Please read the following section to ensure that the correct cleaning is carried out to maintain your ovens appearance. Your oven has been produced using several different finishes, due to this please follow the recommended cleaning instructions to avoid permanent damage.
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock or burns, ensure that all oven controls are turned off. Only clean your oven when it is cool. Do not use harsh / abrasive cleaning agents, waxes, pumice cleaners, polishes or commercial oven cleaners to clean your oven.
CLEANING THE CONTROL PANEL, OVEN DOOR AND HANDLE
It may be useful to lock the oven controls prior to cleaning – see Control Panel Lock on page 22 for details.
Brushed Stainless Steel can be cleaned with a commercial stainless steel cleaner, see ‘Warning’ below or wiped with a clean damp cloth and dried with a lint free cloth. Regular use of a stainless steel cleaner will reduce fingerprints and other marks. Do not use abrasive cleaners on stainless steel, as they will permanently damage the surface.
Iridium (Matt Stainless Steel) This easy clean surface requires only a mild dishwash detergent and warm water. Rinse and then dry with a lint free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners on Iridium as they will permanently damage the surface.
WARNING
If you choose to use a commercial stainless steel cleaner, please read the label to ensure it does not contain chlorine compounds as these are corrosive and may damage the appearance of your oven. Clean the stainless steel surfaces with the grain, in a horizontal motion.
CLEANING THE DOOR GLASS
Clean the exterior glass surface with a mild solution of detergent and warm water. Use a glass cleaner to remove any smears or fingerprints. Dry the glass using a soft lint free cloth. The interior oven door glass will be cleaned during the Self Clean cycle.
CLEANING THE PORCELAIN ENAMELLED SURFACES
The oven interior and inner door liners are finished in porcelain enamel and are cleaned during the Self Clean cycle.
WARNING
DO NOT USE ANY OVEN CLEANERS, OVEN CLEANING PRODUCTS OR ABRASIVES ON THE PORCELAIN ENAMEL
Always remove excess grease and any soil from the interior of the oven and door before commencing the Self Clean mode. Do not clean the door or cavity seals (gaskets) or use any oven cleaning products on the seals. They are essential for a good seal and the efficient operation of the oven and care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the seals.
CLEANING THE BROILING SYSTEM AND OVEN SHELVES
The broiling system and oven shelves can be cleaned using a solution of detergent and hot water. If particularly soiled, soak in a sink of hot soapy water to make cleaning easier. Remove oven shelves before starting a ‘Self Clean’. If the oven shelves are left in the oven during Self Clean mode, they will permanently discolor.
