External surfaces are susceptible to scratches and abrasions, so please follow the cleaning instructions to ensure the best possible result is achieved without damage.

Stainless steel surface

These instructions must be followed to avoid a fire risk.
Clean stainless steel surfaces using non-abrasive cleaning products that are specifically for use on stainless steel. To ensure best results also use an even pressure and follow the grain of the stainless steel. Use of a soft cloth reduces the risk of scratching. If the cloth is wet ensure that a dry soft cloth is used to wipe down the surface again and then apply a satin less steel protector spray to reduce the risk of any surface rust appearing.

Cleaning grease filters

The filters can be cleaned by hand or dishwasher. After cleaning ensure the filters are completely dry before refitting. Grease filters must be removed every four weeks (maximum) for cleaning to reduce the risk of fire.

  • By hand – Soak in warm water and some washing up liquid. For stubborn grease stains use a soft nylon brush to help remove those stains.
  • In a dishwasher – Ensure that placement of the filters is made so as to not impede the function of the dishwasher spray arm. Washing the filters in a dishwasher may cause discolouration over time although it will not effect their performance. Filters should be washed seperately to crockery and other kitchen utensils.
