Ceramic hotplates
• Remove all spilt food and fat with the supplied razor
blade scraper, while the ceramic glass is still warm
but not hot. Wipe clean with dishwashing detergent
on a damp cloth.
• If aluminium foil, plastic items or high sugar content
are allowed to melt on the ceramic glass, clean
immediately with the supplied razor blade scraper
before the surface has cooled down, otherwise
pitting of the surface can occur.
Note: Items with high sugar content not only include jam and fruit, but also vegetables
such as peas, tomatoes and carrots.
• When the ceramic glass is cool, apply a suitable cleaner (supplied with the unit).
• It is important to follow the cleaner manufacturers instructions. Remove any cleaning
residue from the surface as staining of the cooktop may occur.
• Do not use abrasive sponges or scourers, as they may scratch the cooktop.
• Any pitting, staining, scratches or other surface deterioration is excluded from
the warranty.
Gas hotplates
Removing trivets
• The trivets locate on the hob with rubber
feet.
• They can be removed for cleaning by
carefully lifting them from the hob.
• Clean by washing with warm soapy water.
• Take care when replacing the trivets as
dropping them may damage the hob or
the trivet.
• The wok support should only be used
when wok cooking and should be
removed when using flat bottom pans.
Removing burners
• The burner caps and crowns are removable
for cleaning.
• Flame port blockage should be removed by means of
a match stick or brush.
• If the caps, crowns and cups are heavily soiled, use a
non-abrasive cleaning compound.
• Do not clean them with abrasive or caustic type
cleaners, or clean in a dishwasher.
Refitting burner crowns and caps
• The burner crown must be fitted correctly into the
burner cup or damage will occur during operation.
• To do this, ensure that the rib next to the side hole
of the burner crown is positioned into the slot in the
burner cup. The burner cap is simply positioned over
the top of the burner crown.
Note: When the burner is correctly fitted it will sit
level on the hob.
