Care and Cleaning
Regular cleaning is recommended to keep white cookers in its best possible
condition.
Turn OFF the main control unit and allow the cooker to cool before cleaning.
Before switching on again, ensure that all controls are in the OFF position.
'STAY CLEAN' OVEN LINERS AND HOW THEY WORK
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 a higher temperature setting of 230˚C
(450˚F) for a couple of hours. This may be necessary once a month or every two
or three months depending on the type and amount of oven cooking.
OVEN SIDES
It should not normally be necessary to clean the 'Stay clean' panels. If the user
feels it is desirable to do so, pull out the rod shelves, lift up and remove the side
panels before washing them in warm soapy water, and rinsing in clear water.
Do
not use
enzyme/biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or oven
chemical cleaners of any kind.
VITREOUS ENAMEL HOB SURROUND
Clean with a cloth wrung out in soapy water. Stubborn stains can be removed
with a cream, paste or liquid cleaner, or by gently rubbing with liberally soaped,
very fine steel wool pads. Check that the cleaning agent used is approved by the
Vitreous Enamel Development Council.
SEALED HOTPLATES
The cleaning of sealed hotplates should be done when they are cold, using a soap
filled scouring pad, following the grain of the hotplate. This will ensure that any
stubborn, burnt on spillages are removed. Wipe over with a damp clean cloth,
making sure that all the cleaner has been removed. Finally, turn on heater to
warm for a few minutes, then smear with a little cooking oil to provide a protective
coating, or a restorative agent such as Collo-Electrol
®
. This is available from our
Parts Department.
CONTROL PANEL AND SPLASHBACK
Wipe over the control panel and/or splashback with a damp cloth. Polish with a
dry cloth. Do not use oven cleaners or aerosols, scouring pads or abrasive
powder for cleaning the plastic knobs as damage will occur.

Note:
We do not recommend the use of decorative covers over the hot hotplates as these
can hold condensation and cause corrosion. Accidental operation with a cover in place
can cause intense
heat. Never place saucepan lids on the hotplates, as this may cause
corrosion.
