Care and Cleaning

 

Turn OFF the main control unit and allow the cooker to cool

 

before cleaning.

 

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

 

position.

 

Refer to the instructions below for cleaning the ‘Stay clean’

 

removable side oven panels.

 

‘STAY CLEAN’ OVEN LINERS

How ‘Stay clean’

The surfaces of the ‘Stay clean’ oven liners are treated on the

Works

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 a meat pan, at a higher temperature setting of 230°C

 

(450°F) for a couple of hours. This may be necessary once a month

 

or every two or three months depending on the type and amount

 

of oven cooking.

 

Oven sides – It should not normally be necessary to clean the

 

‘Stay clean’ panels in water. If the user feels it is desirable to do

 

so, remove the rod shelves and side panels and wash them in

 

warm, soapy water, followed by rinsing in clear water. Do not use

 

enzyme/biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or oven

 

chemical cleaners of any kind.

 

Grill – Remove the grill pan and grid. It is best to wash these

 

items immediately after use to prevent stains from being burnt on

 

when used again.

Hob and Spillage

Lift out the hotplate bezels and wash in hot soapy or detergent

Compartment

water. Wipe the hob with a damp cloth wrung out in warm soapy

 

water or detergent water. To clean the spillage compartment,

 

raise the hob and wipe with a damp cloth wrung out in a warm soapy

 

or detergent water using a fine soap impregnated steel wool pad

 

if necessary.

Control Panel

Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a

 

dry cloth. Do not use oven cleaners or aerosols, scouring pads or

 

abrasive powder for cleaning the plastic knobs or plastic end

 

caps as damage will occur.

Oven – Interior

Refer to the instructions above for cleaning the ‘Stay clean’

 

panels.

 

Remove the rod shelves for washing at the sink. Use a fine steel

 

wool soap pad for removing stubborn stains from the rod shelves

 

and floor of the oven. Take care during cleaning not to damage,

 

bend or dislodge from the supporting clips the thermostat phial

 

which is across the back of the oven just below the roof.
