MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before carrying out any maintenance and cleaning
operations, make sure that the appliance is ISOLA-
TED from the electricity supply.
Helpful Tips
• Make sure the bottom of utensils and cooking areas
are clean and dry.
• Select the correct heat settings and use saucepans
large enough to accommodate the food to eliminate
boilovers and splattering.
• If possible, wipe up food spills from adjacent heating
areas before using the areas for cooking.
Note
• Use recommended ceramic hob cleaners only.
Cleaning
• To keep exterior trims and control panel in a spotless
condition, wipe after each use with a warm soapy
cloth.
• Wipe the control knobs with a damp cloth, which has
been wrung out in hot, soapy water, then dry tho-
roughly.
• Remove any food spills on the hob as soon as
possible with a damp cloth.
• Make sure that the hob is cool before applying any
cleaning materials.
Ceramic Hobs
Use Cleaner Conditioner daily. As it cleans, it leaves a
protective coating of silicone on the smooth surface,
which helps to prevent scratches and abrasions in
which food particles can collect. It also helps to prevent
build up of mineral deposits and will make future clean-
ing easier.
• Apply a dab of cleaner in the centre of each cooking
zone to be cleaned (for normal cleaning, start with
about 5 ml spoonful of cleaner, apply more if needed).
Dampen a cloth and then proceed to clean the hob.
To remove more stubborn marks use a slightly dam-
pened non-stick pan cleaner (e.g. Scotchbrite or
Vileda).
• Wipe off this application with another clean damp
cloth and dry thoroughly.
• Any smearing or hazing on the surface can be
removed with a lightly dampened cloth and then be
polished with a soft dry cloth.
Note
• If a wet paper towel is used to remove spills from a
warm cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns.
• Do not use a sponge or dishcloth. They will leave a
film of water and possible detergent on heating
areas, which will turn brown and resemble discoloura-
tion, next time the area is heated. If this happens,
apply Cleaner Conditioner to remove it.
