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 temperature 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.
Replacing The Oven Light
If the oven bulb needs replacing, it must comply with the
following specifications:
- Electric power: 15W,
- Electric rate: 230-240 V (50 Hz),
- Resistant to temperatures of 300°C,
- Connection type: E14
These bulbs are available from your local Service Force
Centre.
To replace the faulty bulb:
1. Ensure the oven is disconnected from the electrical
supply.
2. Push in and turn the glass cover anticlockwise.
3. Remove the faulty bulb and replace with the new one.
4. Refit the glass cover and restore the electrical supply.
FO 0287
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
Impregnated 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.
