Care and Cleaning
Door and Control Panel (Glass)
Regularly wipe with a clean, damp cloth and polish with
a clean, dry cloth.
Door and Control Panel Trims (Stainless Steel)
Regularly wipe with a clean, damp cloth and polish with
a clean, dry cloth.
Solar Plus Grill
To clean the solar plus grill, use a clean, damp, soapy
cloth and wipe over. If stubborn stains remain, gently
clean with a well soaped nylon scouring pad and wipe
over with a damp cloth.
NOTE: DO NOT use metal cleaning utensils, wire
wool or proprietary oven cleaners on the grill element
mesh.
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 oven has been used).
Replacement of the Oven Light
Unscrew the glass cover, using a suitable cloth to protect
the fingers and remove carefully. Unscrew the existing
light bulb, and remove. Screw the new bulb into position
and replace the glass cover, with metal washer, until
positioned securely.
CLEANING THE DOORS
Take particular care not to damage the inner surface of
the door inner glass that is coated with a heat reflective
layer. Do not use scouring pads, or abrasive powder,
which will scratch the glass.
Ensure that the glass panel is not subjected to any sharp
mechanical blows.
Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel
wool soap pad. For slight soiling the inner glass panel
may be cleaned, while still warm, without removing it from
the door. After cleaning, rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
SIDE OPENING DOORS
Cleaning the door glass is the same as the drop down
doors, except take care to support the weight of the inner
glass when removing and refitting.
DROP DOWN DOORS
Remove the door inner glass as follows.
1. Open the door fully and remove the extrusion end
caps (This should be done by hand but if it proves
too difficult, simply lift the inner glass to ease the end
caps out of position).
NOTE: If you need to use a tool - be careful not to
damage the extrusion or end cap.

2. Carefully slide the inner glass towards you and
withdraw it from its locating slots. Ensure that the door
is not allowed to slam shut, due to the reduction in
door weight. Clean the glass as described above.
3. The inside of the outer door glass can now be cleaned
while still fitted to the cooker.
Refit the door inner glass as follows.
1. Open the door fully.
2. Locate the inner door glass into its slots, so that the
printing is readable from the face nearest the oven
in the closed position and the widest black band
is towards the bottom of the door. The inner door
glass has a special reflective coating on one side, in
order to minimise surface temperatures and energy
consumption during use, it is important it is fitted
correctly.
3. Carefully slide the glass into its slots as far as it will
go and replace the end caps.
NEVER OPERATE THE COOKER WITHOUT THE
INNER DOOR GLASS IN POSITION.
Respecting and conserving the
environment
• Whenever possible, avoid pre-heating the oven
and always try to fill it. Open the oven door as little
as possible because heat is lost every time it is
opened. To save a substantial amount of energy,
simply switch off the oven 5 to 10 minutes before the
end of your planned cooking time and use the heat
the oven continues to generate.
• Automatic programmes are based on standard food
product.
• Keep gaskets clean and tidy to prevent any door
energy losses
• If you have a timed tariff electricity contract, the "delay
cooking" option will make it easier to save money by
moving operation to cheaper time periods.
• Make the most of your hot plate's residual heat by
switching off cast iron hot plates 10 minutes before the
end of your cooking time and glass ceramic hot plates
5 minutes before the end of cooking time.
• The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate.
If it is smaller, precious energy will be wasted and
pots that boil over leave encrusted remains that can
be difficult to remove.
• Cook your food in closed pots or pans with well-fitting
lids and use as little water as possible. Cooking with
the lid off will greatly increase energy consumption
• Use purely flat pots and pans
• If you are cooking something that takes a long time,
it's worth using a pressure cooker, which is twice as
fast and saves a third of the energy.
