Is the Chef Top difficult to clean?

The best time to clean the Chef Top is while it is still warm. Pour a little hot, soapy water and watch the soiling boil off. Use the spatula to loosen crusty deposits and wipe clean. For stubborn deposits use a metal scourer.

How do I clean the exterior of my Britannia cooker?

While the cooker is still warm, wipe with a damp cloth, using warm water with a squirt of washing -up liquid added. Polish dry with a soft cloth to eliminate smearing, particularly with stainless steel finishes. Microfibre cloths are best for this, as they leave no lint, smears or finger marks. Do not use strong or abrasive detergents as these can remove the calibrations and icons from the knobs and control panel.

How do I clean the alloy burners on my gas hotplate?

You may wash the alloy burners in warm soapy water. They should never be soaked with other metal parts as electrolysis will occur and the alloy will be permanently blackened. For stubborn stains use a cream cleaner or Alloy Metal Polish, available from our Product Support Department on 01253 471130 Opt 3.

How do I clean the pan supports and burner caps on my gas hotplate?

These should be washed in hot soapy water. For stubborn marks, soak or treat with a cream cleaner and a green scourer. Always remember to replace the support(s) with the shortest arms over the triple ring burner. Do not place in the dishwasher, as this may cause rusting. Dishwashing will not remove carbonised stains (i.e. burnt on fat).

How do I clean the inside of my Britannia oven?

Remove the shelves and runners and clean them in soapy water with a nylon scourer. If there are Stay Clean Liners fitted to your cooker, these will make cleaning much easier. You can tell if you have these liners, by feeling the inside of the cooker: if the walls feel rough, then they are fitted. To clean, simply heat your oven periodically to maximum temperature for 45 minutes and then wipe away the excess residue with a clean cloth. You should not use soapy water to clean the liners. The remainder of the oven is glass enamelled. To assist in keeping the oven clean, we recommend the use of high-sided cooking dishes. Never use abrasive cleaners, as these will damage the enamel. Wipe the oven with warm soapy water shortly after use. Obstinate marks can be treated with cream cleaner, or soap filled steel wool pads. Vinegar, coffee, milk, salt water and fruit and vegetables left on enamel surfaces for long periods may permanently stain or discolour enamel. This will not affect their future use.
