CLEANING INSIDE THE GRILL AND OVEN COMPARTMENTS
The sides and back of the grill/top oven and main oven compartments are coated with a special Stayclean coating. They should not be cleaned manually.
The vitreous enamel main oven base and grill/top oven base can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.
Aerosol cleaners must not come into contact with elements or the door seal as this may cause damage.
HINTS AND TIPS
Aerosol cleaners must not be used on 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.
Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean surfaces may occur in time. This DOES NOT affect the Stayclean properties in any way.
Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting 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
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
