Cleaning and Maintenance

C

AUTION

: 

Always turn off the electrical power supply at the mains supply before cleaning. 

This appliance is not water proof. 

Do not use water jet spray to clean interior or exterior of this appliance. 

General 

Clean the Cooktop regularly.  A clean appliance looks better, will last longer and will perform better.   

Carbonised grease on the surface or on the griddle plate (If fitted) will hinder the transfer of heat 

from the cooking surface to the food.  This will result in loss of cooking efficiency. 

NOTE:  Each griddle option can be supplied with a scraper tool and a pack of blades for cleaning 

the griddle surface.  These are not supplied with the griddle and have to be purchased  
separately.  Refer to the 'Replacement Parts List' at the rear of this manual. 

DO NOT use water on the griddle plate while this item is still hot as warping and 

cracking may occur.  Allow the griddle plate to cool down before cleaning

. 

NOTE: 

• 

DO NOT use abrasive detergents, strong solvents or caustic detergents as they could  
corrode or damage the range. 

• 

In order to prevent the forming of rust on the griddle plate (Steel Plate), ensure that any 
detergent or cleaning material has been completely removed after each cleaning.  The  
appliance should be switched on briefly to ensure the griddle plate becomes dry.  Oil or 
grease should be spread over the griddle surface in order to form a thin protective greasy 
film.

To keep your Cooktop clean and operating at peak efficiency, follow the procedures shown below:- 

After Each Use 

1. 

Clean the griddle with a scraper tool to remove any food debris. 

2. 

Always ensure that the scraper tool blades are changed regularly to ensure that the scraper tool 
works efficiently and prevents damage to the griddle plate surface. 

Daily Cleaning 

1. 

The grease drawer should be checked and emptied frequently to prevent overflow and spillage.   

Remove the grease drawer while still warm so that the grease is in a liquid state.  Empty any grease 

from the drawer and wash thoroughly in the same manner as any cooking utensil. 

2. 

Thoroughly clean the splash back, the interior and exterior surfaces of the range with hot water, a 

detergent solution and a soft scrubbing brush. 

3. 

Clean the Control Panel with a damp cloth lightly moistened with a solution of mild detergent and 

water.  Dry the control panel thoroughly with a dry cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth. 

4. 

Brush the griddle surface (optional - if fitted) with a soft bristled brush.  Any carbon deposits should 

be removed using a scraper tool followed by wiping with a cloth moistened in a solution of hot water 

and detergent to prevent accumulation of food deposits.

AUTION

: 

Always ensure that an even pressure is applied over the whole surface of the 
scraper tool when using on the flat surface of the griddle, to prevent scoring of 
the surface. 

NEVER bang the sharp edge of the scraper tool on the flat surface of the  
griddle as this will damage the finish and invalidate the warranty.
