Cleaning the Oven

Before cleaning always allow the cooling fan to cool the oven down before switching off at the electricity supply.

This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or with a steam cleaning machine.

The oven should be kept clean at all times.

Abuild-up of fats or other foodstuffs could result in a fire, especially in the grill pan.

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 mild washing-up liquid has been added.

To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass panels avoid the use of the following:

•Household detergent and bleaches

•Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans

• Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads

•Chemical oven pads or aerosols

•Rust removers

•Bath/Sink stain removers

Before cleaning the oven door, we recommend you to remove it from the oven.

Proceed as follows:

1 . open the oven door completely;

2 . find the hinges linking the door to the oven (see diagram 1);

3 . unlock and turn the small levers located on the two hinges (see diagram 2);

4 . handle the door by its left- and right-hand sides, then slowly turn it towards the oven until it is half-closed (see diagram 3);

5 . gently pull the oven door off its site (see diagram 3);

6 . place it on a steady plan;

Clean the outer and inner door glass using warm soapy water. Should the inner door glass become heavily soiled it is recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob Brite is used. Do not use paint scrapers to remove soilage.

DO NOT clean the oven door while the glass panels are warm. If this precaution is not observed the glass panel may shatter.

If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has deep scratches, the glass will be weakened and must be replaced to prevent the possibility of the panel shattering. Contact your local Repair agent who will be pleased to advise further.
