CLEANING THE HOTPLATE
Ceramic hotplates
• 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 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, wipe clean with
dishwashing detergent on a damp cloth.
• Do not use abrasive sponges or scourers, as they may scratch the surface.
• Do not use oven sprays or stain removers as these products may also damage
the surface.
• Any pitting, staining, scratches or other surface deterioration is excluded from
the warranty.
Gas hotplates
Removing trivets
• The trivets locate on the hob with rubber
feet.
• They can be removed for cleaning by
carefully lifting them from the hob.
• Clean by washing with warm soapy water.
• Take care when replacing the trivets as
dropping them may damage the hob or
the trivet.
Removing the burners
• The burner caps and crowns are removable
for cleaning.
• Flame port blockage should be removed by
means of a match stick or brush.
• If the caps, crowns and cups are heavily
soiled, use a non-abrasive cleaning
compound.
• Do not clean them with abrasive or caustic
type cleaners, or clean in a dishwasher.
Refitting the burner crowns and caps
• The burner crown must be fitted correctly
into the burner cup or damage will occur
during operation.
• To do this, ensure that the 2 ribs on either
side of the spark plug hole are positioned
into the 2 slots on the burner cup. (See
diagram opposite).
• The burner cap is simply positioned over the
top of the burner crown.
Note: When the burner is correctly fitted it
will sit level on the hob.
