CARE AND CLEANING
BEFORE CLEANING ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE APPLIANCE DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING OFF AT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
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 must also be avoided to prevent damaging the stainless steel or painted finishes.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials, e.g. Hob Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed finishes as damage may occur.
Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors and appliance sides using a soft cloth and hot soapy water. To prevent streaking on stainless steel models finish with a soft cloth. Any spillage on the stainless steel finish must be wiped off immediately.
Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and should be avoided as they may dull the surface finish.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE APPLIANCE AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD.
Under no circumstances should the door assembly be detached from the product for cleaning. Please refer to the cleaning instructions.
Aerosol cleaners must not come into contact with the grill element as this may cause damage.
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVENS
The Stayclean surface inside the ovens should not be cleaned manually. See 'Care of Stayclean Surfaces'. The vitreous enamel top oven base and main 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 with the elements or the door seal as this may cause damage.
CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES
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.
HINTS AND TIPS
Manual cleaning of the Stayclean surface IS NOT recommended. Damage will occur if abrasives or aerosol sprays of any kind are used.
Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean surfaces may occur in time. This DOES NOT affect the Stayclean properties in any way.
A good time to allow the oven to run on is after the weekly roast. After removing the roast, turn the oven up to 220°C and allow to run for an hour or so. It is important NOT to allow a
Follow the recommendations below to keep oven soilage to minimum.
