Plates
To clean solid plates, firstly wipe off any excess
spillage and if necessary clean the plates with a light
abrasive pad than dry the plates thoroughly.
General information
• Drying may be facilitated by turning the plates onto
the lowest setting for a short time until dry.
• Do not put any damp or wet items on the hotplates.
• Dry pots and pans with a cloth before placing them
on the hotplates.
Cleaning the ceramic hob (ZCV561DW/DX,
ZCV563DW/DX/DN)
• Make sure the ceramic glass is cool before
cleaning. It is important to clean the ceramic hob
daily to prevent foodstuff being burnt on.
• Take care to avoid the hob trims when cleaning the
ceramic glass as they may be damaged by the
cleaning agents.
Daily cleaning
• Use a hob-cleaning product specifically designed
for ceramic hobs daily. If foodstuff is not allowed to
burn on it will be much easier to clean off.
• Apply a small amount of hob cleaner in the centre
of each area to be cleaned.
• Dampen a clean paper towel or a plastic pad
designed for non-stick saucepans and rub
vigorously until all marks are removed. This may
take a few minutes.
• Wipe off residues of cleaner with another damp
paper towel and polish dry with a soft cloth.
• If hob cleaner is unavailable, one or more of the
cleaning agents below may be used temporarily:
- Cream Cleaner
- Baking Soda
To remove more stubborn marks
• Cream cleaner may be used to clean off more
stubborn stains or to remove discolouration.
• It may be necessary to rub the marks hard for
several minutes.
• Use a plastic pad designed for non-stick saucepans
with cream cleaner for removal of more stubborn
stains.
• Cleaners that contain bleach should not be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives
and scourers should also be avoided. Multi-surface
anti-bacterial cleaning products should not be used
on the ceramic hob or on the surrounding trims.
Cleaning the outside of the appliance
Before cleaning always allow the appliance to cool
down before switching off at the electricity supply.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning materials e.g.
abrasive cream cleaners, wire wool pads or
scourers on painted or printed finishes as damage
may occur. Regularly wipe over the control panel,
control knobs, handles, doors and appliance sides
using a soft cloth and hot soapy water. To prevent
streaking, finish with a soft cloth.
• Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and
should be avoided as they may dull the surface
finish. Any spillage on the stainless steel finish
must be wiped off immediately.
Do not attempt to remove any of the control knobs
from the appliance as this may cause damage and is
a safety hazard.
Cleaning the solid hob (ZCE560DW)
Clean the hob after each use. To ensure the best
results from your hob and to prolong its good looks
regular cleaning and maintenance is essential.
Cleaning and maintenance should only be carried out
when the hob is cool.
Hob Surface
Hob surface should be cleaned with a lukewarm
solution of water and a mild detergent, periodically it
may be necessary to use a mild scouring agent.
Dust, fat and liquids from food that has boiled over
must be removed as soon as possible. Never use a
scouring pad on the hob surface and on no occasion
use a sharp object.
Scratched or clipped surface cannot be repaired. In
additional to the unsightly appearance this may lead
to grooves appearing and eventually the enamel to
crack.
