Care and cleaning
Important!
Always switch the power to the oven off at the wall before any cleaning or maintenance.
When you switch the power back on after cleaning, you will have to set the clock.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, cloths or pads to clean any part of your oven. Some nylon scourers
may also scratch. Check the label.
See the following pages for instructions on removing and refitting different parts of the oven for
cleaning.
Before cleaning, make sure the oven is a safe temperature to touch.
Do not use a steam cleaner.
What? How? Important!
General advice
Wipe out the oven after every
use.
Wipe up spills as soon as the
oven is a safe temperature to
touch.
Avoid leaving alkaline or acidic
substances (such as lemon juice,
vinegar or salty spills) on the oven
surfaces.
Do not use cleaning products with
a chlorine or acidic base.
Stainless steel
surfaces
1 Wipe the soiling off with a
cloth using a mild household
detergent or stainless steel
cleaner.
2 Wipe the surface dry.
3 Use a suitable stainless steel
polish.
Immediately wipe off any caustic
cleaners if they are spilled onto
the oven door handle or the knobs.
Glass surfaces Wipe with a damp cloth or use a
glass cleaner.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners
or sharp metal scrapers since they
scratch the surface and may result
in the glass shattering.
Oven cavity
(enamel)
1 Remove everything from the
oven: all shelves and trays, the
side racks and the catalytic
panels and fat filter if supplied.
2 Remove the oven door (see
instructions on following
pages).
3 Wipe the inside of the oven
using a household detergents
or an ammonia-based cleaner.
4 Wipe clean with a damp cloth
and allow to dry completely.
To make cleaning easier, the grill
element in some ovens drops
down after you have removed the
side racks.
If using ‘off the shelf’ oven
cleaners, always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Side racks, oven
shelves, trays
Clean these using a solution of
detergent and hot water. They
are also dishwasher safe.
If badly soiled, soak in a solution
of hot water and biological
clothes washing powder to
make cleaning easier.
