AFTER CLEANING

To maintain the appearance of the hotplates
occasionally apply a little salt free vegetable oi l or
commercial restorative agent.
To apply vegetable oil, first heat the hotplate on a
medium setting for 30 seconds then turn OFF. Pour
a very small amount of oil onto kitchen paper, apply
the paper to the hotplate and wipe off any excess oi l.
Heat the hotplate on a medium setting for 1 minute.
To apply restorative agent, apply a thin coating of ‘4
Hob’ or use a ‘Minky’ Hotplate Cleaning Cloth
following the manufacturers instructions.

CLEANING THE GRILL AND OVEN

FURNITURE

All removable parts except the grill pan handle can
be washed in the dishwasher.
The grill pan, grill pan grid and oven shelves m ay be
cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad.
Soaking first in hot soapy water will make cleaning
easier.

CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND

GRILL COMPARTMENTS

The vitreous enamel main oven top and sides and
top oven/grill compartment can be cleaned using
oven cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners with car e.
Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are
followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards .
HINTS AND TIPS
· Follow the recommendations below to keep o ven
soilage to a minimum.
· Cook at the recommended temperatures. Higher
temperatures during roasting will increase
soilage. Try cooking at lower temperatures for
an increased length of time, you will save energy
and often the joint is more tender.
· Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when r oasting
meat, potatoes only require brushing with fat
before cooking. Extra fat in the oven during
roasting will increase splashing and soilage.
· It is not necessary to add water to a meat tin
when roasting. The water and the fat juices from
the joint create excessive splattering during
cooking even at normal temperatures as well as
causing condensation.
· Covering joints during cooking will also prevent
splashing onto the interior surfaces. Removing
the covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allo w
extra browning if required. Some large joints and
turkeys especially benefit by this method of
cooking, allowing the joint to cook through before
the outside is over-browned.

CLEANING THE DOOR GLASS

To prevent damaging or weakening the
door glass panels avoid the use of the
following:
· Household detergents 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
