hazard if allowed to accumulate on the
appliance through lack of cleaning. In
extreme cases this may amount to misuse of
the appliance and could invalidate your
guarantee.
Do not use caustic pastes, abrasive cleaning
powders, coarse wire wool or any hard
implements as they will damage the
surfaces.
All parts of the appliance can be safely
cleaned with a cloth wrung out in hot soapy

Burner caps and heads
Important:
Allow burners to cool before
cleaning.
Caution: Hotplate burners can be damaged
by soaking, automatic dishwashers (or
dishwater powders/liquids), caustic pastes,
hard implements, coarse wire wool and
abrasive cleaning pastes.
For the burners to work safely, the slots in
the burner head, where the flames burn,
need to be kept clear of deposit. Clean with
a nylon brush, rinse and dry thoroughly.
Clean with a mild cream cleaner eg; Jif, or
use a moist soapy Brillo pad.
Note: Fixed burners (if fitted): Some versions
incorporate fixed burners. These burners
are secured to the hob with 2 screws. Fixed
burners must be cleaned whilst in position.
Make sure that the gap between the burner
and the hotplate does not become blocked
with grease.

Stainless steel surfaces
(stainless steel models only)

containing chlorides as they can
permanently damage the steel.
Some foods are corrosive, eg; vinegar, fruit
juices and salt, and they can mark or
damage stainless steel if they are left on the
surface for any length of time. Wipe any
spillage immediately.
Sharp objects can mark the surface of
stainless steel but will become less
noticeable with time.
