CLEANING
Always allow the hotplate to cool before cleaning. Applying cold water or a damp cloth to hot surfaces may
damage the surface finish.
HOTPLATE AND ELECTRIC ELEMENT
The most important thing to remember when cleaning the hotplate is to never use steel wool, scourers or harsh
abrasive compounds. The appearance of the quality stainless steel surface can normally be restored with a cloth
moistened in warm soapy water. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive, non-caustic household cleaner and a soft
clothe or sponge may be used if necessary. Do not leave heavy spillover to bake on, as this will make cleaning
more difficult.
CONTROL KNOBS
The control knobs may be removed for ease of cleaning by pulling straight out. Dry thoroughly before replacing.
BURNERS
The burners may be cleaned with a damp cloth moistened in warm soapy water or a non-abrasive household
cleaner. Never use steel wool or other abrasive cleaners. Take care not to allow water and detergent to enter
the burner. If any of the burner ports are blocked, try to remove the blockage with a toothpick. Do not use metal
instruments as they may distort or enlarge the burner ports. The burners are not removable for cleaning but are
removable for servicing of the hotplate.
TRIVET (PAN SUPPORT)
The trivet can be removed and washed in hot water and detergent. Remove the trivet carefully by pulling the
extended pins evenly out of the plastic locaters in the hob. When replacing trivet, ensure that plastic guides are
not damaged.
SHELVES AND GRILL TRAY
The shelves and grill tray should be cleaned using soapy water. Do not use harsh detergents.
