3. Cleaning Your Hob
Essential information
Allow the cooker to cool and then isolate the electricity
supply before carrying out any thorough cleaning.
Never use paint solvents, washing soda, caustic
cleaners, biological powders, bleach, chlorine based
bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt. Do not
mix different cleaning products – they may react
together with hazardous results.
All parts of the hob can be cleaned with hot soapy water
– but take care that no surplus water seeps into the appliance.
Remember to switch on the electricity supply before re-using
the cooker.
Regular cleaning is recommended. For easier cleaning, wipe
away any spillages immediately.
Hotplate Burners
The burner heads and caps can be removed for cleaning
(Fig.3-1). Make sure they are absolutely dry before replacing
them.
The single ring burners
When refitting the burner head, ensure that the notch and
opening lines up with the electrode in the base. Check that
the burner head is level and that the cap is fitted centrally on
the burner head.
Cleaning Table
Refer to the cleaning tables (Table 3-1 and Table 3-2) for
details on cleaning the hob.
The cleaners listed are available from supermarkets or
electrical retailers. For enamelled surfaces use a cleaner
that is approved fro use on vitreous enamel.
