Cleaning your cooker
Essential information
Before thorough cleaning isolate the electricity
supply. Remember to switch on the electricity supply
before use.
Never use paint solvents, washing soda, caustic
cleaners, biological powders, bleach, chlorine
based bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt.
Don’t mix different cleaning products - they
may react together with hazardous results.
Recommended cleaning materials are shown in
the table at the end of this section.
All parts of the ovens can be cleaned with hot soapy
water - but take care that no surplus water seeps
into the appliance.
For cleaning materials see the ‘Cleaning Table’ at the
end of this section.
Control Panel and Doors
Avoid using any abrasive cleaners including cream
cleaners, e.g. Cif, on brushed Stainless Steel surfaces.
For best results use washing up liquid in hot water.
The control panel and control knobs should only
be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung out in clean hot
soapy water. Wipe with a clean dampened cloth then
polish with a dry cloth. The oven doors should only
be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung out in clean hot
soapy water.
Ovens
The ovens have removable panels that have been
coated with a special enamel that partly cleans itself.
This does not stop all marks on the lining, but helps
to reduce the amount of manual cleaning needed.
The Cook & Clean panels work better above
200°C. If you do most of your cooking below this
temperature, occasionally remove the panels and
wipe with a lint free cloth and hot soapy water.
The panels should then be dried and replaced and
the oven heated at 200°C for about one hour. This
will ensure the Cook & Clean panels are working
effectively.
Don’t use steel wool (Brillo) or any other materials
that will scratch the surface. Don’t use oven cleaning
pads.
Removing the Oven Linings
Remove the shelves first.
The side panels of either oven can then be removed.
Each side of the oven is fixed with four fixing screws.
You don’t have to remove the screws to remove the
oven linings. Lift each side panel upwards and they
will slide off the screws. Then pull them forwards.
Once the linings are removed, the oven enamel
interior can be cleaned.
