Care and Cleaning

ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AT THE MAIN WALL SWITCH AND ALLOW THE APPLIANCE TO COOL BEFORE CLEANING.

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. Harsh abrasives should also be avoided.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE

DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials, or scourers on the outside of the appliance as some of the finishes are painted and damage may occur. Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as they may dull the surface finishes. Regularly wipe over the control panel, splashback, oven doors and cooker sides using a soft cloth and liquid detergent.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE PANEL AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD

CLEANING THE HOB AND HOTPLATE TRIMS

Clean the hob surface with liquid detergent or a mild abrasive cleaner, e.g. Cif.

The chrome hotplate trims are removable for cleaning, and can be washed in the dishwasher. The chrome hotplate supports should NOT be removed.

CLEANING THE SPILLAGE TRAY, GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE

All removable parts, except the Stayclean oven panels and grill pan handle can be washed in the dishwasher.

The grill pan, grill pan grid, spillage tray and oven shelves can be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad. Soaking first in soapy water will make cleaning easier.

CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND GRILL COMPARTMENTS

The vitreous enamel in the grill compartment and on the oven base can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners with care.

Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.

Aerosol cleaners must not be used on Stayclean surfaces and must not come into contact wit elements as this may cause damage.

CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES

Your appliance has oven linings coated with a special finish to help make cleaning the oven easier.

The Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and fats when the oven temperature is raised to around 220°c.

It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two per week to ensure continued good performance from the Stayclean finish.

THINGS TO NOTE

When operating the appliance at higher temperatures than used in normal cooking the surfaces of the appliance may get hotter than usual. Children should be kept away.
