Cooker care
As steam can condense to water droplets
on the cool outer trim of the oven, it may be
necessary during cooking to wipe away any
moisture with a soft cloth. This will also help to
prevent soiling and discolouration of the oven
exterior by cooking vapours.
Cleaning
WARNING
: Using the self-cleaning
•
function results in higher temperatures
than those for normal cooking. Under such
conditions the surfaces may get hotter
than usual so children should be kept
away.
Isolate the electricity supply before
•
carrying out any thorough cleaning. Allow
the cooker to cool.
In the interests of hygiene and safety, the
•
cooker should be kept clean at all times as
a build up in fats and other food stuff could
result in a fire.
Clean only the parts listed in this guide.
•
Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth
•
is used to wipe spills on a hot surface, be
careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners
can produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface.
Pre-clean any areas that are not reached
•
by the self-clean cycle, such as the outer
edges of the oven door. Wipe up any
excess fat or liquids.
Remove all cookware, shelves and the shelf
•
supports from the oven before using the
self-clean function.
NEVER use paint solvents, washing soda,
•
caustic cleaners, biological powders,
bleach, chlorine based bleach cleaners,
coarse abrasives or salt.
DO NOT mix different cleaning products
•
– they may react together with hazardous
results.
All parts of the cooker can be cleaned with
•
hot soapy water.
Take care that no water seeps into the
•
appliance.
Before you remove any of the grill parts for
•
cleaning, make sure that they are cool or
use oven gloves.
DO NOT use any abrasive substances on
•
the grill and grill parts.
DO NOT put the side runners in a
•
dishwasher.
DO NOT put the burner heads in a
•
dishwasher.
NEVER use caustic or abrasive cleaners as
•
these will damage the surface.
DO NOT use steel wool, oven cleaning
•
pads or any other materials that will
scratch the surface.
NEVER store flammable materials in the
•
drawer. This includes paper, plastic and
cloth items, such as cookbooks, plastic
ware and towels, as well as flammable
liquids.
DO NOT store explosives, such as aerosol
•
cans, on or near the appliance.
DO NOT use steel wool, oven cleaning
•
pads, or any other materials that will
scratch the surface.
DO NOT attempt to disassemble or clean
•
around any burner while another burner
is on, otherwise an electric shock could
result.
