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. A build-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 liquid detergent 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

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 Service Force Centre who will be pleased to advise further.

Oven Cavity

The enamelled base of the oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the oven is still warm.

Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water after each use. From time to time it will be necessary to do a more thorough cleaning, using a proprietary oven cleaner.

DO NOT attempt to clean catalytic liners.

Oven Shelves and Shelf Supports

To clean the oven shelves and the shelf supports, soak in warm soapy water and remove stubborn marks with a well wetted soap impregnated pad. Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.

The shelf supports can be removed for easy cleaning (see diagram 24). Please, ensure the retaining nuts are secure when refitting the shelf support.
