BEFORE CLEANING ALWAYS ALLOW
THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE
APPLIANCE DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING
OFF AT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
CLEANING MATERIALS
Before using any cleaning materials on your
appliance, check that they are suitable and that their
use is recommended by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives
must also be avoided to prevent damaging the
stainless steel or painted finishes.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
APPLIANCE
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials, e.g. Hob
Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed
finishes as damage may occur.
Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors
and appliance sides using a soft cloth and hot soapy
water. To prevent streaking on stainless steel
models finish with a soft cloth. Any spillage on the
stainless steel finish must be wiped off
immediately.
Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and
should be avoided as they may dull the surface
finish.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE
CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE APPLIANCE AS
THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY
HAZARD.
Under no circumstances should the door
assembly be detached from the product for
cleaning. Please refer to the cleaning
instructions.
Aerosol cleaners must not come into contact with
the grill element as this may cause damage.
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVENS
The Stayclean surface inside the ovens should not
be cleaned manually. See 'Care of Stayclean
Surfaces'. The vitreous enamel top oven base and
main oven base can be cleaned using normal oven
cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners with care. Ensure
that the manufacturers instructions are followed and
that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.
Aerosol cleaners must not be used on Stayclean
surfaces and must not come into contact with the
elements or the door seal as this may cause
damage.
CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES
Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and fats
when the oven temperature is raised to around
220°C.
It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two
per week to ensure continued good performance
from the Stayclean finish.
HINTS AND TIPS
· Manual cleaning of the Stayclean surface IS NOT
recommended. Damage will occur if abrasives or
aerosol sprays of any kind are used.
· Slight discolouration and polishing of the
Stayclean surfaces may occur in time. This
DOES NOT affect the Stayclean properties in
any way.
· A good time to allow the oven to run on is after
the weekly roast. After removing the roast, turn
the oven up to 220°C and allow to run for an hour
or so. It is important NOT to allow a build-up of
soilage as this can prevent the Stayclean
surfaces from working.
· Follow the recommendations below to keep oven
soilage to minimum.
· Cook at the recommended temperatures. Higher
temperatures during roasting will increase
soilage. Try cooking at lower temperatures for
an increased length of time, you will save energy
and often the joint is more tender.
