MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
The oven should be kept clean at all times. A
Before cleaning, ensure all control knobs are in the OFF position, and the appliance has cooled completely.
Cleaning materials
Before using any cleaning materials on your oven, check that they are suitable and that the manufacturer recommends their use.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives should also be avoided.
External cleaning
Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven door and door seal using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a little washing up liquid has been added.
To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass panels avoid the use of the following:
•Household detergent and bleaches
•Impregnated pads unsuitable for non stick saucepans
•Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
•Chemical oven pads or aerosols
•Rust removers
•Bath/Sink stain removers
Oven Cavity
The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the oven is still warm.
Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water after each use. From time to time it will be necessary to do a more thorough cleaning, using a proprietary oven cleaner.
DO NOT clean the oven door while the glass panels are warm. If this precaution is not observed the glass panel may shatter.
If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has deep scratches, the glass will be weakened and must be replaced to prevent the possibility of the panel shattering.
Contact your local Service Centre who will be pleased to advise further.
IMPORTANT: The inner door glass must be in place when using the oven.
