Care and Cleaning

Grill

Remove the grill pan and the wire grid food support, it is best to wash these items immediately after
use to prevent stains from being burnt on when used again. Wipe out the Grill compartment, use a fine
steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the grill runners and the floor of the compartment.
Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.

Control Panel

Do not use cream cleaners, oven cleaners or aerosols, scouring pads or abrasive powder for
cleaning the plastic knobs as damage will occur.

Decorative Trims

It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to prevent any build up of soiling. 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.

Ovens

Remove the rod shelves and grill pan. Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from
the rod shelves, grill pan and the floor of the oven. 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.

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.

Oven Lamp
Replacement

Open the oven door and remove the rod shelves. Using a suitable cloth to protect the fingers grip the
light glass dome, unscrew anti-clockwise and lift. Reach into the aperture with fingers, and unscrew the
lamp anticlockwise. Fit replacement lamp (25W 300°C rated SES), refit dome.

WARNING: To avoid electric shocks - please ensure that the electricity supply to the appliance

is switched off and the appliance is fully cold, before removing the lamp lens.

Glass covers

The covers should be cleaned with hot water; the use of rough cloths or abrasives is to be avoided.
N.B.: Avoid closing the cover while the gas burners and electric plates are still warm. Remove
any liquid from the lid before opening it.
