Cleaning Your Cooker - Rangemaster 110 Electric User Manual

Cleaning your cooker

Essential information
Before thorough cleaning isolate the electricity
supply. Remember to switch on the electricity
supply before use.
Never use paint solvents, washing soda,
caustic cleaners, biological powders,
bleach, chlorine based bleach cleaners,
coarse abrasives or salt. Don't mix
different cleaning products - they may
react together with hazardous results.
Recommended cleaning materials are
shown in the table at the end of this
section.
If you want to move your cooker for cleaning,
see the section called 'Moving your cooker'.
All parts of the cooker can be cleaned with hot
soapy water - but take care that no surplus
water seeps into the appliance.
For cleaning materials see the 'Cleaning Table'
at the end of this section.
Grill
The grill pan and grid should be washed in hot
soapy water. After grilling meats or any foods
that soil, leave to soak for a few minutes in the
sink immediately after use. Stubborn particles
may be removed from the grid by using a nylon
brush.
Hob
It's very easy to clean the Hob with a
recommended cleaner.
CAUTION — Do not use abrasive cleaners or
pads, oven aerosols or pads or stain removers
on the surface.
Daily care
First of all, be sure that all heat indicator lights
are off and the cooking surface is cool. Apply
a small dab, about the size of a 10p piece, of
ceramic cooking cleaning cream in the centre
of each area to be cleaned. Dampen a clean
paper towel and work the cleaning cream on
the cooking surface as if you were cleaning a
window. As a fi nal step, wipe the cooking surface
with a clean, dry paper towel.
Cleaning for spills
For spills and boil-overs that occur while
cooking, turn the unit off and wipe the area
surrounding the hot zone with a clean paper
towel. If a spill (other than a sugary substance)
is on the hot zone, do not clean until the unit
is completely cooled down and follow the
instructions below ("Cleaning for burned-on
spills"). If you accidentally melt anything on
the cooking or if you spill foods with a high
sugar content (preserves, tomato sauce, etc.),
REMOVE the spill IMMEDIATELY with a razor
scraper, while the unit is still hot. IMPORTANT:
Use an oven glove to protect your hand from
potential burns. Scrape the major spill or melted
material from the cooking zone and push into a
cold area. Then, turn the unit "OFF" and allow to
cool before cleaning further. After the cooking
surface cools down and the heat indicator lights
go off, use the daily care procedure as outlined
above.
Cleaning for burned-on spills
Be sure that the heat indicator lights are off
and the hob is cool. Remove excess burned-on
substance with a single-edged razor scraper.
Hold the scraper at approximately a 30° angle to
the surface and scrape off the burned-on matter
as you would scrape paint off of a window.
IMPORTANT: Take care when using a sharp
scraper.
When you have removed as much as possible
with the scraper clean using the daily care
procedure as described above.
To remove metal rub-off
Sliding pans on the hob - especially aluminium
or copper pans can leave marks on the surface.
These marks often appear like scratches, but
can be easily removed using the procedure
described above for cleaning spills. If the rub-off
marks are especially stubborn, use the cleaning
cream together with the razor scraper, using the
technique described above.
Control Panel and Doors
The control panel and control knobs should
only be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung out
in clean hot soapy water - but take care that
no surplus water seeps into the appliance.
Wipe with a clean dampened cloth then polish
