Care and Cleaning
24
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.
Take care that the rating label edges are not lifted during cleaning, and
furthermore that the lettering is not blurred or removed.
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 rod shelf and the floor of the
compartment.
Wipe over the grill door glass panel with a cloth wrung out in hot soapy
water, then after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a
soft clean cloth. Ensure that the glass panel is not subjected to any
sharp mechanical blows.
1. 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 coated
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.
2. Remove the rod shelves and meat pan.
Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the
rod shelves, meat pan and the floor of the oven.
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 tempera-
tures 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.
