Care and Cleaning
TURN OFF COOKER AT MAIN WALL SWITCH BEFORE CLEANING
Before switching on again, ensure that all controls are in the OFF position.
Refer to instructions below for cleaning the 'Cookclean' removable side oven panels.
Glass Lid (Glass)
Clean with a cloth wrung out in soapy water. Stubborn stains can be removed with a cream, paste or liquid cleaner, or by gently rubbing with liberally soaped, very fine steel wool pads. Polish with a clean dry cloth or kitchen roll.
Glass Lid (Painted Trims)
Clean with a cloth wrung out in hot soapy water only. Polish with a clean dry cloth or kitchen roll.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVES.
Burners
The pan supports can be removed and the top burner plate can be cleaned with soapy water and rinsed with a dry cloth. Wash and rinse the gas burner caps and the pan supports with soapy water. Never wash them in a dishwasher. For the dirt and stains on the burner heads that does not wash off, use a proprietary metal surface cleaner
Vitreous Enamel Hob Surround
Clean with a cloth wrung out in soapy water. Stubborn stains can be removed with a cream, paste or liquid cleaner, or by gently rubbing with liberally soaped, very fine steel wool pads.
Control Panel
Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth. Do not use oven cleaners or aerosols scouring pads or abrasive powder for cleaning the plastic knobs, as damage will occur.
How 'Cookclean' Oven Liners Work (If fitted)
The surfaces of the 'Cookclean' oven liners are treated on the mottled face with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils at temperatures of 220°C (Gas Mk 6) or above, the special
surface enables these soils to be slowly destroyed. The higher the temperature the more effective it is. In most cases normal cooking operation at this temperature will permit this cleaning operation to proceed during cooking. However if higher cooking temperatures are not used regularly it may be necessary, to prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven at a higher temperature setting of 230°C (Gas Mk 9) for a couple of hours. This may be necessary once a month or once every two or three months, depending on the type and amount of oven cooking.
'Cookclean Panels' (If fitted)
It should not normally be necessary to clean the 'Cookclean' panels in water. If the user feels it is desirable to do so, remove the rod shelf and the side panels and wash them in warm soapy water, followed by rinsing in clear water.
Do not use enzyme/biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or oven chemical cleaners of any kind.
Do not rub the surface dry as it can damage the 'Cookclean' finish. After cleaning, replace the panels immediately and run the oven at maximum setting for about 30 minutes to prevent deterioration of the enamel.
