Maintaining the solid plates
If something is spilt onto the plate itself,
then it can be removed using a soft
brush, plastic or nylon scourer and
warm water.

you should put a little olive oil onto
a kitchen towel and rub it onto the surface
of the plate. The next time the plate is used,
it may produce a little smoke.
Alternatively you can use a hotplate
conditioner; these products can normally at be
found larger supermarkets and hardware
stores. The manufacturer’s instructions
should be followed when using these products.
Important: If the solid plates are not tained
regularly with olive oil or a hotplate conditioner,
then they may rust.

Cleaning of Solid Hotplates
- For light soiling and every day cleaning
simply wipe with a moist cloth.
- For dirty hotplates use a commercial
cleaner.
- Be careful to completely remove the
cleaner and dry the hotplate by running
the element for a short time.
-The hotplate can be then oiled with a
thin coating of cooking oil or a suitable
commercial product such as Hillmark
Shineon.
- Some discolouration of the trim ring is
normal during use.
Cleaning of the elements on your
cooktop is essential and we
recommend cleaning on a weekly
basis.
- Ensure that you have turned off
the cooktop and it has cooled down
before cleaning the elements.
- Clean the elements by wiping with
a damp cloth or sponge. Use a
small amount of detergent if
necessary.
-Stubborn soiling can be removed
by soaking the element for a few
minutes with warm water, followed
by cleaning using a plastic scourer
or soft brush (Do not use a steel
scourer or any metallic abbrasive)
-Any spills or marks that still remain
can be burnt off by operating the
element on high without a pan for 2-
3 minutes. When the element has
cooled, clean it as per above.
-After cleaning, dry the element by
warming on low heat for approx 30
seconds.
- Apply a thin coating of Hillmark
“Shine On” Solid Hotplate
Protector to the element to prevent
rust or corrosion.
- Some discolouration of the
stainless steel trim is normal during
use. A stainless steel cleaner may
be used to clean the trim ring.
- When the element is turned on after
cleaning, some smoke may be generated
by the sealant on the element. This is
normal and will cease after approx 2
minutes.
-NB The elements are not warranted
against rusting. Elements must be
protected with a coating of a hotplate
protector to avoid rusting. Weekly use is
recommended.
To clean the rest of the cooktop
- Ensure cooktop is turned off and cooled
down before cleaning.
- We advise using lukewarm water and
non-abrasive detergents to remove stubborn
stains from your white enamel cooktop and
soft paper towel to dry off the cooktop.
- All grades and finishes of stainless steel
may stain,discolour or become greasy in
normal operation. To achieve maximum
surface appearance, stainless steel must
be kept clean by regularly using the
following cleaning procedures - thus
ensuring good performance and long
service life.
- Wash with warm soapy damp cloth.
- For an enhanced appearance wipe the
surface with a clean damp cloth or sponge-
being sure to follow the polish or “brushing”
lines.
- Where the stainless steel has become
extremely dirty with signs of discolouration
(due to periods of neglect or misuse) use a
mild cleaning solution (eg Hillmark
stainless steel cleaner). When removing
these stains be sure to follow the polish or
“brushing” lines.
- DO NOT USE ABRASIVE SCOURERS,
CLEANING FLUIDS OR STEEL WOOL
WHEN CLEANING YOUR COOKTOP.
Changing the Oven lamp
Before any maintenance is started
involving electrical parts, the
appliance must be disconnected
from the power supply.
If the oven has been in use, let the
oven cavity and the heating elements
cool down before attempting any
maintenance.
Changing the bulb
Unscrew the protective cover. We
recommend that you wash and dry the
glass cover at this point.
Carefully remove the old bulb and
insert the new bulb suitable for high
temperatures (300 )having the
following specifications:230v-240v,
50Hz, 25W,G9 fitting.
Refit the protective cover.
IMPORTANT
Never use screwdrivers or other
utensils to remove the light cover.
This could damage the enamel of the
oven or the lampholder. Remove only
by hand.
IMPORTANT
Never replace the bulb with bare
hands as contamination from your
fingers can cause premature failure.
Always use a clean cloth or gloves.
Please note;
The bulb replacement is not covered
by your guarantee
Door removal
In order to obtain easier access to the oven
chamber for cleaning, it is possible to
remove the door.
To do this, tilt the safety catch part of the
hinge upwards. Close the door lightly, lift
and pull it out towards you. In order to fit
the door back on to the cooker, do the
inverse. When fitting, ensure that the notch
of the hinge is correctly placed on the
protrusion of the hinge holder. After the
door is fitted to the oven, the safety catch
should be carefully lowered down again. If
the safety catch is not set it may cause
damage to the hinge when closing the
door.
