloth and polish the hob with a soft lint-free
cloth. It is important that the hob is cleaned regularly with Belling Ceramic Hob Cleaner &
Conditioner as it provides a protective film to keep the hob in good condition and assists in
keeping the hob clean. Whilst it is recommended that normal cleaning is carried out when
the hob has cooled, if jam, fruit or anything with a high sugar content is spilled on the hob,
or plastic or aluminium is melted onto the hob, clean it off immediately, as damage to the
hob can result. Switch off the hob and use a metal spatula, palette knife or scraper to
remove the spillage.
TAKE CARE,
as the spillage and the hob may be very hot. When the
hob has cooled, clean as usual with Belling Ceramic Hob Cleaner & Conditioner.
Do not use scouring powders or paste, wire wool scouring pads, or oven cleaners on the
hob as these can cause damage to the hob surface.
If you require further Belling Ceramic Hob Cleaner & Conditioner please contact our Spares
Department on 0870 458 9961.
Control Panel
Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.
Do not use
oven
cleaners or aerosols scouring pads or abrasive powder for cleaning the plastic knobs, as
damage will occur.
How 'Cookclean' Oven Liners Work
The surfaces of the 'Cookclean' oven liners are treated on the mottled face with a special
vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils at temperatures of 220°C or above, the
special surface enables these soils to be slowly destroyed. The higher the temperature the
more effective it is. In most cases normal cooking operation at this temperature will permit
this cleaning operation to proceed during cooking. However if higher cooking temperatures
are not used regularly it may be necessary, to prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven at a
higher temperature setting of 230°C for a couple of hours. This may be necessary once a
month or once every two or three months, depending on the type and amount of oven
cooking.
'Cookclean Panels'
It should not normally be necessary to clean the 'Cookclean' panels in water. If the user
feels it is desirable to do so, remove the rod shelf and the side panels and wash them in
warm soapy water, followed by rinsing in clear water.
Do not use enzyme/biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or oven chemical
cleaners of any kind.
Do not rub the surface dry as it can damage the 'Cookclean' finish. After cleaning,
replace the panels immediately and run the oven at maximum setting for about 30
minutes to prevent deterioration of the enamel.
