Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be

carried out, you must DISCONNECT the cooker

from the electricity supply.

This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or

with a steam cleaning machine.

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.
