Care and Cleaning of the Oven

WARNING: BEFORE CLEANING, SWITCH THE COOKER OFF AT THE MAINS COOKER CONTROL PANEL AND ALLOW IT TO COOL. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE OVENS ARE CLEANED AND KEPT FREE FROM FATS, OIL AND GREASE.

‘Stay Clean’ Liners

‘Stay Clean’ liners are covered with a special enamel which absorbs

 

cooking soils. At higher temperatures the soiling is slowly destroyed. In

 

most cases normal cooking at higher temperatures will permit this

 

cleaning to take place automatically.

 

However, if higher cooking temperatures are not used regularly then it

 

may be necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven at

 

maximum temperature for at least two hours, from time to time.

 

The ‘Stay Clean’ liners can be washed in warm soapy water followed by

 

rinsing in clear water. Dry well with a soft cloth.

 

NOTE: Do not use enzyme washing powder, harsh abrasives or

 

chemical oven cleaners of any kind.

Oven Fittings

The oven shelves can be cleaned either in a dishwasher or by using a

 

fine steel wool soap pad. The grill and meat pans can be cleaned in warm

 

soapy water using a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains

 

or in a dishwasher.

 

They should be cleaned after each use.

Oven Interiors

To clean the oven interiors remove all the oven fittings and where

 

applicable the ‘Stay Clean’ liners.

 

All types of oven cleaners can be used, but do not allow abrasive

 

cleaners or oven spray to come into contact with the ‘Stay Clean’ liners.

 

Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains.

Oven Door Cleaning

Cooker Exterior

The inner door glass panel can be removed for easy cleaning, see page 37.

The outside of the cooker should be cleaned regularly to keep it looking like new.

Wipe over with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water and dry with a soft clean cloth.

You can use mild non abrasive cleaners but always read the manufacturer’s instructions first. Always test their suitability on a small area of the cooker not noticeable innormal use.

NOTE: DO NOT use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the surface.

Wear protective gloves when cleaning any part of your cooker.

Door and Control Regularly wipe with a clean, damp cloth and polish with a clean, dry cloth.
