Maintenance And Cleaning - Electrolux EKE 5001 Instruction Book

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
DISCONNECT the cooker from the
electricity supply.
Cleaning materials
Before using any cleaning materials on your
oven, check that they are suitable and that the
manufacturer recommends their use.
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 type
AXION or CIF that do not scratch the surface;
after that rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
Avoid use of metall objects (knife, edge), steel
wool or nylon pads, abrasive or caustic products,
or diluents.
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.
Oven Shelves and shelf support
To clean the oven shelves, and shelf support soak
in warm soapy water and remove stubborn marks
with a well-wetted soap impregnated pad. Rinse
well and dry with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the Oven door
For a more complete cleaning of the oven door, it
is advisable to disassemble it in the following
way:
Open the door completely.
-
Turn the two locking parts on the hinge arms
-
to 170°;

The Hob Top
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm; as
spillage can be removed more easily than if it is
left to cool.
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth
well wrung out in warm water to which a little
washing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use
of the following:
• household detergent and bleaches;
• impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick
saucepans;
• steel wool pads;
• bath/sink stain removers.
The Hotplates
Spills onto the actual plate should be removed using
warm water and a soft brush, nylon or plastic
scourer. To keep the plates looking as new, hotplate
conditioner can be purchased from most hardware
stores, e.g. "4 Hob" by HomeCare Products (follow
the manufacturer's instruction for use).
Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop of olive
oil on a kitchen towel to avoid rust. It is important
to note that the plate will smoke a little and
produce a slightly unpleasant odour when next
used.
