CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING: BEFORE CLEANING, SWITCH THE COOKER OFF AT THE MAINS COOKER
CONTROL PANEL AND ALLOW IT TO COOL. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE OVENS ARE
CLEANED AND KEPT FREE FROM FATS, OIL AND GREASE.
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.
! Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning
product, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive material or
sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface and cause the glass to
crack.
! The accessories can be washed like everyday crockery (even in your dishwasher).
Cleaning of the Ceramic Hob

Always clean spills immediately. If the hob is reused before cleaning, spillage will be
baked on and be very difficult to remove.

Always use a Ceramic Hob Cleaner-Conditioner whenever cleaning is done. The
Cleaner-Conditioner forms a protective film on the hob and contains a mild
detergent which makes cleaning easier. Hotpoint has a Cleaner-Conditioner
which can be obtained, either through a local Hotpoint Service Centre or
retailer, part no.6004.
To clean off stubborn stains, the following can be used when the surface has cooled:
1. Cif, non-scratch cream cleaner.
2. Heavy soil can be removed from the surface by carefully using a glass scraper.
3. Hard water stains, grease spots and any discolouration having a metallic sheen can
be removed with Solvol Autogol Super or any non abrasive stainless steel cleaner.
After cleaning, always use the Cleaner-Conditioner and finish it off by polishing with a
clean, dry paper towel.

Never use abrasive or chemical oven cleaners as they can damage the surface of
the hob.
The visual effect of any scratches which may occur in use can be minimised by the
use of Cleaner-Conditioner. Such scratches cannot be removed but do not affect the
function of the hob in any way.
'Heat Clean' Liners
'Heat Clean' liners are covered with a special enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At
higher temperatures the soiling is slowly destroyed. In most cases normal cooking at
higher temperatures will permit this cleaning to take place automatically.
However, if higher cooking temperatures are not used regularly then it may be
necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven at maximum temperature
for at least two hours, from time to time.
The 'Heat Clean' liners can be washed in warm soapy water followed by rinsing in clear
water. Dry well with a soft cloth.
NOTE: Do not use enzyme washing powder, harsh abrasives or chemical oven
cleaners of any kind.
