and leave on the discoloured areas over-
night.
The marks should be easily removable the
next day provided they have not been ex-
cessively burnt on.
The paste should be thoroughly washed off
afterwards.
To reduce hob soilage
• Make sure the bottom of the saucepan
and the cooking area are clean and dry
before cooking begins.
• Ensure saucepans are large enough to ac-
commodate food to avoid boil overs.
• If possible, wipe up spills and splatters as
they occur, but take care to avoid steam
burns.
• Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge to clean
the hob. These may leave a layer of soiled
detergent on the hob surface which will
burn and discolour the next time the hob
is used.
• Avoid the use of:
– Household detergents and bleaches.
– Impregnated plastic or nylon pads that
are not described as suitable for non-
stick saucepans.
– Steel wool pads
– Chemical oven cleaners, e.g. aerosols
and oven pads.
– Rust stain, bath and sink stain remov-
ers.
• Any of the above products may cause
damage to the hob.
• It is dangerous to mix different cleaning
products. The chemicals in them may re-
act with each other with hazardous results.
• Soilage from sugar solutions must be re-
moved from the hob before the syrup has
set otherwise damage to the hob surface
will occur.
• Avoid placing plastic items, foil or dishes
on the hot surface as this will cause dam-
age to the hob.
Cleaning the shelves, wire work runners
and grill/oven furniture
All removable parts, except the grill pan han-
dle can be washed in the dishwasher.
The grill pan, grill pan grid, oven shelves and
wire work runners may be cleaned using a
soap impregnated steel wool pad.
Soaking first in hot soapy water will make
cleaning easier.
Cleaning inside the grill and oven
compartments
The sides and back of the grill/second oven
and main oven compartments are coated
with a special Stayclean coating. They
should not be cleaned manually.
The vitreous enamel main oven base and grill
compartment base can be cleaned using
normal oven cleaners with care.
Ensure that the manufacturers instructions
are followed and that all parts are well rinsed
afterwards.
Warning! Aerosol cleaners must not
come into contact with elements, the
door seal, or any painted finishes as this
may cause damage.
HINTS AND TIPS
Warning! Aerosol cleaners must not be
used on Stayclean surfaces.
Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food
and fats when the oven temperature is raised
to around 220°C.
It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour
or two per week to ensure continued good
performance from the Stayclean finish.
Slight discolouration and polishing of the
Stayclean surfaces may occur in time.
This DOES NOT affect the Stayclean prop-
erties in any way.
Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when
roasting meat, potatoes only require brush-
ing with fat before cooking.
Extra fat in the oven during roasting will in-
crease splashing and soilage.
It is NOT necessary to add water to a meat
tin when roasting.
The water and the fat juices from the joint
create excessive splattering during cooking
– even at normal temperatures, as well as
causing condensation.
Covering joints during cooking will also pre-
vent splashing onto the interior surfaces.
Removing the covering for the last 20-30 mi-
nutes will allow extra browning if required.
Some large joints and turkeys especially ben-
efit by this method of cooking, allowing the
