Cleaning The Oven - Zanussi BM 96 Instruction Booklet

Cleaning the Oven

Before cleaning always allow the cooling fan to
cool the oven down before switching off at the
electricity supply.
The oven should be kept clean at all times. A
build-up of fats or other foodstuffs could result
in a fire, especially in the grill pan.
Cleaning materials
Before using any cleaning materials on your oven, check
that they are suitable and that their use is recommended
by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives
should also be avoided.
External cleaning
Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven door and door
seal using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to
which a little liquid detergent has been added.
To prevent damaging or weakening the door
glass panels avoid the use of the following:
• Household detergent and bleaches
• Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick
saucepans
• Chemical oven pads or aerosols
• Rust removers
• Bath/Sink stain removers
Clean the outer and inner door glass using warm soapy
water. Should the inner door glass become heavily soiled
it is recommended that a proper cleaning product is used.
Do not use paint scrapers to remove soilage.
DO NOT clean the oven door while the glass
panels are warm. If this precaution is not
observed the glass panel may shatter.
If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has
deep scratches, the glass will be weakened
and must be replaced to prevent the possibility
of the panel shattering. Contact your local
Service Centre who will be pleased to advise
further.
Oven Shelves and Shelf
Supports
To clean the oven shelves, soak in warm soapy water and
remove stubborn marks with a
impregnated pad. Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.
The shelf supports can be removed for easy cleaning (see
diagram). Please, ensure the retaining nuts are secure
when refitting the shelf support.
When cleaning the shelf supports, take care not
to remove the lubricating grease behind the
telescopic runners. This is meant to ensure their
good operation.

Oven Cavity
The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the oven
is still warm.
Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in warm soapy
water after each use. From time to time it will be
necessary to do a more thorough cleaning, using a
proprietary oven cleaner.
If the soilage has become set, after the oven has cooled
down, the following process will help to soften the splatters
to help make cleaning easier.
1. Place the grill/ meat pan on the oven shelf positioned
in the lowest runner.
2. Add a few drops of wasing-up liquid to the pan and fill
to about 12 mm. with boiling water from the kettle.
3. Close the oven door, turn the oven function knob on fan
oven and set the thermostat knob on 50°C.
4. After 15 minutes, turn off the thermostat and allow the
fan oven to continue without heat for a further 5
minutes, when the temperature of the water will have
cooled down.
5. Carefully remove the pan of water from the oven and
use normal oven cleaners to clean away soil residues.
6. Leave a little of the soapy water to soak into any
burned on spillage on the floor of the oven for a longer
time if necessary.
The Oven Door Gasket
The correct operation of the oven is ensured by a gasket
placed round the edge of the oven cavity.
• Periodically check the condition of this gasket. If
necessary, clean it without using abrasive cleaning
products.
• If the gasket shows to be damaged, call you local
Service Centre. Do not use the oven until it has been
repaired.
