‘Stay Clean’ liners are covered with a special enamel which absorbs
cooking soils. At higher temperatures the soiling is slowly destroyed. In
most cases normal cooking at higher temperatures will permit this
cleaning to take place automatically.
However, if higher cooking temperatures are not used regularly then it
may be necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven at
maximum temperature for at least two hours, from time to time.
The ‘Stay Clean’ liners can be washed in warm soapy water followed by
rinsing in clear water. Dry well with a soft cloth.
NOTE: Do not use enzyme washing powder, harsh abrasives or
chemical oven cleaners of any kind.
The oven shelves can be cleaned either in a dishwasher or by using a
fine steel wool soap pad. The grill and meat pans can be cleaned in warm
soapy water using a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains
or in a dishwasher.
They should be cleaned after each use.
To clean the oven interiors remove all the oven fittings and where
applicable the ‘Stay Clean’ liners.
All types of oven cleaners can be used, but do not allow abrasive
cleaners or oven spray to come into contact with the ‘Stay Clean’ liners.
Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains.
The inner door glass panel can be removed for easy cleaning, see page
37.
The outside of the cooker should be cleaned regularly to keep it looking
like new.
Wipe over with a soft cloth wrung out in warm 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 innormal use.
NOTE: DO NOT use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners as they may
scratch the surface.
Wear protective gloves when cleaning any part of your cooker.
Regularly wipe with a clean, damp cloth and polish with a clean, dry cloth.
