Care and Cleaning

Switch off the electricity supply and allow to cool before cleaning the cooker.

Clean the cooker regularly and wipe up spills soon after they occur to prevent them from becoming burnt on. Never use biological washing powder, caustic cleaners, harsh abrasives, scouring pads, steam cleaners, aerosol cleaners or oven chemical cleaners of any kind.

If it is necessary to remove the cooker for cleaning, ensure that it is cool and beware that it is heavy (approximately 70 kg 155 lbs). To move the cooker forward, open the top oven/grill door and with both hands positioned under the roof of the compartment, lift and pull forward. Replace by pushing the cooker backwards. Check that the cooker is level. Take care not to damage any floor coverings.

OVEN HEAT CLEAN LININGS

The oven side linings are coated with a special enamel which has a

continuous cleaning action. The higher the oven temperature the more effective the action. In most cases this cleaning operation will proceed during normal cooking. However, if roasting is done frequently, or high temperatures are not used regularly, it may be necessary to occasionally operate the oven empty at Mark 8 for about an hour.

It should not normally be necessary to clean the linings with water, but if desired, wipe them over with a soapy cloth, followed by a wipe with a damp clean cloth.

OVEN DOORS (GW74 only)

The door inner glass panels can be removed for ease of cleaning by simply sliding the panels out of the frame.
