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
We recommend for cleaning cleaners that do not
scratch the surface; Avoid use of metall objects,
steel wool or nylon pads, abrasive or caustic
products, or diluents. 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.
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.
Hob
After every use wipe with a soft cloth well wrung
out in warm water to which a little washing up
liquid has been added, avoiding any leakage
through the holes of the hob. Rinse and dry with
a soft cloth.
To remove more stubborn stains, wet and leave
to dissolve, do not scratch and avoid the use of
abrasive or caustic products that could damage
the enamel.
Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for
cleaning. Wash the burners caps and crowns using
hot soapy water, and remove marks with a mild
paste cleaner. A well-moistened soap impregnated
steel wool pad can be used with caution, if the
marks are particularly difficult to remove.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.
