TO REMOVE BURNT ON SOILAGE
We strongly recommend the use of a Ceramic Hob
Scraper (incorporating a single edge razor blade) to
remove spillage on the hob, in particular sugar
solutions, which if not removed can cause permanent
damage.
1. Make sure the ceramic glass is cool.
2. Use a ceramic hob scraper with care at an angle
of 30° to remove as much soilage as possible.
3. Use Bar-Keepers Friend or Hob Brite to finish off
as directed above.
TO REMOVE DISCOLOURATIONS OR
WHITE AND SILVER MARKS
These marks sometimes give the impression of
being in or underneath the hob glass. They can
almost always be removed provided they have not
become excessively burnt on. Follow the instructions
under 'To Remove more Stubborn Marks' above.
If this is unsuccessful, make up a paste of one part
water to three parts Cream of Tartar and leave on
the discoloured areas overnight. The marks should
be easily removable the next day provided they have
not been excessively burnt on. The paste should be
thoroughly washed off afterwards.
HINTS AND TIPS
TO REDUCE HOB SOILAGE:
l
Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and the
cooking area are clean and dry before cooking
begins.
l
Ensure saucepans are large enough to accommodate
food to avoid boil overs.
l
If possible, wipe up spills and splatters as they
occur, but take care to avoid steam burns.
l
Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge to clean the
hob. These may leave a layer of soiled detergent
on the hob surface which will burn and discolour
the next time the hob is used.

l
Avoid the use of:
l
Household detergents and bleaches.
l
Impregnated plastic or nylon pads that are
not described as suitable for non-stick
saucepans.
l
Brillo pads, Ajax pads, steel wool pads.
l
Chemical oven cleaners, e.g. aerosols and
oven pads.
l
Rust stain, bath and sink stain removers.
l
Any of the above products may cause
damage to the hob.
l
It is dangerous to mix different cleaning products.
The chemicals in them may react with each other
with hazardous results.
l
SOILAGE FROM SUGAR SOLUTIONS MUST
BE REMOVED FROM THE HOB BEFORE THE
SYRUP HAS SET OTHERWISE DAMAGE TO
THE HOB SURFACE WILL OCCUR.
l
Avoid placing plastic items, aluminium foil or
dishes on the hot surface as this will cause
damage to the hob.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE COOKER
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials eg Hob
Brite, Brillo pads or scours on painted or printed
finishes as damage may occuror . Regularly wipe
over the control panel, oven doors and cooker sides
using a soft cloth and liquid detergent.
CLEANING THE MEAT TIN, GRILL PAN,
GRILL PAN GRID, TRIVET AND OVEN
SHELVES
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can
be washed in the dishwasher.
The grill pan, meat tin, trivet, and oven shelves may
be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad.
The grill pan grid should be cleaned using hot soapy
water. Soaking first in soapy water will make cleaning
easier.
