Zanussi VC9516 Instructions For The Use & Care page 22

How to deal with burned-on spots:
1. Make sure area to be cleaned is
cool.
The careful use of a stainless steel
razor in a patent holder, held at
angle of approximately 30° can be
used to remove stubborn soilage
from the cooled hob.
. Use the Cleaner Conditioner and
finally wipe the hob clean with
kitchen paper or dry cloth.
2.
How to deal with metal marks:
Metal deposit can be identified as
grey/brown marks on the ceramic surface
and are usually caused by dragging
saucepans with aluminium bases,
particularly when new, across the
ceramic surface.
To avoid such marks, protect the surface
of the hob with cleaner conditioner and
lift the saucepans across the heated areas.
Ensure new aluminium saucepans are
well scrubbed on the base to remove any
rough edges or take off any deposits left
from manufacture.
The marks are easily removed, providing
they are cleaned off straight away using
the recommended cleaners, and are not
allowed to burn onto the ceramic surface
for long periods.
About Discolouration
Discolourations are on the surface, not
in it. By following proper care and
cleaning recommendations the surface
will remain clean and bright.
The cooking surface should be cleaned
thoroughly each day to remove all visible
soil. Cleaner Conditioner has been
especially formulated for this purpose
and does an excellent job. Remember,
use only as much as is necessary. If used
too generously, a heavy film may be left
21
that will burn on and discolour when the
elements are heated.
If, after the use of the recommended
materials, there are some persistent stains
or marks on the hob,the hob should be
cleaned using "Ajax" or "Vim" Powder
cleaner. This will remove any
accumulated residue of Cleaner
Conditioner and, if applied with a
vigorous scrubbing with a non-
impregnated plastic or nylon pad for
non-stick pans, for at least three to four
minutes, it will also take off the film
caused by salts and minerals before it has
an opportunity to discolour or develop
into a problem. If, after following the
above instructions, discolouration
persists, a paste made up of one part
water to three parts cream of tartar
should be left on the hob overnight. This
will remove most discolourations
provided they have not been excessively
burned on. The paste should be
thoroughly washed off afterwards.
Finish off with a touch of Cleaner
Conditioner, polish to a high lustre and
your top will continue to look as good as
new.
Any smearing or hazing on the surface
may be removed with lightly dampened
kitchen paper and polished with a soft
dry cloth.
