REMEMBER: BE CAREFUL OF THE HOT APPLIANCE
DO NOT USE A STEAM CLEANER TO CLEAN THIS COOKER
Enamelled Top Plate and Front Plate
l
It is not advisable to put very wet clothes onto the handrail, as this may craze the enamel.
l
To keep the vitreous enamelled surface bright and clean, wipe over daily with a soapy damp cloth, followed by a
clean dry cloth.
l
Wipe off any condensation streaks on the front plate as they occur or the vitreous enamel may be permanently
discoloured.
l
If milk or fruit juice or anything containing acid is spilt on the top plate or down the cooker, be sure to wipe it
immediately or the vitreous enamel may be permanently discoloured.
l
Keep a damp cloth handy while cooking, to wipe up spills as they occur, so that they do not harden and become more
difficult to remove later. Look for cleaners carrying the VEA (Vitreous Enamel Association) approval logo as this
indicates they can be used on the Rayburn.
l
For stubborn deposits, gentle localised soaking, not flooding, is easier than rubbing and hot water and detergent will
soften most burnt on stains in about 10 minutes.
l
A soap impregnated pad can be carefully used on the vitreous enamel (look for VEA mark on suitable cleaners).
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE PADS, THAT ARE NOT VEA APPROVED, OVEN CLEANER, OR CLEANERS CONTAINING
CITRIC ACID ON ENAMELLED SURFACES.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
AGA recommend Vitreous Enamel Association approved cleaners for cleaning the vitreous
enamelled surfaces of this product.
But they are unsuitable for use on chrome and stainless steel components, including the hand-rails and their brackets.
The insulating covers should be cleaned regularly with a NON-ABRASIVE mild detergent, applied with a soft (coarse free)
cloth and lightly polished up afterwards with a soft (coarse free) duster or tissue to bring it back to its original lustre.
Oven Door Linings
l
Using oven gloves carefully lift off the oven doors, lay them on a tea towel to protect the enamel. They can then be
cleaned with a cream cleanser or soap impregnated pad. Do not however, immerse the doors in water as they are
packed with insulating material which will be damaged by excessive moisture.
Insulating Lids

l
In the main oven, spills and fat splashes are carbonised at high temperatures. Occasionally brush out with a wire
brush. Do not use oven cleaners.
l
The lower oven should also be brushed or wiped out occasionally.
DO NOT USE ANY OVEN CLEANERS
