Cleaning and Maintenance
Important: Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the
appliance from ELECTRICITY supply and ensure the appliances is completely cool.
Cleaning the Hob Surface
Clean spillages from the hob surface as soon as possible after use. Always ensure the surface is cool
enough before cleaning.
Use a soft cloth or kitchen paper to clean the surface. If the spillage has dried on the surface, you may
need to use a specialist vitro-ceramic glass cleaner, which is available for most of supermarkets.
Do not use other abrasive cleaners and/or wire wool etc., as it may scratch the ceramic glass surface
of your hob.

Important!

there will be no 'hot surface' indication
but the cooking zone may still be hot!
Take extreme care.
• Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon
scourers and harsh/abrasive cleaning
agents may scratch the glass. Always
read the label to check if your cleaner or
scourer is suitable.
• Never leave cleaning residue on the hob
glass surface: the glass may become
stained.
• Remove stains left by melts and sugary
food or spill overs as soon as possible. If
left to cool on the glass, they may be
difficult to remove or even permanently

• Cut hazard: when the safety cover is
retracted, the blade in a scraper is razor-
sharp. Use with extreme care and always
store safely and out of reach of children.
