WARNING: Do not use corrosive cleaning products on this appliance.
Use only non-toxic products with a neutral pH between 6 and 9.
Corrosive (acidic or alkaline) cleaners may leave a toxic residue on the
cooking surface, damage the electronic circuitry, components, or fascia
labels, and void the Product Warranty. They may also drastically reduce
the life expectancy of the appliance.
4.1 Safety considerations
4.2 Environmental considerations
4.3 Cleaning the cooktop
• Gloves should be worn to protect against heat and skin irritation
• Wear safety glasses
• Beware of hot steam if using heat when cleaning
• Be aware that the hotplate may be hot
• Follow Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and Safe Work guidelines
Your local or national Environmental Protection authority should be contacted for advice on
how to safely dispose of fats and oils.
Note: Pressure washers may lead to ingress of water into sensitive
components and reduce the expected working life of the appliance.
1. Scrape excess food residue from hotplate
2. Turn appliance on and allow to heat for approximately 6 minutes
3. Pour cold water and cleaning product onto the hotplate, avoiding any vents around the
edge of the cooktop
4. While avoiding direct contact with any steam, wash the hotplate. Use a spatula to
remove stubborn residue
5. After the hotplate has cooled down, remove burnt-on residue using a ‘Scotch Brite’
or similar stainless-steel pot scourer. Do not use a mild steel scourer, as this will
contaminate the stainless-steel hotplate and cause rust. A battery powered sander
fitted with an industrial scourer pad may also be used
6. Rinse the hotplate with water or wipe with a clean cloth or paper towel
NOTE: If using the Christie pH neutral or other enzyme-based cleaners, no heat is required.
Skip steps 2 and 3.
