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.
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. A steam cleaner is not to be
used. Harsh abrasives should also be
avoided.
External cleaning
We recommend for cleaning cleaners that do
not scratch the surface; Avoid use of metal
objects, steel wool or nylon pads, abrasive or
caustic products, or diluents. Regularly wipe over
the control panel, the cover, 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
Oven Cavity
The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst
the oven is still warm.
Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in
warm soapy water after each use. From time to
time it will be necessary to do a more thorough
cleaning, using a proprietary oven cleaner.
Hob
After every use wipe with a soft cloth well wrung
out in warm water to which a little washing up
liquid has been added, avoiding any leakage
through the holes of the hob. Rinse and dry with a
soft cloth.
To remove more stubborn stains, wet and leave to
dissolve, do not scratch and avoid the use of
abrasive or caustic products that could damage
the enamel.
Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for
cleaning. Wash the burners caps and crowns using
hot soapy water, and remove marks with a mild
paste cleaner. A well-moistened soap impregnated
steel wool pad can be used with caution, if the
marks are particularly difficult to remove.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft
cloth.
