What sort of hob (I assume its electric from the location of this post!)

Can you describe the hob top, and we may be able to advise. A picture would be handy so we can identify the element type and possibly point out a replacement.

Hobs are usually well-protected against cleaning drips and splashes. I doubt you will be able to open it up and clean it out, especialy if it has got into the switches and control circuits. I think you are going to need a Smeg engineer. It looks like an expensive cooker so worth having it properly repaired rather than run the risk of burning out the controls and having to buy a new one.

If it is a ceramic hob i don't think the user can get at it.

If it has iron plates or rings then the handbook may tell you how you can open and clean it for spillages as this also happens when a pan boils over.

p.s. the SE250X appears to be a plain oven, with no hob. like

so i don't undestand where the cleaner got in. If it got into the switches then I am sure it will need an engineer.

Seems to me that you have a separate ceramic top and an oven. A fault on the hob should not affect the oven so you can have a meat pie and a rice pudding

But my advice is, call a Smeg engineer to fix the hob. I fear it will get damaged more if you try to use it - clean water can dry out but cleaning liquid wil not go away.

f the hob has knobs on the top, I expect the liquid ran down into the switches and controls, through the holes for the knob spindles.

john you seem to know more about my oven than me. your right they are separate oven and top. talking about a meat pie is making me feel quite hungry your also right the liquid ran down into the switches and controls, through the holes for the knob spindles. that is exactly what has happened you have been a great help. thankyou for that
