Care and Cleaning
! 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.
! The accessories can be washed like averyday
crockery (even in your dishwasher).
! Switch off the electricity supply and allow to
cool before cleaning the cooker.
! Clean the cooker regularly and wipe up spills
soon after they occur to prevent them from
becoming burnt on. Never use biological
washing powder, caustic cleaners, harsh
abrasives, scouring pads, steam cleaners,
aerosol cleaners or oven chemical cleaners of
any kind.
! Before moving your cooker ensure that it is cool
and note that it is heavy so you may require
assistance. The cooker is fitted with rear wheels and
will slide in and out of position easily.
Movement of your cooker is most easily achieved as
follows:
Open the grill/oven door sufficiently to allow a
comfortable grip on the underside front edge of the
oven roof, avoiding contact with any grill or oven
furniture and then lift and slide at the same time.
When repositioning the cooker, ensure that it is
level. Take care to ensure that any floor covering is
not damaged.
'HEAT CLEAN' LINERS
The oven linings are coated with a special enamel
which has a continuous cleaning action. The higher
the oven temperature the more effective the action.
In most cases this cleaning operation will proceed
during normal cooking.
However, if high temperatures are not used regularly
it may be necessary to run the oven empty at
maximum setting for one hour. If desired, they can
be wiped over with a soapy cloth followed by a wipe
with a clean, damp cloth.
CLEANING THE GRIDDLE PLATE
After cooking, leave the griddle plate on the hob and
allow to cool before cleaning. It can then be taken to
the sink and washed using warm soapy water,
gently wipe the cooking surface with a dishcloth. DO
NOT use abrasive cleaning materials.
