GB Switching off the electricity Cleaning the main oven

!Turn off the mains switch before cleaning it and before all maintenance operations.

●Before switching on again, ensure that all controls are in the OFF position.

!Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners / powders which may scratch the surface. Under no circumstances should abrasive cleaning materials be used.

Remove the rod shelves and meat pan. Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod shelves, meat pan and the floor of the oven. Refer to the instructions below for cleaning the oven liners.

!Do not use aerosol cleaners on this oven as they could adversely affect the fan motor unit, and cannot be wiped off the fan blade.

Cleaning the exterior

The outside of both ovens can be cleaned, when cooled down, using a cloth which has been rinsed in warm soapy water. The oven can then be wiped down with a clean dry cloth.

!Never use an abrasive powder as this will damage the surface.

Decorative Trims

It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to prevent any build up of soiling which may detract from the appearance of the appliance.

The recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over the trims with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water, or mild non-abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner on a small area of trim which is not noticeable in normal use), then after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.

Door & control panel trims

Regularly wipe with a clean damp cloth and polish with a clean dry cloth.

Cleaning the top oven

Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod shelves, grill pan and floor and roof of the oven.

How the oven liners work

The surfaces of the oven liners are treated on the surface with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220˚C (425˚F) or above, the special surface enables these soils to be slowly destroyed.

The higher the temperature, the more effective it is. In most cases normal cooking operations at this temperature will permit this cleaning operation to proceed during cooking.

However if higher cooking temperatures are not used regularly, it may be necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven without meat pan, at maximum setting for a couple of hours in Fan Oven mode ONLY. This may be necessary once a month or every two or three months depending on the type and amount of oven cooking.

It should not normally be necessary to clean the oven liners with water. If the user feels it is desirable to do so, wash them down in warm, soapy water then rinse with clear wate.

Replacement oven liners are available should you require them, from your nearest Service Centre (see Service).

!Do not use biological/ enzyme washing powder, harsh abrasives or oven chemical cleaners of any kind.

Replacement of Oven Lamp

The oven lamp is not covered by the guarantee. This part is easy to replace:

1.Open the oven door and remove the rod shelves.

2.Grip the light glass dome, unscrew anti-clockwise and lift out.

3.Reach into the aperture with fingers and unscrew the faulty lamp anti-clockwise. Fit a replacement lamp (15W 300˚C SES) which can be obtained

from your nearest Service Centre (see Service), and refit dome.

!When screwing and unscrewing the faulty lamp use a thick cloth to protect your fingers should the lamp break.
