Cleaning and care

Soiling might become impossible to remove if it is not dealt with. Continued use of the oven without regular cleaning will make it much harder to keep clean.

Soiling is, therefore, best removed after each use of the oven.

The accessories are not dishwasher-proof.

Useful tips

–Soiling caused by spilt juices and cake mixtures is best removed whilst the oven is still warm. Exercise caution and make sure the oven is not too hot - danger of burning.

–To make cleaning easier you can dismantle the oven door, remove the side runners and the FlexiClip runners (if present), remove the catalytic back panel and the side liners and lower the top heating/grill element to remove the roof liner.

Normal soiling

See "Cleaning catalytic panels and liners" for instructions on how to keep the catalytic enamel clean.

￿It is best to remove normal soiling im- mediately using a clean sponge and a solution of hot water and washing-up liquid or with a clean, damp microfibre cloth.

￿After cleaning make sure all residual cleaning agent is thoroughly removed with clean water. This is particularly important when cleaning PerfectClean surfaces as cleaning agent residues can impair the non-stick properties.

￿After cleaning and rinsing, wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth.

Cleaning the seal

There is a seal around the oven interior which seals the oven interior and the inside of the door.

Grease deposits on the seal can cause it to become brittle and cracked.

￿It is best to wipe the seal clean after each use.
