Care and Cleaning
28
Remove the grill pan and the wire grid food support, it is best to wash
these items immediately after use to prevent stains from being burnt on
when used again. Wipe out the Grill compartment, use a fine steel wool
soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the grill runners and the floor of
the compartment.
Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.
Do not use cream cleaners, oven cleaners or aerosols, scouring pads or
abrasive powder for cleaning the plastic knobs as damage will occur.
It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to prevent any build
up of soiling. The recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over the
trims with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water or mild non-abrasive
cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner on a small area of trim which is not
noticeable in normal use). Then, after wiping with a cloth wrung out in
clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.
Wipe over the door with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water, then after
wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.
DO NOT use scouring pads or abrasive powder which may scratch the
surface.
Take care during cleaning not to damage or distort the door seals. Do not lift
the door seal from the oven chassis, if necessary remove the seal by carefully
unhooking the corner clips.

Remove the rod shelves and grill pan.
Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the
rod shelves, grill pan and the floor of the oven.
The surface of the ‘Stay Clean’ oven liners are treated on the mottled face with a
special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220˚C
(425˚F) or above, the special surface enables these soils to be slowly destroyed.
The higher the temperature the more effective it is. In most cases normal
cooking operation at this temperature will permit this cleaning operation to
proceed during cooking. However if higher cooking temperatures are not used
regularly it may be necessary, to prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven without
a meat pan at maximum setting for a couple of hours. This may be necessary
once a month or once every two or three months depending on the type and
amount of oven cooking.
It should not normally be necessary to clean the ‘Stay Clean’ panels in water. If
desirable remove the rod shelves and the side panels and wash them in warm
soapy water, followed by rinsing in clean water.
Open the oven door and remove the rod shelves. Using a suitable cloth to
protect the fingers grip the light glass dome, unscrew anti-clockwise and
lift. Reach into the aperture with fingers, and unscrew the lamp anti-
clockwise. Fit replacement lamp (15W 300
