Cleaning and Maintenance

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.

Important: Before carrying out any cleaning operation, the appliance must be disconnected from the power supply.

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

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.

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.

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.
