Oven Cavity
The enamelled 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.
If the soilage has become set, after the oven has
cooled down, the following process will help to
soften the splatters to help make cleaning easier.
F1. Place the grill/ meat pan on the oven shelf
positioned in the lowest runner.
2. Add a few drops of washing-up liquid to
the pan and fill to about 12 mm. with boiling
water from the kettle.
3. Close the oven door, turn the oven function
knob on fan oven and set the thermostat
knob on 50°C.
4. After 15 minutes, turn off the thermostat
and allow the fan oven to continue without
heat for a further 5 minutes, when the tempe-
rature of the water will have cooled down.
5. Carefully remove the pan of water from
the oven and use normal oven cleaners to
clean away soil residues.
6. Leave a small amount of soapy water to
soak into any burned on spillage on the floor
of the oven for a longer time if necessary.
Oven Shelves
To clean the oven shelves, soak in warm soapy
water and remove stubborn marks with a well
wetted soap impregnated pad. Rinse well and dry
with a soft cloth.The shelf supports can be removed
for easy cleaning (see diagram). Please, ensure
the retaining nuts are secure when refitting the
shelf support.
Before cleaning always allow the cooling
fan to cool the cooker down before
switching off at the electricity supply.
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.
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.
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 liquid detergent has
been added.
To prevent damaging or weakening the
door glass panels avoid the use of the
following:
Household detergent and bleaches
Impegnated 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 clean the oven door while the
glass panels are warm. If this precaution
is not observed the glass panel may
shatter.
If the door glass panel becomes chipped
or has deep scratches, the glass will be
weakened and must be replaced to
prevent the possibility of the panel
shattering. Contact your local Service
Force Centre who will be pleased to advise
further.
