MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
The oven should be kept clean at all
times. A build-up of fats or other
foodstuffs could result in a fire,
especially in the grill pan.
Before cleaning, ensure all control
knobs are in the OFF position, and the
appliance has cooled completely.
Before any maintenance or cleaning can
be carried out, you must DISCONNECT
the cooker from the electricity supply.
Cleaning materials
Before using any cleaning materials on your
oven, check that they are suitable and that their
use is recommended by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should
NOT be used as they may dull the
surface finishes. Harsh abrasives should
also be avoided.
External cleaning
Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven door
and door seal using a soft cloth well wrung out in
warm water to which a little washing up liquid
has been added.
To prevent damaging or weakening the
door glass panels avoid the use of the
following:
• Household detergent and bleaches
• Impregnated pads unsuitable for non
stick saucepans
• Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
• Chemical oven pads or aerosols
• Rust removers
• Bath/Sink stain removers
Stainless steel parts should be periodically
cleaned with a proprietary stainless steel
cleaner.
Oven Door
- The door can be dismantled for cleaning as
follows:
- Open the door completely
- Insert hook C into the hinged part D.
- Partially close the door. to approximately
half-way.
- Using both hands, pull the door towards you
until it is released from the hinge.
- To replace the door, reverse the above
procedure ensuring that part F locks into
place.
The internal oven door glass can be removed for
cleaning. To do this loosen the 2 fixing screws
(B). Clean the outer and inner door glass using
warm soapy water. Should the inner door glass
become heavily soiled it is recommended that a
cleaning product such as Hob Brite, or Bar
Keepers Friend be used.
Always support the door while removing the
glass panel as the door may spring closed
due to its lighter weight
DO NOT clean the oven door while the
glass panels are warm. If this
precaution is not observed the glass
panel may shatter.
If the door glass panel becomes
chipped or has deep scratches, the
glass will be weakened and must be
replaced to prevent the possibility of
the panel shattering.
Contact your local Service Force Centre
who will be pleased to advise further.
IMPORTANT: The inner door glass must be in
place when using the oven.
