'STAY CLEAN' Oven liners
Refer to the instructions below for cleaning the 'Stay
clean' panels.
How "STAY CLEAN" works:
The surfaces 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 operations 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 in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run
the oven without a meat pan at maximum setting for
a couple of hours.
Ceramic hob
To reduce the amount of cleaning always ensure that
the hob and cooking utensils are clean and dry
before use. Regular use of cleaner conditioner is
recommended for proper care and protection of the
hob surface. Apply conditioner before using the hob
for the first time. It contains a mild cleaning agent,
so that subsequent applications may clean off soil
and apply a protective film at the same time. For
stubborn stains or heavy soiling use any of the
following materials, and finish off with conditioner.
1. Cif, non-scratch scouring cream.
2. Liquid Gumption Kitchen Cleanser.
3. Special Powder Cleanser.

Powder Cleanser – Mineral deposits that are
present in hard water, and some foods, may cause
‘discolourations’ that appear in the form of grey or
brown stains. The stains sometimes appear to be in
or under the glass surface. If there are some
persistent stains after using any of the other
recommended cleaning materials, powder cleanser
may be applied, following the manufacturers
instructions.

thus ensuring that years of heavy abrasive cleaning
do not progressively dull the surface.
Grill
Remove 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.
Decorative Trims
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.
Ovens
Remove the rod shelves. Use a fine steel wool soap
pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod shelves
and the floor of the oven. Clean the glass part of the
oven door using a sponge and a non-abrasive
cleaning product, then dry thoroughly with a soft
cloth. Do not use rough abrasive material or sharp
metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface
and cause the glass to crack.

safe.
