Care and Cleaning

Electric sealed hotplates
The cleaning of sealed hotplates should be done when
they are cold, using a soap filled Brillo pad, following
the grain of the hotplate. This will ensure that any
stubborn, burnt on spillages are removed. Wipe over
with a damp clean cloth, making sure that all the
cleaner has been removed.
Finally, turn on hotplate to warm for a few minutes,
then smear with a little cooking oil to provide a
protective coating, or the restorative agent Homecare
Four Hob, available from our spares department or
leading supermarkets. The bezels will mellow with use
to a burnished gold colour, a soap filled Brillo pad will
help to keep them bright, care should be taken not to
damage the vitreous enamel hob surface.
Note: We do not recommend the use of decorative
covers over the hot hotplates as these can hold
condensation and cause corrosion. Accidental
operation with a cover in place can cause intense
heat. Never place saucepan lids on the hotplates, as
this may cause corrosion.

to prevent any build up of soiling. The

on a small area of trim which is not noticeable in
normal use). Then, after wiping with a cloth wrung
out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.
