Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be

carried out, you must DISCONNECT the

cooker from the electricity supply.

The Hob Top

The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as

spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left

to cool.

Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth

well wrung out in warm water to which a little

wasing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use of the

following:

- household detergent and bleaches;

- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;

- steel wool pads;

- bath/sink stain removers.

Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is

recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob

Brite or Bar Keepers Friend is used.

The Hotplates

Spills onto the actual plate should be removed using

warm water and a soft brush, nylon or plastic scourer.

To keep the plates looking as new, hotplate

conditioner can be purchased from most hardware

stores, e.g. "4 Hob" by HomeCare Products (follow

the manufacturer's instruction for use).

Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop of olive oil

on a kitchen towel to avoid rust. It is important to

note that the plate will smoke a little and produce a

slightly unpleasant odour when next used.

Drying

Important: After cleaning, dry the hotplates

thoroughly by switching on to a low-medium setting

for a few minutes.

Restoring

To maintain the appearance of your sealed hotplates

apply a little salt-free vegetable oil or restorative

agent (i.e. "Collo Electrol", or Minky Hotplate

Cleaning Cloths) periodically.

To apply vegetable oil: first heat the hotplate on a

medium setting for 30 seconds then turn off. Pour a

very small amount of salt-free oil onto a dry cloth or

kitchen paper. Apply a thin coat of oil to the hotplate

surface and wipe off any excess. Heat the hotplate on

a medium setting for 1 minute.

To apply restorative agent: first heat the hotplate on a

medium setting for 30 seconds then turn off. Apply a

very thin coating of Collo Electrol (using the

applicator). Heat the hotplate on a high setting for 2-3

minutes to cure. Some smoke will occur, this is

normal and nontoxic. (NB: this product is a resorative

agent not a cleanser. It is available from hardware

stores).

Stainless steel parts: the stainless steel spill rings may

become straw coloured with use. Use a proprietary

stainless steel cleaner to remove this straw

discolouration. This also applies to the area around

the hotplates on stainless steel hobs.
