MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

The oven should be kept clean at all times. A build-up of fats or other foodstuffs could result in a fire.

Before cleaning, ensure all control knobs are in the OFF position, and the appliance has cooled completely.

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the cooker from the electricity supply.

Cleaning materials

Before using any cleaning materials on your oven, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer.

Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as they may dull the surface finishes. A steam cleaner is not to be used. Harsh abrasives should also be avoided.

External cleaning

In the case of stainless steel parts, you may use commercially available stainless steel cleaners with care. These also provide a protective film against finger marks.

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.

Oven Shelves and shelf support

To clean the oven shelves, and shelf support soak in warm soapy water and remove stubborn marks with a well wetted soap impregnated pad. Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.

Grease Filter

When cooking meat, the grease filter must be fitted over the oven fan by clipping it over the vents in the back panel. This will prevent a built- up of fat on the fan impeller. Do not use abrasive materials to clean the seal. The grease filter is dishwasher proof.

When cooking is completed and the oven has cooled down, remove the filter by pushing the protruding tongue on the filter upward.

Cleaning the Oven door

For a more complete cleaning of the oven door, it is advisable to remove it in the following way:

-Open the door completely.

-Turn the two locking plates on the hinge arms to 170°;

-Partially close the door, to a 30o angle;

-Lift the door and pull out.

locking plates

Refit the door by reversing the operation described above.
