‘Stay Clean’ liners are covered with a special enamel which absorbs
cooking soils. At higher temperatures the soiling is slowly destroyed.
In most cases normal cooking at higher temperatures will permit
this cleaning to take place automatically.
However, if higher cooking temperatures are not used regularly
then it may be necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run
the oven at maximum temperature for at least two hours, from
time to time.
The ‘Stay Clean’ liners can be washed in warm soapy water followed
by rinsing in clear water. Dry well with a soft cloth.
NOTE: Do not use enzyme washing powder, harsh abrasives or
chemical oven cleaners of any kind.
The oven shelves can be cleaned either in a dishwasher or by using a
fine steel wool soap pad. The grill and meat pans can be cleaned in
warm soapy water using a fine steel wool soap pad to remove
stubborn stains or in a dishwasher.
They should be cleaned after each use.
To clean the oven interiors remove all the oven fittings and where
applicable the ‘Stay Clean’ liners.
All types of oven cleaners can be used, but do not allow abrasive
cleaners or oven spray to come into contact with the ‘Stay Clean’
liners.
Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains.
The inner door glass panel can be removed for easy cleaning, see
page 32.
The outside of the cooker should be cleaned regularly to keep it
looking like new.
Wipe over with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water and dry with a
soft clean cloth.
You can use mild non abrasive cleaners but always read the
manufacturer’s instructions first. Always test their suitability on a
small
area of the cooker not noticeable in normal use.
NOTE: DO NOT use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners as they may
scratch the surface.
Wear protective gloves when cleaning any part of your cooker.
