CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE

WARNING!
• Always make sure that the appliance is electrically
isolated before cleaning. This can be done by the
functional switch nearby.
• Do not line the bottom of the oven with foil
or cookware.
• Do not use steam cleaners.
Stainless steel parts
WARNING!
The oven door trim, the control panel trim and the
storage compartment are made from a special
stainless steel that resists finger marks and should
only be cleaned with warm water and a mild
detergent. Do not use stainless steel cleaners,
abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents on these parts.
NOTE: Make sure you follow the polish or brushing lines in
the stainless steel.
• All grades of stainless steel can stain, discolour or
become greasy. You must clean these regularly by
following the procedures below if you want your
appliance to look its best, perform well and have a
long life.
• Care must be taken when wiping exposed stainless
steel edges, they can be sharp!
• The stainless steel gas hob, side panels and kick
panel can be cleaned with stainless steel cleaners
if it becomes soiled or discoloured.
• A suitable cleaner can be purchased from Electrolux
Customer Care Centres.
Oven door
• DO NOT use the oven without the inner and middle
door glass fitted.
• NEVER spray any caustic cleaners on any surface of
the door or damage to the surface coatings will result.
• DO NOT use metal utensils, scrapers, scourers, or
abrasive cleaners to clean the glass or any of the
door trims. These will damage or scratch the surface
coatings and degrade the finish and appearance.
• DO NOT place glass in dishwasher.
• Use only warm water and liquid detergent with a soft
cloth to clean the glass or trims.
• Before refitting the glass panes to the door ensure
they are dried with a soft cloth.
• The glass edges have been specially ground to
remove any sharp edges. However it is glass, and
should be handled carefully to avoid injury to your
person and damage to the glass.
• Ensure glass panels are refitted to the door in the
same order and orientation they came out from.
Gas hob
• The trivets can be removed for cleaning by
carefully lifting them from the hob.
• Clean by washing with warm soapy water.
• The burner caps and crowns are also removable
for cleaning.
• If the caps, crowns and cups are heavily soiled,
use a non-abrasive cleaning compound.
• Flame port blockages should be removed by
using a matchstick or brush.
• Do not clean them with abrasive or caustic type
cleaners, or clean them in a dishwasher.
• The hob glass can be cleaned with the supplied
razor blade scraper.
Induction hob
• Remove all spilt food and fat with the supplied razor
blade scraper, while the ceramic glass is still warm but
not hot. Wipe clean with dishwashing detergent on a
damp cloth.
• If aluminium foil, plastic items or high sugar content
foods are allowed to melt on the ceramic glass, clean
immediately with the supplied razor blade scraper
before the surface has cooled down, otherwise pitting
of the surface can occur.
NOTE: Items with high sugar content not only include
jam and fruit, but also vegetables such as peas, tomatoes
and carrots.
• When the ceramic glass is cool, apply a suitable
ceramic glass cleaner.
• It is important to follow the cleaner manufacturer's
instructions. Remove any cleaning residue from the
surface as staining of the cooktop may occur.
• Do not use abrasive sponges or scourers, as they
may scratch the surface.
• Any pitting, staining, scratches or other surface
deterioration is excluded from the warranty.
• Sometimes SURFACE stains appear to be 'bubble'
marks under the ceramic glass. These can be cleaned
off with a razor blade scraper and ceramic cleaner.
Oven
• Always keep your appliance clean. Ensure that fats
and oils do not accumulate around elements or fans.
• Always keep the oven dish, baking trays, grill dish
and grill dish inserts clean, as any fat deposits may
catch fire.
• Always wrap your meats in foil or an oven roasting
bag to minimise cleaning. Any polyunsaturated fats
can leave a varnish-like residue which is very difficult
to remove.
Grill
• Always keep the grill dish and grill dish insert clean,
as any fat deposits may catch fire.
Removing the shelves and grill dishes
• Slide the shelves and grill dish carrier towards you
until they reach the front stop.
• Tilt them up at the front to clear the side supports,
taking care not to spill the contents.
• Lift them clear.
• Wash the shelves and grill dish in hot soapy water.
• Reverse the above steps to put the shelves and grill
dishes back again.
• Ensure that they are placed between the 2 support
wires or correctly onto the runners.
Removing the shelf supports
• Grasp the shelf support at the front.
• Pull it firmly inwards.
Releasing the grill element
To release the grill element so that the oven roof can be
accessed for cleaning, push the element upwards and
rotate the 3 clips backwards and away from the element
rod. This will allow the front of the element to drop down.
WARNING
The door glass on this appliance is made from a
tough, durable material that withstands heating
and cooling without breaking. However, it must be
remembered that it is GLASS, it may break. Treat it
accordingly! Should you have any questions about
the glass in your new appliance, please contact the
customer care centre by dialling 1300 363 640.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal
scrapers to clean the oven door since they can
scratch the surface, which may result in shattering
of the glass.
