CARE AND CLEANING
BEFORE CLEANING ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE APPLIANCE DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING OFF AT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
CLEANING MATERIALS
Before using any cleaning materials on your appliance, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives should also be avoided.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials e.g. Hob Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed finishes as damage may occur. Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors and cooker sides using a soft cloth and liquid detergent. To prevent streaking on stainless steel models (where applicable) finish with a soft cloth. Any spillage on the stainless steel finish must be wiped off immediately.
Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and should be avoided as they may dull the surface finish.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE APPLIANCE AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD.
CLEANING THE CONTROL KNOBS AND HANDLES
It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water is used for cleaning the control knobs and door handles. ANY OTHER CLEANING MATERIALS WILL DULL THE SURFACE FINISH.
Under no circumstances should the door assembly be detached from the product for cleaning. Please refer to the cleaning instructions.
CLEANING INSIDE THE TOP OVEN / GRILL AND MAIN OVEN COMPARTMENTS
The vitreous enamel coating in the top oven/grill compartment and main oven compartment can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.
Aerosol cleaners must not come into contact with elements or the door seal as this may cause damage.

The grill element is hinged to make cleaning the oven roof easier.
Switch off the appliance from the electricity supply before cleaning and ensure the oven is cold.

5.Gently push the grill element back into place.
6.Fit the screws to hold the element in place and tighten firmly.
