Th stainl ss st l hob
Stainless steel is not adversely affected by normal household use but because of it’s reputation
for durability, it is sometimes assumed to be indestructible, and therefore subjected to misuse or
even abuse. Care should be taken to avoid such ‘abnormal’ use.
Do Use
• A soft cloth or synthetic sponge.
• Soap, or mild household detergent.
• Diluted ammonia in warm water.
• A nylon bristle brush.
• Cleaners labelled “Suitable for stainless
steel”.
• Frequent cleaning is recommended rather than an occasional aggressive clean.
• Routine cleaning will preserve the corrosion resistance and appearance of the stainless steel for
many years.
• Clean the stainless steel as often as necessary ( ie. when noticeably dull or dirty ) and use the
simplest cleaning method that will effectively do the job.
• Use clean water, or a mild detergent solution applied with a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse well
and wipe dry.
Burn rs
• Removable burner parts should be washed weekly with hot water and detergent.
• Take care to remove any encrustations and ensure that the burner holes are clear.
• The condition of the gas hose and valve should be inspected for leaks every time the gas bottle
is re-filled.
Do Not Use
• Acids.
• A steam cleaner.
• Abrasive scourers, steel wool, metal
scrapers, wire brushes, emery paper or
foam scouring pads.
• So called ‘silver cleaners’.

PAGE 10 OF16
Condition Action Not s and comm nts
Requires routine cleaning Mild detergent solution applied
with soft sponge or cloth. Rinse
and wipe dry.
If possible use warm to hand-
hot water. A 5% addition of
ammonia is beneficial.
Finger prints Pre-treat finger marks with
alcohol or an organic solvent.
Follow immediately with
routine cleaning.
Minimize re-occurrence by
applying a wa or silicone
based household polish to the
clean dry surface.
Wipe with a little baby oil and
a soft lint free cloth.
Buff to shine.
Apply whenever necessary.
Stubborn stains and
discolouration
Use a little Ceran cleaning
paste. (available from Defy
Service Centres)
Rinse and dry.
Repeat several times rather
than resorting to a single
aggressive cleaning method.
Grease and fat splatter. Wipe off e cess with a soft
cloth or paper towel. Use a
water borne degreasing agent
( dishwashing liquid ).Follow
up by routine cleaning.
Scratches on the brushed
finish.
For slight scratches, use a
nylon pad loaded with an iron
free abrasive polishing
compound. Follow the
direction of the original
te ture. Follow up with routine
cleaning.
For deep scratches use a
coarser abrasive initially and
follow up as for light scratches.
Deep scratches will be difficult
to remove completely. Do not
use steel wool or metal
scourers unless they are made
from stainless steel.
