CARE AND CLEANING
BEFORE CLEANING ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE APPLIANCE DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING OFF AT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
CLEANING MATERIALS
Before using any cleaning materials on your appliance, 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. Abrasives must also be avoided to prevent damaging the stainless steel or painted finishes.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials, e.g. Hob Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed finishes as damage may occur.
Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors and appliance sides using a soft cloth and hot soapy water. To prevent streaking on stainless steel models finish with a soft cloth. Any spillage on the stainless steel finish must be wiped off immediately.
Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and should be avoided as they may dull the surface finish.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE PANEL AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD.
Under no circumstances should the door assembly be detached from the product for cleaning. Please refer to the cleaning instructions.
CLEANING INSIDE THE TOP AND MAIN OVEN COMPARTMENT
