St George CC29/E - Routine Cleaning; Spills, Spatters and Accidents

CLEANING
AND MAINTENANCE
5.2 Routine Cleaning
If possible, the
cooktop should be wiped down after each use
to prevent dirt and grease build up. Ensure
all
controls are off and the
appliance is cool before cleaning. To clean the
exterior, wipe the control panel, knobs,
stainless steel and
enamel surfaces regularly using a warm,
damp, non-abrasive cloth. Mild detergents
may be
safely used on all of these surfaces. When
wiping stainless steel surfaces which have a brushed
finish, wipe in the
same direction as the brushing. The
pan supports (all models except CC
and 08) easily lift off and are dishwasher
safe.
The gas burner parts can be simply lifted off for
cleaning. After cleaning, check that the gas holes
are clear
before drying and correctly re-positioning them.
After cleaning make sure all surfaces
are thoroughly rinsed and then wiped
dry with a clean, soft cloth.
WARNING: Unclean
surfaces, especially if allowed to build
up, may in time damage or discolour
the appliance and
such stains may not be removable.
5.3 Spills, Spatters and Accidents
When using the appliance, it may
be soiled by food spills and spatters orforeign items
such as plastics accidentally
coming into contact with warm or hot surfaces.
Some foods, such as fruit juices (especially
citrus juices like
lemon juice) and vinegar's (i.e. acidic substances)
or sugar or foods containing sugar can
discolour or damage
enamel finishes.
The surfaces of
your appliance have durable finishes which are
resistant to wear and discoloration. However,
to
maintain the appearance
and durability of the finish any spills must be
wiped off immediately. This should be
done as soon as possible
and necessary precautions must
be taken to avoid injury from hot surfaces.
Once cool
the affected area should be thoroughly cleaned
and rinsed using non-abrasive, mild cleaning
detergents and
water.
