1. “STAYCLEAN” OVEN LINERS
(Top Oven Sides, Main Oven Sides and Rear Panel)
(a) How "Stayclean" works.
The surfaces of the "Stayclean" oven liners (Main Oven
rear panel) are treated 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.
(b) Cleaning.
In most cases normal cooking operations at 220°C
(425°F) 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 ovens without shelves or
meat pan, at a maximum setting for a couple of hours
(Fan Oven mode only).
It should not normally be necessary to clean the
"Stayclean" panels with water. If the user feels it is
desirable to do so, wipe them over with a clean, soapy
cloth, followed by a wipe with a clean damp cloth.
Warning: Before cleaning, please ensure that the electricity supply to the appliance is switched off
and the appliance is fully cold.
DO NOT use biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or
chemical oven cleaners of any kind as this could damage
the “Stayclean” oven liners.

2. CLEANING GRILL, TOP OVEN AND MAIN OVEN
(a) Base & Rear of Top Oven and Base of Main Oven.
Wipe out the oven with a damp soapy cloth. For more
stubborn stains on the base of the oven use a well
soaped fine steel wool soap pad.
(b) Grill Pan, Meat Pan & Oven Shelves.
To prevent stains from being burnt on to the grill pan,
food support and rod shelf, always wash immediately
after use in warm soapy water.
Use a well soaped fine steel wool soap pad to remove
stubborn stains from the rod shelves, grill pan, meat pan
and the base of the oven.
(c) Solarplus Grill.
To clean the Solarplus Grill, use a clean, damp, soapy cloth
and wipe over. If stubborn stains remain, gently clean with
a well soaped nylon scouring pad and wipe over with a damp
cloth.
DO NOT use aerosol cleaners on this oven as they could
adversely affect the fan motor unit, and cannot be wiped off
the fan blade.
DO NOT use metal cleaning utensils, wire wool or proprietary
oven cleaners on the grill element mesh.
