Cleaning and Caring for the cooker
10
REMEMBER: BE CAREFUL OF THE HOT APPLIANCE.
DO NOT USE A STEAM CLEANER TO CLEAN THIS COOKER.
Rayburn Enamel Cleaner and Rayburn Chrome & Stainless Steel Cleaner are recommended.
Enamelled Top Plate and Front Plate
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 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 split 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 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 your 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).
Important:
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.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE PADS, THAT ARE NOT VEA APPROVED, OVEN CLEANER, OR CLEANERS CONTAINING
CITRIC ACID ON ENAMELLED SURFACES.
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.
