DOs
Before any manual cleaning or maintenance, first wait for the oven to cool down to a safe temperature to touch, then disconnect it from the power supply.
Read these cleaning instructions and the ‘Safety and warnings’ section before you start cleaning your oven.
See the following pages for instructions on removing and refitting different parts of the oven for cleaning.
To prevent soiling from becoming ‘baked on’ and stubborn, we recommend removing any spills, food or grease stains from the oven cavity enamel after each use.

Don’t leave alkaline (salty spills) or acidic substances (such as lemon juice or vinegar) on the oven surfaces.
