The Ovens
Cleaning is easier if carried out while the oven is
still warm. Before cleaning, cover the burner to
prevent the burner holes becoming blocked.
The inside of the oven and inner door panel can
be cleaned using an approved cleaner see the
table at the end of this section.
Take care not to disturb the oven thermostat
temperature sensor at the top of the oven
opening.
The enamelled oven burner trim (supplied with
some models only) can be removed for cleaning.
The oven burner trim hooks onto the front of the
oven burner bracket.
When refitting make sure that the trim is in the
middle of the front of the oven burner bracket.
The Oven side linings
The oven has removable oven side lining panels
that have been coated with 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
gas Mark 6. 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 Gas Mark 7 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.
Before cleaning the oven, cover the burner at
the rear to stop the holes getting blocked as you
clean. If they are accidentally blocked, clean
them out with thin wire, such as fuse wire.
Removing the Oven Linings
The lining panels can be removed for cleaning
and for cleaning behind. Remove the shelves
first.
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.
