ALL CONTROLS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION.

NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL WASHING POWDER,
HARSH ABRASIVES, SCOURING PADS, AEROSOL
CLEANERS OR OVEN CHEMICAL CLEANERS OF
ANY KIND, UNLESS SPECIFIED BELOW.

! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners
on the appliance.

!

Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge

and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive
material or sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch
the surface and cause the glass to crack.

crockery (even in your dishwasher).

Cleaning materials to avoid:
1. Plastic or nylon pads
2. Household abrasive powders and scourers.These

may scratch the surface.

3. Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads.

Caustic cleaners such as these will etch the surface
and attack the metal frame.

4. Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface.

ALWAYS SWITCH OFF AT THE MAINS SWITCH
BEFORE CLEANING.

Ceramic hotplates:
Clean your Ceramic hob top regularly and avoid
repeated burning of encrusted contamination.

Your choice of cleaner will depend on the degree of
soiling involved (see below).

• minor soiling, where the contamination has not burnt

hard, can be wiped off with a clean wet cloth

• major soiling and strongly-adhering burnt

encrustation can be quickly and easily removed with
a razor-blade scraper

• hard water stains, grease spots and discolouration

having a metallic sheen can be removed with 'Easy
Do Cleaner Powder'

• always condition hob after cleaning by using 'Easy

Do Conditioner' or 'Hob Brite'. Apply a small amount
of conditioner with a clean damp cloth or paper towel.
Rub vigorously. Remove excess with a clean damp
cloth or paper towel. Polish with a clean cloth or paper
towel before the conditioner dries.

Detergent residues must always be completely removed

Care and Cleaning

with a clean wet cloth, (even if the instructions for use
suggest otherwise), as they can have an etching effect
when reheated. Then wipe dry.
To maintain hob in good condition, we would
recommend regular use of the 'Easy Do Powder
Cleanser'.
Sprinkle Powder Cleanser on a clean damp cloth or
paper towel and rub vigorously for 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove all residue with a clean damp cloth or paper
towel.Then use conditioner to protect the hob.
For more stubborn marks, mix a small amount of the
powder cleanser with 'Jif Lemon Juice' (from a bottle)
and carefully spread over the affected area. Cover with a
damp paper towel and leave for a minimum of 15
minutes.Rub vigorously. Remove excess with a clean
damp cloth or paper towel before the conditioner dries.
Polish with a clean cloth or paper towel. Easy Do
products are available from many electrical retailers, our
Parts Department (see Key Contacts, back page) and
our Spares Distributors. Homecare 'Hob Brite' is
available from leading Supermarkets.

Oven shelf supports
The shelf supports are removable and dishwasher safe.
To remove

hold the support at the front and pull away

from the oven side, this can then be cleaned in a sink
or a dishwasher.
When removed it allows access to the oven side,
which can be cleaned with warm soapy water.
To refit

the support, insert the longer leg into the rear

fixing hole and push in the front leg.

Model KT6C3 (S) only:

The grill (top cavity) runners

are fixed and should not be removed for cleaning.
Wipe with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water
followed by a wipe with a damp clean cloth.

Decorative trims
It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to
prevent any build up of soiling which may detract from
the appearance of the cooker.The recommended
method of cleaning is to wipe over the trims with a soft
cloth wrung out in warm water or mild non-abrasive
cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner on a small area of trim
which is not noticeable in normal use).Then, after wiping
with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft
clean cloth.
Never use

scouring pads or abrasive cleaners/

powders which may scratch the surface.

Take care

during cleaning not to damage or distort

the door seals.Do not lift the door seal from the oven
chassis, if necessary remove the seal by carefully
unhooking the corner clips.
