Drying
Important: After cleaning, dry the hotplates
thoroughly by switching on to a low-medium
setting for a few minutes.
Restoring
To maintain the appearance of your sealed
hotplates apply a little salt-free vegetable oil or
restorative agent periodically.
To apply vegetable oil: first heat the hotplate on a
medium setting for 30 seconds then turn off. Pour a
very small amount of salt-free oil onto a dry cloth or
kitchen paper. Apply a thin coat of oil to the
hotplate surface and wipe off any excess. Heat the
hotplate on a medium setting for 1 minute.
To apply restorative agent: first heat the hotplate
on a medium setting for 30 seconds then turn off.
Apply a very thin coating of Collo Electrol (using
the applicator). Heat a hotplate on a high setting
for 2-3 minutes to cure. Some smoke will occur,
this is normal and nontoxic. (NB: this product is a
restorative agent not a cleanser. It is available
from hardware stores).
Stainless steel parts: the stainless steel spill rings
may become straw coloured with use. Use a
proprietary stainless steel cleaner to remove this
straw discolouration. This also applies to the area
around the hotplates on stainless steel hobs.
Grease Filter
When cooking meat, the grease filter must be
fitted over the oven fan by clipping it over the
vents in the back panel. This will prevent a built-
up of fat on the fan impeller. Do not use abrasive
materials to clean the seal. The grease filter is
dishwasher proof.
When cooking is completed and the oven has
cooled down, remove the filter by pushing the
protruding tongue on the filter upward.
The oven accessories
1. Unscrew the fixing screws (A), then take
the side racks from the oven out. Wash the
racks and shelv by hand or in a
dishwasher. If very soiled, soak them first,
before cleaning with a steelwool pad.
2. Reassemble the parts following the same
procedure in reverse.
The baking trays and oven dish should be
wiped clean with paper towels, or washed by
hand when necessary. Any burnt-on food can
be removed using a suitable spatula.
