Care and Cleaning
19
Inner Glass Door - open the door fully and unscrew the two screws
securing the glass panel, taking care not to allow the glass to fall.
The glass panel may now be washed at the sink. Stubborn stains
can be removed by using a fine steel wool soap pad. Ensure the
glass panel is not subjected to any sharp mechanical blows.
Take particular care not to damage the inner surface which is coat-
ed with a heat reflective layer. After cleaning, rinse and dry with a
soft cloth. For slight soiling the inner glass panel may be cleaned,
while still warm, without removing it from the door.
Warning: Oven must not be operated with inner door glass
removed.
Warning: Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply
before replacing the oven lamp.
The surface of the ‘Stayclean’ oven liners are treated on the mottled
face with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At
temperatures of 220
o
C (425
o
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.
Oven Liners – sides
It should not normally be necessary to clean the ‘Stayclean’ 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.
The outside of the cooker should be cleaned regularly to keep it
looking like new.
Wipe over with a soft cloth wrung out in hot water and dry with a soft
clean cloth.
You can use mild non abrasive cleaners but always read the
manufacturer’s instructions first.
Always test their suitability on a small area of the cooker not
noticeable in normal use.
NOTE: Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners
which may scratch the surface.
Wear protective gloves when cleaning any part of your
cooker.
