Cleaning the Oven

Before cleaning always allow the cooling fan to cool the oven down before switching off at the electricity supply.

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

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. 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

Clean the outer and inner door glass using warm soapy water. Should the inner door glass become heavily soiled it is recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob Brite, or Bar Keepers Friend is used.

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.

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.

If the soilage has become set, after the oven has cooled down, the following process will help to soften the splatters to help make cleaning easier.

1.Place the grill/ meat pan on the oven shelf

positioned in the lowest runner.

2.Add a few drops of washing-up liquid to the pan and fill to about 12 mm. with boiling water from the kettle.

3.Close the oven door, turn the oven function knob

on fan oven and set the thermostat knob on 50°C.

4.After 15 minutes, turn off the thermostat and allow the fan oven to continue without heat for a further 5 minutes, when the temperature of the water will have cooled down.

5.Carefully remove the pan of water from the oven and use normal oven cleaners to clean away soil residues.

6.Leave a little of the soapy water to soak into any burned on spillage on the floor of the oven for a longer time if necessary.

Oven Shelves

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

Replacing the Oven Light

Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.

If the oven bulb needs replacing, it must comply with the following specifications: electric power, 15W; electric rate, 230V (50 Hz); resistant to temperatures of 300°C; connection type: E14. These bulbs are available from your local Service Force Centre.

To replace the faulty bulb:

1.Ensure the oven is disconnected from the electrical supply.

2.Turn the glass cover anticlockwise.

3.Remove the faulty bulb and replace it with the new one.

4.Refit the glass cover.

5. Reconnect to the electrical supply.
