1. Plastic or nylon pads
2. Household abrasive powders and scourers. These may scratch the surface.
3. Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads.
Caustic cleaners such as these will etch the surface and attack the metal frame.
4. Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface.

Care and Cleaning
TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH AND ENSURE THE COOKER IS COLD BEFORE CLEANING.
BEFORE SWITCHING ON AGAIN, ENSURE THAT ALL CONTROLS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION.
NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL WASHING POWDER, HARSH ABRASIVES, SCOURING PADS,
AEROSOL CLEANERS OR OVEN CHEMICAL CLEANERS OF ANY KIND,
UNLESS SPECIFIED BELOW.
Note: We DO NOT recommend the use of decorative covers over the hotplates as these can hold
condensation and cause corrosion. Accidental operation with a cover in place can cause intense
heat. Never place saucepan lids on the hotplates, as this may cause corrosion.
Cleaning materials to avoid:

Electric sealed hotplates:
The cleaning of sealed hotplates should be done when they are cold, using a soap filled Brillo
pad, following the grain of the hotplate. This will ensure that any stubborn, burnt on spillages
are removed. Wipe over with a damp clean cloth, making sure that all the cleaner has been
removed. Finally, turn on hotplate to warm for a few minutes, then smear a little cooking oil to
provide a protective coating, or the restorative agent Homecare Four Hob, available from our
Parts Department or leading supermarkets. The bezels will mellow with use to a burnished gold
colour, a soap filled Brillo pad will help to keep them bright, care should be taken not to damage
the vitreous enamel hob surface.
