CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials e.g. Hob Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed finishes as damage may occur. Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors and appliance sides using a soft cloth and hot soapy water. To prevent streaking on stainless steel models finish with a soft cloth.
Any spillage on the stainless steel finish must be wiped off immediately.
Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and should be avoided as they may dull the surface finish.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE APPLIANCE AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD.
CLEANING THE CONTROL KNOBS AND HANDLES
It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water is used for cleaning the control knobs and door handles. ANY OTHER CLEANING MATERIALS WILL DULL THE SURFACE FINISH.
CLEANING THE GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can be washed in the dishwasher.
The meat tin, grill pan, grill pan grid and oven shelves may be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad. Soaking first in hot soapy water will make cleaning easier.
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVENS AND GRILL COMPARTMENT
The sides and back of the ovens are coated with a Stayclean enamel.
The Stayclean surfaces should not be cleaned manually. See below ‘Care of Stayclean Surfaces’.
The vitreous enamel base in the grill compartment and the fan oven 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 the Stayclean surfaces and must not come into contact with the elements or the door seal as this may cause damage.
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.
HINTS AND TIPS
Manual cleaning of the Stayclean surfaces IS NOT recommended. Damage will occur if abrasives or aerosol sprays of any kind are used.
Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean surfaces 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 build- up of soilage as this can prevent the Stayclean surfaces from working.
Follow the recommendations on page 23 to keep oven soilage to a minimum.
