Before carrying out the following instruction, make
sure that the appliance is DISCONNECTED from the
electricity supply.
Helpful Tips
Make sure the bottom of utensils and cooking areas
are clean and dry.
Select the correct heat settings and use saucepans
large enough to accommodate and liquid to eliminate
boilovers and splattering.
If possible, wipe up food spills from adjacent heating
areas before using the areas for cooking.
Note:
Use recommended ceramic hob cleaners only.
Cleaning
To keep exterior trims and control panel in spotless
condition, wipe after each use with a warm soapy
cloth.
Wipe the control knobs with a damp cloth, that was
wrung out in hot, soapy water, then dry thoroughly.
Remove any food spills on the hob as soon as possible
with a damp cloth.
Make sure that the hob is cool before applying any
cleaning materials.
Ceramic Hobs
Use Cleaner Conditioner daily. As it cleans, it leaves a
protective coating of silicone on the smooth surface, that
helps to prevent scratches and abrasions in which food
particles can collect. It also helps to prevent build-up of
mineral deposits and future cleaning is easier.
Apply a dab of cleaner in the centre of each heated
area to be cleaned. (For normal cleaning, start with
about 5ml spoonful of cleaner, apply more if needed).
Dampen a cloth and then proceed to clean the hob. To
remove more stubborn marks use a slightly dam-
pened non-stick pan cleaner (e.g. Scotchbrite-Vileda).
Wipe off this application with another clean damp
cloth and dry thoroughly.
Any smearing or hazing on the surface can be remo-
ved with a lightly dampened cloth and then polished
with a soft dry cloth.
Note
If a wet paper towel is used to remove spills from a
warm cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns.
Do not use a sponge or dishcloth. They leave a film of
water (which has added detergent) on heating areas,
which may turn brown and resemble dis-colouration,
next time the area is heated. If this happens, apply
Cleaner Conditioner to remove it.
