MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
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.
Before cleaning, ensure all control
knobs are in the OFF position, and the
appliance has cooled completely
.
Before any maintenance or cleaning can
be carried out, you must DISCONNECT
the cooker from the electricity supply.
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
• Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
• Chemical oven pads or aerosols
• Rust removers
• Bath/Sink stain removers
Oven Cavity
The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst
the oven is still warm.
Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in
warm soapy water after each use. From time to
time it will be necessary to do a more thorough
cleaning, using a proprietary oven cleaner.
Oven Door Glass
The internal oven door glass can be removed for
cleaning. For this purpose remove the 2 fixing
screws. Clean the outer and inner door glass
using warm soapy water. Should the inner door
glass become heavily soiled it is recommended
that a cleaning product such as Hob Brite, or Bar
Keepers Friend be used.
Always support the door while removing the
glass panel as the door may spring closed due to
its lighter weight.
Removing the Oven Door
1. Open the door completely.
2. Turn the two locking levers (1) on the hinge
arms fully upwards.
3. Hold the oven door at the sides using both
hands and close the door partially to a 30
o
angle.
4. Lift the door and pull out.
Hanging the Oven Door
1. Hold the oven door at the sides using both
hands and hold the door at an angle of
approx 30
o
.
2. Introduce and then push the hinges into the
cut-outs on the front of the oven, ensuring
that the supports (2) of the hinge arms are
correctly placed in the cut-outs (3) of the
hinge support.
3. Turn the locking levers (1) fully downwards.
