Hotpoint 61DC - Manual (Page 32)

Refer to the instructions below for cleaning the ‘Stay clean’ panels.
The surfaces of the ‘Stay clean’ oven liners are treated on the mottled face with a special
vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220˚C (425˚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 operations 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 in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven
without a meat pan at maximum setting for a couple of hours.

It should not normally be necessary to clean the ‘Stay clean’ panels in water. If the user feels it is
desirable to do so, wash them in warm soapy water, followed by rinsing in clean water. Do not
use enzyme/biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or oven chemical cleaners of any
kind.
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 hot 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.
Take care that the rating label edges are not lifted during cleaning, and furthermore that
the lettering is not blurred or removed.
Wipe with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.
