Care and cleaning
DOs DON’Ts
Before any manual cleaning or
maintenance, first wait for the oven to cool
down to a safe temperature to touch, then
disconnect it from the power supply.
Read these cleaning instructions and the
‘Safety and warnings’ section before you
start cleaning your oven.
See the following pages for instructions on
removing and refitting different parts of
the oven for cleaning.
To prevent soiling from becoming ‘baked
on’ and stubborn, we recommend removing
any spills, food or grease stains from the
oven cavity enamel after each use.
Don’t use a steam cleaner.
Don’t keep flammable substances in the
oven.
Don’t use or any abrasive or harsh cleaners,
cloths, scouring pads or steel wool. Some
nylon scourers may also scratch. Check the
label.
Don’t leave alkaline (salty spills) or acidic
substances (such as lemon juice or vinegar)
on the oven surfaces.
Don’t use cleaning products with a chlorine
or acidic base.
What? How? Important!
Glass surfaces
(oven door
panes,
control panel)
1
Clean these using a soft cloth with a
solution of mild detergent or baking
soda and hot water, then wipe dry.
2
Wipe with a glass cleaner and dry
with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Don’t use oven cleaners or any
other harsh/abrasive cleaners,
cloths, scouring pads, steel
wool or sharp metal scrapers
to clean the glass surfaces.
These scratch the glass which
in turn could result in the glass
cracking or shattering
Dials
Clean with a solution of mild detergent
and hot water, then wipe dry using a
soft cloth.
Do not use stainless steel or oven
cleaner, scouring pads, steel wool
or abrasive items on the dials as
doing so may damage their
coating.
Stainless steel
strip on the
front of the
oven door
Clean with a solution of mild
detergent and hot water, then wipe
dry with a microfibre cloth.
If necessary, use a suitable stainless
steel cleaner and polish.
Always read the label to make
sure that your stainless steel
cleaner does not contain
chlorine compounds as these
are corrosive and may damage
the appearance of your oven.
Always rub the stainless steel
in the direction of the grain.
