Care and Cleaning

Warning: Before cleaning, please ensure that the electricity supply to the appliance is switched off and the appliance is fully cold.

!Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.

!Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface and cause the glass to crack.

!The accessories can be washed like averyday crockery (even in your dishwasher).

1. "STAYCLEAN" OVEN LINERS

(Top Oven Sides, Main Oven Sides and

Rear Panel)

TOP OVEN SIDES

MAIN OVEN SIDES AND REAR PANEL

(a)How "Stayclean" works.

The surfaces of the "Stayclean" oven liners (Main Oven rear panel) are treated 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.

(b)Cleaning.

In most cases normal cooking operations at 220°C

(425°F) 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 ovens without shelves or meat pan, at a maximum setting for a couple of hours (Fan Oven mode only).

It should not normally be necessary to clean the

"Stayclean" panels with water. If the user feels it is GB desirable to do so, wipe them over with a clean,

soapy cloth, followed by a wipe with a clean damp cloth.

DO NOT use biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or chemical oven cleaners of any kind as this could damage the "Stayclean" oven liners.

(a)Base & Rear of Top Oven and Base of Main Oven.

Wipe out the oven with a damp soapy cloth. For more stubborn stains on the base of the oven use a well soaped fine steel wool soap pad.

(b)Grill Pan, Meat Pan & Oven Shelves.

To prevent stains from being burnt on to the grill pan, food support and rod shelf, always wash immediately after use in warm soapy water. Use a well soaped fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod shelves, grill pan, meat pan and the base of the oven.

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.

(c) Solarplus Grill.

To clean the Solarplus Grill, use a clean, damp, soapy cloth and wipe over. If stubborn stains remain, gently clean with a well soaped nylon scouring pad and wipe over with a damp cloth.

DO NOT use metal cleaning utensils, wire wool or proprietary oven cleaners on the grill element mesh.
