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.

Doors

Wipe over the outer door glass panels 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 glass doors are not

 

subjected to any sharp mechanical blows.

 

Glass Inner Door Panel (where fitted) – 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.

 

Warning: Oven must not be operated with inner door glass removed.

 

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.

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

Replacing the Battery

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.

The battery is not covered bye the guarantee. Use an alkaline AA battery.The battery holder is located in the plinth panel below the oven door. Open the oven door fully. Press the tag on the left hand side of the battery holder/cover and withdraw it just enough to get access to the battery. Fit the new battery with the end marked “+” on the same side of the battery holder as the red lead. Replace the battery holder by pushing it firmly into the hole in the plinth.
