Mainteinance 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.
This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or with a steam cleaning machine.
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, the following products are recommended:
- For stainless steel hobs use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner.
- For other hobs use Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend.
Do not leave acid or alkaline substances (e.g. vinegar, salt, lemon juice, etc.) on the
cooktop.
The burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning.
Wash the burners taps and crowns using hot soapy water, and remove marks with a
mild paste cleaner. A well moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used
with caution, if the marks are particularly difficult to remove.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Frequently wash the "caps" and the "crowns" (Fig 1 page 7 - A and B) with hot soapy
water, carefully taking away any built-up of food.
After a thorough cleaning, refit the crown in its correct position on the burner.
The Ignition electrode
The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic electrode with a metal electrode
(Fig. 1 page 7- C). Keep these components very clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check
that the burner crown holes (Fig. 1 page 7 - B) are not obstructed.
