CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: the oven must be kept clean, as a build up of fat constitutes a
fire risk.
1. Cleaning of Stainless Steel: In order that your oven retains its new
appearance, care should be taken to protect the stainless steel finish.
Never use gritty or abrasive sponges. We highly recommend stainless
steel cleaners and protectors. Stubborn stains can be removed by
soaking in hot water and stains can be prevented by using a clean cloth
soaked in soapy water before a spillage becomes cold or dries up. Acid
materials like milks, vinegar, citrus juice can damage the most resistant
surfaces. If a spill occurs wipe it up immediately.
2. Oven Cleaning: Oven spills should be cleaned straight away. Leaving
them will cause burning and smoking inside the oven the next time it is
used. Leaving spills can also cause permanent damage to the enamel and
make it extremely hard to remove later. A non-caustic cleaner should be
used such as non caustic “Mr. Muscle” to clean the chamber of the oven.
Don not use caustic cleaners. Do not use abrasive scourers, sponges or
cleaning products. Wipe the oven out regularly while the oven is still warm
using hot soapy water and a soft cloth. The removal of the side supports
makes cleaning easier.
3. Cleaning of Oven Door - All models: The inner door glass is held in by a
number of screws and brackets at the top of the door, they can be
removed and the glass slid out to allow cleaning in between the sheets of
glass. With the glass removed the tension in the hinges will cause the door
to slam closed so be sure to hold the door handle. The glass can be
soaked in hot soapy water or special glass cleaners. The outer glass
should be cleaned with a specific glass and mirror cleaner. Soapy water
will remove stains and may leave streaks.
4. Removal of Side Shelf Supports - All models: The side racks are
removed by simply flexing the bottom rail off the support and unhooking at
the top. To replace just reverse the procedure.
5. Grill Element/Top Element - All models: This element must never be
sprayed with any detergents. A damp cloth and a bottlebrush can be used
to clean the roof of the oven and the element itself. Never soak the
element and always dry it after cleaning as not doing so can lead to
deterioration. It is important to clean this area regularly as fats spit up and
stick to the ceiling and element while grilling and they may burn, smoke
and give out unpleasant odours.
