CLEANING YOUR OVEN

before cleaning. This can be done by
the functional switch nearby.
• Do not line the bottom of the oven with foil
or cookware.
• Do not use steam cleaners.
Stainless steel
WARNING
WARNING
• The oven door trim, the control panel and the storage
compartment are decorated with a special stainless
steel that resists finger marks and should only be
cleaned with warm water and a mild detergent. Do
not use stainless steel cleaners, abrasive cleaners or
harsh solvents on these parts.
NOTE: Make sure you follow the polish or brushing lines
in the stainless steel.
• All grades of stainless steel can stain, discolour or
become greasy. You must clean these regularly by
following the procedures below if you want your
appliance to look its best, perform well and have a
long life.
• Care must be taken when wiping exposed stainless
steel edges, they can be sharp!
• The stainless steel gas hob can be cleaned with
stainless steel cleaners if it becomes soiled
or discoloured.
• A suitable cleaner can be purchased from Electrolux
Customer Care Centres.
Glass
• Glass surfaces on doors and control panels are
best cleaned immediately after soiling.
• A damp cloth may help remove baked on
food deposits.
WARNING WARNING
• The door glass on this appliance is made from a
tough, durable material that withstands heating
and cooling without breaking. However, it must be
remembered that it is GLASS, it may break. Treat it
accordingly! Should you have any questions about
the glass in your new appliance, please contact the
customer care centre by dialling 13 13 49.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal
scrapers to clean the oven door since they can
scratch the surface, which may result in the shattering
of glass.

CLEANING YOUR OVEN
Gas hotplate
• The trivets can be removed for cleaning by carefully
lifting them from the hob.
• Clean by washing with warm soapy water.
• The burner caps and crowns are also removable for
cleaning.
• If the caps, crowns and cups are heavily soiled, use a
non-abrasive cleaning compound.
• Flame port blockages should be removed by using a
matchstick or brush.
• Do not clean them with abrasive or caustic type
cleaners, or clean them in a dishwasher.
Ceramic hotplate
• Remove all spilt food and fat with the supplied razor
blade scraper, while the ceramic glass is still warm but
not hot. Wipe clean with dishwashing detergent on a
damp cloth.
• If aluminium foil, plastic items or high sugar content
foods are allowed to melt on the ceramic glass, clean
immediately with the supplied razor blade scraper
before the surface has cooled down, otherwise pitting
of the surface can occur.
NOTE: Items with high sugar content not only include
jam and fruit, but also vegetables such as peas, tomatoes
and carrots.
• When the ceramic glass is cool, apply a suitable
ceramic glass cleaner.
• It is important to follow the cleaner manufacturer's
instructions. Remove any cleaning residue from the
surface as staining of the cooktop may occur.
• Do not use abrasive sponges or scourers, as they may
scratch the surface.
• Any pitting, staining, scratches or other surface
deterioration is excluded from the warranty.
• Sometimes surface stains appear to be 'bubble' marks
under the ceramic glass. These can be cleaned off
with a razor blade scraper and
ceramic cleaner.
Oven
• Always keep your appliance clean. Ensure that
fats and oils do not accumulate around elements,
burners or fans.
• Always keep the oven dish, baking trays, grill dish
and grill dish inserts clean, as any fat deposits may
catch fire.
• Always wrap your meats in foil or an oven roasting
bag to minimise cleaning. Any polyunsaturated fats
can leave a varnish-like residue which is very difficult
to remove.
Grill
• Always keep the grill dish and grill dish insert clean, as
any fat deposits may catch fire.

Cleaning your oven door
The oven door has been designed to allow the two

removing the door from the product.
Removing the inner door glass for cleaning:
• Open the door fully to gain access to the hinges.
• Push down the hinge locking tab as shown in the
diagram on both sides of door.
Locking tab up - normal position Locking tab down - for cleaning
• Gently close the door until it stops in partially open
position on the locking tab (the door will not fully
close with the locking tab in the down position).
• In this position the top door trim can be removed by
pushing each side on the serrated surface to release
the clips and lift the trim away from the door.
• To remove the inner glass, tilt top of glass towards the
oven and lift out.
• The middle glass is removed in the same way.
• The inner side of outer glass can be cleaned in-situ
when inner and middle glass is removed.

clean and dry thoroughly.
Re-assembling the door glass panels:
• Replace the middle glass back to the door.
The middle glass is a clear pane and orientation
of the glass is not important.

the side with black ceramic paint faces away from the
oven cavity when door is closed.
• Fully open the door and return the locking tabs to
their normal position and close the door.
