CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE

TIPS & INFORMATION

•Always make sure that the oven is electrically isolated before cleaning. This can be done via the functional switch located nearby. Do not use steam cleaners.

•Do not line the bottom of the oven or grill with foil or cookware.

Enamel

•Rub persistent stains vigorously with a nylon scourer or creamed powder cleansers.

NOTE: You can also use household oven enamel cleaners – follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.

WARNING

Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

Stainless steel

All grades of stainless steel can stain, discolour or became greasy. You must clean these areas regularly by following the procedures below, if you want your appliance to look its best, perform well and have a long life.

Care must be taken when wiping exposed stainless steel edges...

they can be sharp!

Your stainless steel appliance is manufactured from a mark resistant stainless steel. This special stainless steel resists marks such as finger prints and water spots. To keep your stainless steel appliance looking at its best, you should clean it regularly. Wash with warm soapy water and rinse with clean water. Wipe with clean water and a soft clean cloth to remove soap residue.

NOTE: Enure you follow the polish or brushing lines in the steel.

TIPS & INFORMATION

DO NOT use stainless steel cleaners, abrasive pads or other cleaners as they are likely to scratch the surface. Damage due to poor cleaning technique is not covered by your warranty.

Glass

•Glass surfaces on doors and control panels are best cleaned immediately after soiling.

•A damp cloth may help remove baked on food deposits.

•Oven cleaners can be used to remove stubborn marks and stains.

•Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

Oven

•Always keep your appliance clean. Ensure that fats and oils do not accumulate around elements, burners or fans.

•Always keep the oven dish, baking trays, grill dish and grill dish inserts clean, as any fat deposits may catch fire.

•Always wrap your meats in foil or an oven roasting bag to minimise cleaning. Any polyunsaturated fats can leave a varnish-like residue which is very difficult to remove.

Grill

•Always keep the grill dish and grill dish insert clean, as any fat deposits may catch fire.

Cleaning your oven accessories

Removing the trays and shelves from your appliance

•Wash the tray and shelves in hot soapy water.

•Reverse the above steps to put the grill tray and shelves back again.

•Ensure that they are placed between the 2 support wires.

See page 9 for more details (excluding POR881).

Removing the side racks or shelf supports (excluding POR881)

CATALYTIC LINERS

(where fitted)

Some models come with Catalytic liners. These models contain: 2 Catalytic side liners (to be fitted by you)

1 Catalytic fan cover (already fitted)

NOTE: If your oven does not have catalytic liners and you wish to purchase them, they are available from the Customer Care Centre.

Operation

The catalytic liners are coated with a specially formulated enamel coating, over a base of regular enamel. This enamel coating has a rough surface which is also porous. During normal cooking, fats and other food spatter is partially absorbed into the surface and then oxidised away.

This oxidisation of the fat works best if the oven is set at high temperatures. If you do a lot of lower temperature baking, say around the normal 180ºC, then the cleaning process may not be complete. Every now and then you should turn the oven on to 260ºC for around one hour to completely remove the soil.

Cleaning

Should the panels become heavily soiled, they will need to be taken out of the oven and cleaned by hand. They should be soaked in warm, soapy water for at least 2 hours and then wiped clean with a soft cloth.

NOTE: Solid cleaning powders, creamy cleansers, caustic oven cleaners, steel wool or other scourers will ruin the catalytic surface and must NEVER BE USED.
