Cleaning the Oven

Before cleaning always allow the cooling fan to
cool the oven down before switching off at the
electricity supply.
This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or
with a steam cleaning machine.
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 washing up liquid 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, steel wool pads, chemical oven
pads or aerosols, rust removers and bath/sink stain
removers.
Before cleaning the oven door, we recommend you to
remove it from the oven.
Proceed as follows:
1. open the oven door completely;
2. find the hinges linking the door to the oven (Fig. A);
3. unlock and turn the small levers located on the two
hinges (Fig. B);
4. handle the door by its left- and right-hand sides,
then slowly turn it towards the oven until it is half-
closed (Fig. C);
5. gently pull the oven door off its site (Fig. C);
6. place it on a steady plan;
Clean the oven door glass with warm soapy water and a
softh cloth only. Never use harsh abrasives.
Once the cleaning is carried out, refit the oven door,
following the procedure in reverse.
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.
