Control Panel and Doors
Avoid using any abrasive cleaners, including cream cleaners.
For best results, use a liquid detergent.
The same cleaner can also be used on the doors, or
alternatively, using a soft cloth wrung out in clean hot soapy
water. You can use the same method for cleaning the control
panel and knobs.
After cleaning, polish with a dry cloth.
Oven Door Panel
The top oven door can be removed for ease of cleaning.
Open the oven door fully and release the saddle brackets
situated either side (Fig. 6.2). Ensure that the saddle brackets
are opened to their end positions, to prevent the hinges from
retracting into the oven door.
Close the oven door until it is almost fully closed then
carefully lift and un-hook the door panel from the cooker
(Fig. 6.3).
To re-assemble, ensure that the saddle bracket and hinge
mechanisms are correctly positioned (Fig. 6.4).
Carefully replace the door panel using the hinge locating
notches, then close the saddle bracket (Fig. 6.5).
DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal
n
scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can
scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of
the glass.
Ovens
Cleaning the Inside of the Oven (Fig. 6.6)
• The inside of enamelled ovens are best cleaned while
the oven is warm.
• Wipe the oven with a soft cloth soaked in soapy water
after each use. Then, wipe the oven over again with a
wet cloth and dry it.
• You may need to use a liquid cleaning material
occasionally to completely clean the oven.
Catalytic Cleaning
Catalytic liners are installed within the oven cavity. These are
the matte-finished, light-coloured panels on the sides and/
or matte-finished panel at the rear of the oven. They work by
collecting any grease and oil residue during cooking.
The liner self-cleans by absorbing fats and oils and burning
them to ash, which can then be easily removed from the floor
of the oven with a damp cloth. The lining must be porous to
be effective. The liner may discolour with age.
If a large amount of fat is spilled onto the liner, it may reduce
its efficiency. To overcome this problem, set the oven to
maximum temperature for about 20 - 30 minutes. After the
oven has cooled, wipe out the floor of the oven.
