Maintenance And Cleaning; The Hob Top; The Hotplates - AEG 111 K - W/D/G Operating Instructions Manual

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must
DISCONNECT the hob from the electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage can be
removed more easily than if it is left to cool.

The Hob Top

Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in
warm water to which a little wasing up liquid has been added. Avoid
the use of the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is recommended that a
cleaning product such as Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend is used.

The Hotplates

Spills onto the actual plate should be removed using warm water and
a soft brush, nylon or plastic scourer. To keep the plates looking as
new, hotplate conditioner can be purchased from most hardware
stores, e.g. "4 Hob" by HomeCare Products (follow the manufacturer's
instruction for use).
Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop of olive oil on a kitchen
towel to avoid rust. It is important to note that the plate will smoke a
little and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when next used.
