Cleaning your cooke
Cleaning your cooker
A false reading of the temperature may be caused by heavy food soiling, residual oven cleaner on the thermostat
and/or the roof elements, or a dislodged thermostat phial. Cleaning should be carried out regularly and with care.
Always disconnect the electricity supply to the appliance before any cleaning takes place.
Never allow fat or oil to build up on any surface, particularly on oven bases and oven trays, as this can lead to
permanent staining or the risk of fat fires.
We recommend the use of E-cloth® products. These micro fibre cloths will keep your Britannia cooker smear, finger and
water mark free using the minimum of effort and chemical cleaners. Call 0871 871 8680 to purchase your E-cloth®.
Cleaning your gas hob
Stainless steel hob
Do not use any abrasive cleaners on the stainless steel hotplate.
Wipe with a soft cloth using warm water and washing-up liquid. Whilst still damp polish dry with an E-cloth®.
For stubborn cooked-on stains use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner.
Always work in the same direction as the grain of the stainless steel, rinse well and polish dry.
Pan supports
Pan supports and burner caps are made from cast iron with a protective coating of acid resistant enamel, and must
not be put in a dishwasher.
Always allow pan supports and burner caps to cool completely before immersing in water.
Wipe with a soft cloth using warm water and washing-up liquid.
For stubborn marks use a cream cleaner applied with a nylon scourer. Rinse well and dry, before replacing on the
hotplate.
When placing the pan supports on the hotplate, the widest edge of the cast iron faces to the outside left or right.
Burner rings:
Use a cream cleaner and a nylon scourer. Rinse well and dry.
After cleaning, ensure that the burner slots are dry and not blocked.
Alloy burner bases:
Never put the alloy bases in a dishwasher as the salt may damage the alloy.
Always ensure that no other metals are in the same water as the alloy bases as electrolysis may occur, blackening the
alloy. Wipe clean with a soft cloth, warm water and washing-up liquid.
For stubborn marks use a cream cleaner on a soft damp cloth.
Rinse and dry before replacing on the hotplate.
An alloy metal polish is available to buy from Britannia. See Accessories on page 36 or call 0871 871 8680.
When re-assembling the burners, always ensure that the notches on the burner ring are seated firmly into the base
for the gas to ignite and the flame to be stable. (See burner assembly instructions on page 6).
Chef Top:
As the Chef Top is heavy we recommend that you clean it on the hob without moving it.
After cooking, allow the Chef Top to cool until just warm.
Use a spatula to remove any cooking residue.
Wipe away any fat in the drip tray with kitchen towel.
Clean the whole surface with warm water and washing-up liquid, using a stainless steel scourer. Always work with the
grain of the stainless steel.
Some foods with a high salt content (such as bacon) may leave white marks. For these and other stubborn marks use a
cream cleaner suitable for stainless steel surfaces.
To reduce cleaning requirements we recommend using our Bake-O-Glide Chef Top liner.
