Condition Action Notes and comments
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 wax 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 excess 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
texture. 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.
It must be appreciated that some of the above suggested procedures will
alter the surface appearance of the treated area.
They should therefore only be applied with due consideration and care.
