Cooker Care; Cleaning - Rangemaster 110 Ceramic User's Manual & Installation Instructions

NEVER allow anyone to climb or stand on the hob.
n n
Do not stand or rest heavy objects on the hob. Although the
ceramic surface is very strong, a sharp blow or sharp falling
object (e.g. a salt cellar) might cause the surface to crack or
break (Fig.1-3).
Should a crack appear in the surface, disconnect the
n n
appliance immediately from the supply and arrange
for its repair.
Always LIFT pans off the hob. Sliding pans may cause marks
and scratches (Fig.1-4). Always turn the control to the OFF
position before removing a pan.
Take care when placing hot lids onto the hob
n n
surface. Lids that have been covering boiling or
steaming foods can 'stick' to the ceramic glass.
Should this occur, DO NOT attempt to lift the lid
off the hotplate: this may damage the hob surface.
Instead, slide the lid to the edge of the hob surface
and remove.
DO NOT place anything between the base of the pan and the
hob surface (e.g. asbestos mats, aluminium foil, wok stand).
Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may damage
n n
both the hob and pan.
Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware or
other glazed containers are suitable for hob cooking; others
may break because of the sudden change in temperature.
The ceramic surface should be washed after use in order to
prevent it from becoming scratched or dirty. However, you
should clean the hob with caution as some cleaners can
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners/pads, oven aerosols/pads
or stain removers on the surface.
We recommend that you avoid wiping any surface unit areas
until they have cooled and the indicator light has gone off.
Sugar spills are the exception to this (see 'Cleaning your
Cooker'). After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to
remove any cleaning cream residue.

Cooker Care

As steam can condense to water droplets on the cool outer
trim of the oven, it may be necessary during cooking to wipe
away any moisture with a soft cloth. This will also help to
prevent soiling and discolouration of the oven exterior by
cooking vapours (Fig.1-5).

Cleaning

In the interests of hygiene and safety, the cooker should be
kept clean at all times as a build up in fats and other food
stuff could result in a fire.
Clean only the parts listed in this guide.
Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe
spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
