TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH AND ENSURE THE
GB
COOKER IS COLD BEFORE CLEANING.
BEFORE SWITCHING ON AGAIN, ENSURE THAT ALL
CONTROLS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION.
NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL WASHING POWDER,
HARSH ABRASIVES, SCOURING PADS, AEROSOL
CLEANERS OR OVEN CHEMICAL CLEANERS OF ANY
KIND, UNLESS SPECIFIED BELOW.
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on
the appliance.
Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge
!
and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry thoroughly
with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive material or
sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface
and cause the glass to crack.
The accessories can be washed like averyday crockery
!
(even in your dishwasher).
Cleaning materials to avoid:
1. Plastic or nylon pads
2. Household abrasive powders and scourers.These
may scratch the surface.
3. Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads.
Caustic cleaners such as these will etch the surface
and attack the metal frame.
4. Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface.
ALWAYS SWITCH OFF AT THE MAINS SWITCH
BEFORE CLEANING.
Ceramic hotplates:
Clean your Ceramic hob top regularly and avoid repeated
burning of encrusted contamination.
Your choice of cleaner will depend on the degree of
soiling involved (see below).
 minor soiling, where the contamination has not burnt
hard, can be wiped off with a clean wet cloth
 major soiling and strongly-adhering burnt encrustation
can be quickly and easily removed with a razor-blade
scraper
 hard water stains, grease spots and discolouration
having a metallic sheen can be removed with 'Easy
Do Cleaner Powder'
 always condition hob after cleaning by using 'Easy Do
Conditioner' or 'Hob Brite'. Apply a small amount of
conditioner with a clean damp cloth or paper towel.
Rub vigorously. Remove excess with a clean damp
cloth or paper towel. Polish with a clean cloth or paper
towel before the conditioner dries.

Detergent residues must always be completely removed
with a clean wet cloth, (even if the instructions for use
suggest otherwise), as they can have an etching effect
when reheated. Then wipe dry.
To maintain hob in good condition, we would recommend
regular use of the ‚Easy Do Powder Cleanser'.
Sprinkle Powder Cleanser on a clean damp cloth or paper
towel and rub vigorously for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove all
residue with a clean damp cloth or paper towel.Then use
conditioner to protect the hob.
For more stubborn marks, mix a small amount of the
powder cleanser with ‚Jif Lemon Juice' (from a bottle)
and carefully spread over the affected area. Cover with
a damp paper towel and leave for a minimum of 15
minutes.Rub vigorously. Remove excess with a clean
damp cloth or paper towel before the conditioner dries.
Polish with a clean cloth or paper towel. Easy Do products
are available from many electrical retailers, our Parts
Department (see Key Contacts, back page) and our
Spares Distributors. Homecare ‚Hob Brite' is available
from leading Supermarkets.
Oven shelf supports
The shelf supports are removable and dishwasher safe.
To remove hold the support at the front and pull away
from the oven side, this can then be cleaned in a sink or
a dishwasher.
When removed it allows access to the oven side, which
can be cleaned with warm soapy water.
To refit the support, insert the longer leg into the rear
fixing hole and push in the front leg.
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 cooker.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.
Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners/powders
which may scratch the surface.
Take care during cleaning not to damage or distort the
door seals.Do not lift the door seal from the oven chassis,
if necessary remove the seal by carefully unhooking the
corner clips.
Take care that the rating label edges are not lifted during
cleaning, and furthermore that the lettering is not blurred
or removed.
