The Hotplates
Spills onto the actual plate should be removed
using warm water and a soft brush, nylon or
plastic scourer. To keep the plates looking as new,
hotplate conditioner can be purchased from most
hardware stores, e.g. "4 Hob" by HomeCare
Products (follow the manufacturer's instruction for
use). Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop of
olive oil on a kitchen towel to avoid rust. It is
important to note that the plate will smoke a little
and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when
next used.
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.
Ensure that the appliance is switched
off and disconnected from the electricity
supply before replacing the bulb to avoid
possibility of an electric shock.
If the oven bulb needs replacing, it must comply
with the following specifications:
Wattage:
Voltage:
Temperatures:
Thread Type:
To replace the faulty bulb.
1. Turn the glass cover anticlockwise and
remove.
2. Remove the faulty bulb and replace with a
new one.
3. Refit the glass cover.
Reconnect the appliance to the electricity
supply.
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.
