Care and Cleaning

Switching off the electricity

GB
! Turn off the mains switch before cleaning it and
before all maintenance operations.
Before switching on again, ensure that all controls
are in the OFF position.
! Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners /
powders which may scratch the surface. Under no
circumstances should abrasive cleaning materials be
used.

Cleaning the exterior

The outside of both ovens can be cleaned, when
cooled down, using a cloth which has been rinsed in
warm soapy water. The oven can then be wiped down
with a clean dry cloth.
! Never use an abrasive powder as this will damage
the surface.
Decorative Trims
It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly
to prevent any build up of soiling which may detract
from the appearance of the appliance.
The recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over
the trims with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water, or
mild non-abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner
on a small area of trim which is not noticeable in
normal use), then after wiping with a cloth wrung out
in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.
Door & control panel trims
Regularly wipe with a clean damp cloth and polish
with a clean dry cloth.

Cleaning the top oven

Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn
stains from the rod shelves, grill pan and floor and
roof of the oven.

Cleaning the main oven

Remove the rod shelves and meat pan. Use a fine
steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from
the rod shelves, meat pan and the floor of the oven.
Refer to the instructions below for cleaning the oven
liners.
! Do not use aerosol cleaners on this oven as they
could adversely affect the fan motor unit, and cannot
be wiped off the fan blade.
How the oven liners work
The surfaces of the oven liners are treated on the
surface with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs
cooking soils. At temperatures of 220˚C (425˚F) or
above, the special surface enables these soils to be
slowly destroyed.
The higher the temperature, the more effective it is.
In most cases normal cooking operations at this
temperature will permit this cleaning operation to
proceed during cooking.
However if higher cooking temperatures are not used
regularly, it may be necessary, in order to prevent
heavy soiling, to run the oven without meat pan, at
maximum setting for a couple of hours in Fan Oven
mode ONLY. This may be necessary once a month or
every two or three months depending on the type and
amount of oven cooking.
It should not normally be necessary to clean the oven
liners with water. If the user feels it is desirable to do
so, wash them down in warm, soapy water then rinse
with clear wate.
Replacement oven liners are available should you
require them, from your nearest Service Centre (see
Service).
! Do not use biological/ enzyme washing powder,
harsh abrasives or oven chemical cleaners of any kind.
Replacement of Oven Lamp
The oven lamp is not covered by the guarantee. This
part is easy to replace:
1. Open the oven door and remove the rod shelves.
2. Grip the light glass dome, unscrew anti-clockwise
and lift out.
3. Reach into the aperture with fingers and unscrew
the faulty lamp anti-clockwise. Fit a replacement
lamp (15W 300˚C SES) which can be obtained
from your nearest Service Centre (see Service),
and refit dome.
! When screwing and unscrewing the faulty lamp use
a thick cloth to protect your fingers should the lamp
break.
