Care and Cleaning
27
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.
Take care that the rating label edges are not lifted during cleaning, and
furthermore that the lettering is not blurred or removed.
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/Top oven compartment, use a fine steel wool soap
pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod shelf, grill deflector plate and the
floor of the compartment.
Wipe over the grill door decorative outer panel with a cloth wrung out in
warm soapy water, then after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry
with a soft clean cloth.
Ensure that the glass panels are not subjected to any sharp mechanical
blows.
Inner Glass Door – open the door fully and unscrew the two
screws securing the glass panel, taking care not to allow the glass
to fall. The glass panel may now be washed at the sink. Stubborn
stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool soap pad.
Ensure
the glass panel is not subjected to any sharp mechanical blows.
Take particular care not to damage the inner surface which is coated
with a heat reflective layer. After cleaning, rinse and dry with a soft
cloth. For slight soiling the inner glass panel may be cleaned, while
still warm, without removing it from the door.
Remove the rod shelves and meat pan.
Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the
rod shelves, meat pan and the floor of the oven.
Warning: Oven must not be operated with inner door glass removed.
Warning: Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply before
replacing the oven lamp.
The surface of the ‘Stayclean’ oven liners are treated on the mottled face with a
special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220
o C
(425 o F) or above, the special surface enables these soils to be slowly destroyed.
The higher the temperature the more effective it is. In most cases normal
cooking operation at this temperature will permit this cleaning operation to
proceed during cooking. However if higher cooking temperatures are not used
regularly it may be necessary, to prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven without
a meat pan at maximum setting for a couple of hours. This may be necessary
once a month or once every two or three months depending on the type and
amount of oven cooking.
Oven Liners – sides
It should not normally be necessary to clean the ‘Stayclean’ panels in water. If
desirable remove the rod shelves and the side panels and wash them in warm
soapy water, followed by rinsing in clean water.
