6 CLEANING
CLEANING
Cleaning your hotplates
Coated “easy care” solid hotplates have a robust,
corrosion resistant surface which is temperature resistant
up to 600˚C.
Clean the hotplates after they have cooled by wiping with
a damp cloth or sponge, use a small amount of detergent
if necessary.
Stubborn soiling can be removed by soaking the hotplate
for a few minutes with warm water and a little detergent,
followed by cleaning using a plastic securer or soft brush.
• Any spills or marks that still remain can be burnt off
by operating the hotplate on high without a pan for
2-3 minutes. When the hotplate has cooled clean it
normally as above.
After cleaning, dry the hotplate by warming on low heat
for approx 30 seconds and then oil the hotplate with a
thin coating of cooking oil to prevent rust or corrosion .
Some discoloration of the stainless steel trim ring is
normal during use. A stainless steel cleaner may be used
to clean the trim ring.
WARNING
WARNING
There is a risk of burns if the hotplates are hot. Ensure
the hotplates have cooled before cleaning.
WARNING
CAUTION
Do not allow liquids to enter the control knob area while
cleaning.
Stainless steel cleaning
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.
A stainless steel cleaner may also be used in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Where the stainless steel has become extremely dirty
with signs of surface discolouration, (due to periods of
neglect or mis-use) use a mild cleaning solution eg. ‘Jif’
or ‘Hillmark’ stainless steel cleaner. When removing these
stains be sure to follow the polish or ‘brushing’ lines.
Do not use abrasive scourers or steel wool.
