CARE & CLEANING
The following information had been complied using sections of the customer handbook supplied with
the appliance.
WARNING: - BEFORE CLEANING, SWITCH THE COOKER OFF AT THE COOKER CONTROL
PANEL AND ALLOW IT TO COOL. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE OVENS ARE CLEANED AND
KEPT FREE FROM FATS, OIL AND GREASE.
STAYCLEAN OVEN LINERS
The stay clean oven liners are covered with a special enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At higher
temperatures the soiling is slowly destroyed. In most cases normal cooking at higher temperatures will
permit this cleaning to take place automatically. However, if higher cooking temperatures are not used
regularly then it may be necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven at maximum
temperature for at least 2 hours, from time to time.
The stay clean liners can be washed in warm soapy water followed by rinsing in clear water.
NOTE: - Do not use enzyme washing powder, harsh abrasives or chemical oven cleaners of
any kind.
Oven Fittings
The oven shelves can be cleaned either in a dishwasher or by using a fine steel wool soap pad.
The grill and meat pans can be cleaned in warm soapy water using a fine steel wool soap pad to
remove stubborn stains or in a dishwasher. They should be cleaned after each use.
Oven Interiors
To clean the oven interiors remove all the oven fittings and where applicable the stay clean liners.
All types of oven cleaners can be used but do not allow abrasive cleaners or even oven spray to come
into contact with the stay clean liners. Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains.
Cleaning the Exterior of the Cooker
The outside of the cooker should be cleaned regularly to keep it looking like new.
Wipe over with a soft cloth rung out in warm water and dry with a soft clean cloth.
You can use mild non-abrasive cleaners but always read the manufacturers instructions first.
Always test their suitability on a small area of the cooker not noticeable in normal use.
NOTE: - Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the surface.
Wear protective gloves when cleaning any part of your cooker.
Replacement of the Oven Light
WARNING: - To avoid electric shock, before replacing the oven light, switch the cooker off at
the cooker control unit (and allow to cool if the ovens have been used).
Unscrew the glass cover using a suitable cloth to protect the fingers and carefully remove. Unscrew
the existing light bulb and remove. Screw the new bulb into position and replace the glass cover, with
metal washer, until positioned securely.
