Care and Cleaning
WARNING: To avoid electric shocks - please ensure that the electricity supply to the appliance
is switched off and the appliance is fully cold.
Clean the cooker regularly and wipe up spills soon after they occur to prevent them from becoming burnt on.
Never use biological washing powder, caustic cleaners, harsh abrasives, scouring pads, steam cleaners,
aerosol cleaners or oven chemical cleaners of any kind.
If it is necessary to remove the cooker for cleaning, ensure that it is cool and beware that it is heavy.
To move the cooker forward, open the top oven/grill door and with both hands positioned under the roof of the
compartment, lift and pull forward. Replace by pushing the cooker backwards. Check that the cooker is level. Take
care not to damage any floor coverings.
OVEN HEAT CLEAN LININGS
The oven side linings are coated with a special enamel which has a continuous cleaning action. The higher the
oven temperature the more effective the action. In most cases this cleaning operation will proceed during normal
cooking. However, if roasting is done frequently, or high temperatures are not used regularly, it may be necessary to
occasionally operate the oven empty at Mark 8 for about an hour. It should not normally be necessary to clean the
linings with water, but if desired, wipe them over with a soapy cloth, followed by a wipe with a damp clean cloth.
Grill
Remove the grill pan and the wire grid food support, it is best to wash these items immediately after
use to prevent stains from being burnt on when used again. Wipe out the Grill compartment, use a fine
steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the grill runners and the floor of the compartment.
Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.
Control Panel
Do not use
cream cleaners, oven cleaners or aerosols, scouring pads or abrasive powder for
cleaning the plastic knobs as damage will occur.
Decorative Trims
It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to prevent any build up of soiling. The
recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over the trims with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water or
mild non-abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner on a small area of trim which is not noticeable in
normal use). Then, after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.
Doors
Wipe over the outer door glass panels with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water, then after wiping
with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.
Ensure that glass doors are not
subjected to any sharp mechanical blows.
Glass Inner Door Panel (where fitted)
– open the door fully and carefully slide the inner glass
towards you, taking care not to allow the glass to fall. The glass panel may now be washed at the sink.
Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool soap pad.
Ensure the glass panel is not
subjected to any sharp mechanical blows.
Take particular care not to damage the inner surface
which is coated with a heat reflective layer. After cleaning, rinse and dry with a soft cloth. For slight
soiling the inner glass panel may be cleaned, while still warm, without removing it from the door.
Warning: Oven must not be operated with inner door glass removed.
Take care
during cleaning not to damage or distort the door seals. Do not lift the door seal from the
oven chassis, if necessary remove the seal by carefully unhooking the corner clips.
Take care
that the rating label edges are not lifted during cleaning, and furthermore that the lettering is
not blurred or removed.
Ovens
Remove the rod shelves and grill pan. Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from
the rod shelves, grill pan and the floor of the oven. Clean the glass part of the oven door using a
sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough
abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface and cause the glass to
crack.
Oven Shelf
Supports
The shelf supports are removable and dishwasher safe.
To remove
hold the support at the front and pull away from the oven side, this can then be cleaned in
a sink or a dishwasher. When removed it allows access to the oven side, which can be cleaned with
warm soapy water.
To refit
the support, insert the longer leg into the rear fixing hole and push in the front leg.
