Periodically it may be necessary to use a proprietary

ceramic hob cleaner. First remove all spilt food and fat

with a window scrape, preferably the razor blade type

(not supplied) or, failing that, the fixed blade

razor edge type (see Fig. A). Then clean the hob while it is

still warm to the touch with a suitable cleaner and paper

towel.

Then rinse it and wipe it dry with a clean cloth .If aluminium

foil or plastic items are accidentally allowed to melt on the

hob surface they should be immediately removed from

the hot cooking area with a scraper. This will avoid any

possible damage to the surface. This also applies to sugar

or any food with a high sugar content.

Do not use abrasive sponges or scourers of any type.

Corrosive cleaners such as oven sprays and stain removers

should also not be used (see Fig. B).
