AEG 3009VNM-M Only place cookware on oven shelves, Recommended cleaners, Routine cleaning

A little soap or detergent may be added to the washing water but too much can produce a cloudy film over the appliance. Use of steel wool is not recommended but stainless steel wool (a fine mesh pad) is an excellent cleaning aid. Oil or grease in the washing water can leave a rainbow film when it dries. It can easily be removed by simply using polishing and cleaning methods described previously. Thoroughly rinsing with clean water is the real secret and it a surprise how easily stainless steel can be kept sparkling clean by using the above simple method.

Never leave stainless steel to dry by itself.

3. Only place cookware on oven shelves.

Other surfaces such as trims are not totally resistant to hard materials or direct heat and may be permanently damaged by such use.

Recommended cleaners

Mild detergents and warm water together with a clean, soft, non-abrasive cloth achieve goods results for normal cleaning. Diluted washes with ammonia and water should rinse away any adhesive residue or gummy deposits on the appliance surfaces. Eucalyptus oil (small amounts) is also good for removing adhesive residue. Alcohol based products (eg: methylated spirit, etc.) are not recommended. Brand name cream cleansers and concentrates, without abrasive qualities, can be used in small amounts to break down greasy deposits and dirt. After cleaning make sure cleaned surfaces are thoroughly rinsed to prevent any risk of baked on cleaner residues and wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.

NOTE:

When cleaning stainless steel surfaces AEG recommend 3M brand or Advance stainless steel cleaner. Other reputable brand cleaners specifically formulated for cleaning stainless steel may also be acceptable. Do not use steel soap pads or abrasive scourers of any kind. The abrasive qualities of these pads will ruin the even brushed finish of the stainless steel and any residual metal fibers may corrode causing a rusty/dull appearance. Metal polishes with abrasive qualities are also not recommended.

WARNING:

Do not use any acid or caustic cleansers or abrasive powders or scourers on the interior or exterior of the appliance.

Routine cleaning

Ensure all controls are in the off position and the appliance is cool before cleaning. When wiping stainless steel surfaces with a brushed finish, wipe in the same directions as the brushing.

To clean the oven interior, fully open (side opening door/s) or remove the door/s (top opening type, see opposite page) for better access while cleaning. The shelves and shelf guides can be lifted out for cleaning by removing the relevant thumb screws. The shelves and shelf guides can be washed manually but are also dishwasher safe.

If using commercial oven cleaners, choose only non-caustic cleaners and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Avoid contact with elements, rubber door seals and exterior surfaces.

After cleaning make sure all surfaces are thoroughly rinsed and wiped dry with a clean, soft cloth.
