[. . . ] Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the overheated splashes could easily ignite. The stainless steel can become tarnished if excessively heated. Therefore prolonged cooking with potstones, earthenware pans or cast-iron plates is inadvisable. Also, do not use aluminium foil to protect the top during use. 9 Maintenance and Cleaning Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the hob from the electricity supply. This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or with a steam cleaning machine. The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool. The Hotplates Spills onto the actual plate should be removed using warm water and a soft brush, nylon or plastic scourer. To keep the plates looking as new, hotplate conditioner can be purchased from most hardware stores, e. g. "4 Hob" by HomeCare Products (follow the manufacturer's instruction for use). Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop of olive oil on a kitchen towel to avoid rust. It is important to note that the plate will smoke a little and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when next used. Stainless steel parts: the stainless steel spill rings may become straw coloured with use. Use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner to remove this straw discolouration. This also applies to the area around the hotplates on stainless steel hobs. Failure to clean and condition hotplates may lead to rust and corrosion forming on the surface. The Hob Top Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a little washing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use of the following: household detergent and bleaches; impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans; - steel wool pads; - bath/sink stain removers. Should the hob top become heavily soiled, the following products are recommended: For stainless steal hobs use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner. - For other hobs use Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend. The control knobs may be removed by carefully pulling them upward for easier cleaning. Do not leave acid or alkaline substances (e. g. vinegar, salt, lemon juice, etc. ) on the cooktop. 4 10 Something Not Working?
