Care and Cleaning

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

1. “STAYCLEAN” OVEN LINERS (Top Oven sides, Main Oven sides and rear panel)

TOP OVEN SIDE LINERS

MAIN OVEN SIDE LINERS,

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.

It should not normally be necessary to clean the "Stayclean" panels with water. If the user feels it is 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 (Main Oven rear panel).

PAN

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.
