CLEANING
CERAMIC HOTpLATE
• 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
foods 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 appliance).
• It is important to follow the cleaner manufacturer’s
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 surface.
• Any pitting, staining, scratches or other surface
deterioration is excluded from the warranty.
• All stains/water marks can be removed by vigorous
cleaning, using the supplied ceramic cleaner.
GAS HOTpLATE
• The trivets can be removed for cleaning by carefully lifting
them form the hob.
• Clean by washing with warm soapy water.
• The burner caps and crowns are also removable for
cleaning.
• If the caps, crowns and cups are heavily soiled, use a
non-abrasive cleaning compound.
• Flame port blockages should be removed by using a
matchstick or brush.
• Do not clean them with abrasive or caustic type cleaners,
or clean them in a dishwasher.
OvEN
• Always keep your appliance clean. Ensure that fats and
oils do not accumulate around elements, burners or fans.
• Always keep oven dishes, baking trays, grill trays and grill
tray insert clean, as any fat deposits may catch fire.

to minimise cleaning. Any polyunsaturated fats can leave
a varnish-like residue which is very difficult to remove.

any fat deposits may catch fire.

before cleaning. This can be done via the functional switch
located nearby. Do not use steam cleaners.

cookware.

steel wool or wax polishes.
