Care and Cleaning

TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH BEFORE CLEANING.

Before switching on again, ensure that all controls are in the OFF position.

Cleaning the Exterior

The outside of both ovens can be cleaned, when cooled down, using a cloth which has been rinsed in warm soapy water. The oven can then be wiped down with a clean dry cloth. Never use an abrasive powder as this will damage the surface.

Lower Oven

Remove the rod shelves and meat pan. Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod shelves, meat pan and the floor of the oven. Refer to the instruction opposite for cleaning the ‘Stay Clean’ panels. Do not use aerosol cleaners on this oven as they could adversely affect the fan motor unit, and cannot be wiped off the fan blade.

Decorative Trims

It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to prevent any build up of soiling which may detract from the appearance of the Cooker. The recommended method of cleaning

is to wipe over the trims with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water, or mild non-abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner on a small area of trim which is not noticeable in normal use), then after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.

Door & control panel trims Regularly wipe with a clean damp cloth and polish with a clean dry cloth.

Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners/powders which may scratch the surface. Under no circumstances should abrasive cleaning materials be used.

Top Oven

Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod shelves, grill pan and floor and roof of the oven.

Stay Clean Oven Liners

Refer to the instructions below for cleaning the following Stay Clean panels; Oven – side and rear panels.

How Stay Clean Oven Liners Work

The surfaces of the Stay Clean oven liners are treated on the mottled face with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220˚C (425˚F) 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 operations 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, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven without meat pan, at maximum setting for a couple of hours in Fan Oven mode ONLY. This may be necessary once a month or every two or three

months depending on the type and amount of oven cooking.
