18. CLEANING GENERAL After use and while the cooker is still warm, not hot, it should be wiped with a damp cloth using warm soapy water. With regular cleaning your cooker will remain in good condition. Always disconnect the electricity supply to the oven before cleaning. To keep the cooker looking at its best, wipe any spills as soon as they occur, this will prevent them from burning on and becoming more difficult to remove.

20. TROUBLESHOOTING The oven will not operate. Is there a power failure? Is the cooker turned on at the wall mounted box? Turn on the cooker to check the mains supply. Confirm that power is arriving at the cooker by noting that the clock on the automatic programmer is working. If the clock is not working check the fuse/circuit breaker.
