CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE COOKER
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials, or scourers on the outside of the cooker as some of the finishes are painted and damage may occur. Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors and cooker sides using a soft cloth and liquid detergent.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE PANEL AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD.
CLEANING THE GRILL DEFLECTOR, GRILL PAN, GRILL PAN GRID, MEAT TIN AND OVEN SHELVES
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can be washed in the dishwasher.
The grill pan, meat tin, grill deflector and oven shelves may be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad. The grill pan grid should be cleaned using hot soapy water. Soaking first in soapy water will make cleaning easier .
CLEANING INSIDE THE GRILL/OVEN COMPARTMENTS
The sides, top and back of the grill/top oven and main oven are coated with a special Stayclean coating.
The Stayclean coating should not be cleaned manually.
The vitreous enamel fan oven base and grill compartment base, can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.
Aerosol cleaners must not be used on Stayclean surfaces and must not come into contact with elements as this may cause damage.
For advice on how to keep the Stayclean coating in good condition see 'Care of Stayclean Surfaces'.
CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES
Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and fats when the oven temperature is raised to around 220°C.
It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two per week to ensure continued good performance from the Stayclean finish.
Do use the trivet in the roasting tin. During roasting, the fat from the joint will be contained beneath the trivet and therefore prevent it from splashing onto the Stayclean finish.
HINTS AND TIPS
Manual cleaning of Stayclean Surfaces IS NOT recommended. Damage will occur if oven sprays or abrasives of any kind are used.
Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean surface may occur in time. This does not affect the Stayclean properties in any way.
A good time to allow the oven to run on is after the weekly roast. After removing the roast, turn the oven up to 220°C and allow to run for an hour or so. It is important NOT to allow a
