MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

The oven should be kept clean at all times. A build-up of fats or other foodstuffs could result in a fire, especially in the grill pan.

Before cleaning, ensure all control knobs are in the OFF position, and the appliance has cooled completely.

-Raise the door slightly and pull it straight outwards away from the oven. The door

will come completely off. See picture 2.

- When replacing the door, locate it back into the hinge holes. Pull it down fully and slip the rings off the claw-like hooks.

Cleaning materials

Before using any cleaning materials on your oven, 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.

External cleaning

Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven door and door seal using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a little washing up liquid has been added.
