!Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.

!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.

Cleaning materials to avoid:

1.Plastic or nylon pads

2.Household abrasive powders and scourers. These may scratch the surface.

Ceramic hotplates:

Clean your Ceramic hob top regularly and avoid repeated burning of encrusted contamination.

Your choice of cleaner will depend on the degree of soiling involved (see below).

•minor soiling, where the contamination has not burnt hard, can be wiped off with a clean wet cloth

•major soiling and strongly-adhering burnt encrustation can be quickly and easily removed with a razor-blade scraper

•hard water stains, grease spots and discoloration having a metallic sheen can be removed with 'Easy Do Cleaner Powder'

•always condition hob after cleaning by using 'Easy

Do Conditioner' or 'Hob Brite'. Apply a small amount	GB
of conditioner with a clean damp cloth or paper
towel. Rub vigorously. Remove excess with a clean
damp cloth or paper towel. Polish with a clean cloth
or paper towel before the conditioner dries.

Detergent residues must always be completely removed with a clean wet cloth, (even if the instructions for use suggest otherwise), as they can have an etching effect when reheated.

Then wipe dry.

To maintain hob in good condition, we would recommend regular use of the 'Easy Do Powder Cleanser'.

Sprinkle Powder Cleanser on a clean damp cloth or paper towel and rub vigorously for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove all residue with a clean damp cloth or paper towel. Then use conditioner to protect the hob.

For more stubborn marks, mix a small amount of the powder cleanser with 'Jif Lemon Juice' (from a bottle) and carefully spread over the affected area. Cover with a damp paper towel and leave for a minimum of 15 minutes. Rub vigorously. Remove excess with a clean damp cloth or paper towel before the conditioner dries. Polish with a clean cloth or paper towel.

Easy Do products are available from many electrical retailers and our Parts Department.

Homecare 'Hob Brite' is available from leading Supermarkets.

'STAY CLEAN'Oven liners

Refer to the instructions below for cleaning the 'Stay clean' panels.

How "STAY CLEAN" works:

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.
