CARE AND CLEANING
ALWAYS
NEVER
•
Before any manual cleaning or maintenance,
first wait for the oven to cool down to a safe
temperature to touch, then turn its power supply
off at the wall.
•
Read these cleaning instructions and the ‘Safety
and warnings’ section before you start cleaning
your oven.
•
To prevent soiling from becoming ‘baked on’ and
stubborn, we recommend removing any easy-to-
reach spills, food or grease stains from the oven
cavity enamel after each use.
•
Always clean the inner glass pane before
starting Self Clean. Failure to do this will mean
that residue will bake on and be impossible to
remove.
•
Always remove oven shelves before starting Self
Clean.
•
Never use a steam cleaner.
•
Never store flammable substances in the oven.
•
Never use abrasive or harsh cleaners, cloths,
scouring pads or steel wool. Some nylon
scourers may also scratch. Check the label first.
•
Never use oven cleaner on catalytic panels or in
a pyrolytic oven.
•
Never leave alkaline (salty spills) or acidic
substances (such as lemon juice or vinegar) on
the oven surfaces.
•
Never use cleaning products with a chlorine or
acidic base.

Take particular care when cleaning
the control panel glass and screen.
Only use a damp cloth with

Clean with a solution of mild
detergent and hot water, then wipe

Do not use stainless steel or oven
cleaner on the dial, as doing so may
damage its coating.
Stainless steel strip/oven
door handle*
Clean with a solution of mild
detergent and hot water, then wipe
dry with a microfibre cloth.
If necessary, use a suitable stainless
steel cleaner and polish.
Always read the label to make sure
that your stainless steel cleaner does
not contain chlorine compounds
as these are corrosive and may
damage the appearance of your
oven.
Always rub the stainless steel in the
direction of the grain.
