MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
The oven should be kept clean at all
times. A build-up of fats or other
foodstuffs could result in a fire.
Before cleaning, ensure all control
knobs are in the OFF position, and the
appliance has cooled completely.
Before any maintenance or cleaning
can be carried out, you must
DISCONNECT the cooker from the
electricity supply.
Cleaning materials
Before using any cleaning materials on your
oven, 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. A steam cleaner is not to be
used. Harsh abrasives should also be
avoided.
External cleaning
In the case of stainless steel parts, you may use
commercially available stainless steel cleaners
with care. These also provide a protective film
against finger marks.
To prevent damaging or weakening the
door glass panels avoid the use of the
following:
• Household detergent and bleaches
• Impregnated pads unsuitable for non
stick saucepans
• Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
• Chemical oven pads or aerosols
• Rust removers
• Bath/Sink stain removers
Oven Cavity
The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst
the oven is still warm.
Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in
warm soapy water after each use. From time to
time it will be necessary to do a more thorough
cleaning, using a proprietary oven cleaner.
Oven Shelves and shelf support
To clean the oven shelves, and shelf support
soak in warm soapy water and remove stubborn
marks with a well wetted soap impregnated pad.
Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the oven door
For a more complete cleaning of the oven door, it
is advisable to remove it in the following way;
- Open the door completely.
- Lift the two locking plates on the hinge arms
to 170°;
- Partially close the door, to a 30
o
angle
- Lift the door and pull out.
locking plates
Refit the door by reversing the operation
described above.
DO NOT clean the oven door while the
glass panels are warm. If this precaution is not
observed the glass panel may shatter. If the
door glass panel becomes chipped or has
deep scratches, the glass will be weakened
and must be replaced to prevent the
possibility of the panel shattering.
