Other Ceramic Hob Cleaning Materials
Do use:
Cleaner Conditioner should be used
regularly to clean and protect the cooking
surface. If you run out, you may
temporarily use one or more of these:
1. Jif Cream Cleaner
2. Liquid Gumption
3. Baking Soda as cleaning powder
4. Flash
Do not use:
1. Household detergents and bleaches.
2. Impregnated plastic or nylon pads as
these will scratch the surface, e.g.
Scotchbrite General Kitchen Scourer,
Vileda Super Scourer.
3. Metal Pads; these will scratch and
mark, e.g. Brillo pads, Ajax Pads, steel
wool pads.
4. Household abrasive powders except
where specified; these will scratch
depending on the pressure applied in
use.
5. Chemical oven cleaners, e.g.,
aerosols and oven pads. These are
caustic cleaners and may etch the
surface.
6. Rust stain, bath and sink stain removers
as these will mark and etch the surface.
7. 'Delete' polishing cleanser.
How to deal with burned-on spots:
1. Make sure area to be cleaned is cool.
2. The careful use of a stainless steel razor
in a patent holder, held at an angle of
approximately 30° can be used to
remove stubborn soilage from the
cooled hob. ,
3. Use the Cleaner Conditioner and
finally wipe the hob clean with kitchen
paper or a dry cloth.
How to deal with metal marks:
Metal deposits 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 based saucepans
are well scrubbed on the base to remove
any rough edges to 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
soilage. 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 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
