CLEANING
IMPORTANT: BE CAREFUL OF THE HOT
APPLIANCE.
General cleaning must be carried out when the
cooker is cool.
Stanley cookers are finished in a high gloss vitreous
enamel. To keep the enamel in the best condition
observe the following tips:
1.
Wipe over daily with a soapy damp cloth,
followed by a polish with a clean dry duster.
2.
If milk, fruit juice or anything containing acid is
spilt on the hob or down the cooker, be sure to
wipe it immediately or the vitreous enamel may
be permanently discoloured. Jam and
preservatives containing sugar can permanently
damage the vitreous enamel.
3.
Keep a damp cloth to hand while cooking, to
wipe up any spills as they occur, so they do not
harden and become more difficult to remove
later.
4.
If spills do become baked on, a cream cleanser
can be used. For stubborn deposits a soap
impregnated pad can be carefully used on the
vitreous enamel.
5.
Use only products recommended by the
Vitreous Enamel Association, these products
carry the Vitramel label.
6.
In the oven, spills and fat splashes are
carbonised at high temperatures: occasionally
brush out with a stiff brush. The shelves can be
soaked and cleaned with a cream cleanser.
7.
Both insulating covers should be raised and
allowed to cool before cleaning the enamel with
a soapy damp cloth. Use a wire brush to keep
the cast iron hotplate clean.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE PADS OR OVEN
CLEANERS CONTAINING CITRIC ACID ON
ENAMELLED SURFACES. ENSURE THAT
THE CLEANSER MANUFACTURERS
INSTRUCTIONS ARE ADHERED TO.
Association
completely, remove all loose sections on top of the
Cooker, open the direct damper, remove the flue box
plate from the flue chamber and remove the
cleaning door from the front of the Cooker in order to
obtain access. Remove the hotplate cleaning panel
and hob cleaning plate, and clean the heat collecting
fins on the hotplate. Carbon deposits on these
surfaces will reduce efficiency by up to 20%. All
deposits from the flue pipe and the top of the oven
may be brushed both into the firebox and down the
side of the oven.
Deposits which have accumulated on the side of the
oven must also be brushed downwards. To remove
the accumulated ash and soot, thoroughly clean out
the residue from the side flues and base plate
through the front cleaning door opening — this
operation is essential otherwise the flow of hot
gases will be obstructed and satisfactory oven
temperatures will not be maintained, apart from
which such deposits may contribute to smoking.
Replace all the loose parts which have been
removed making sure that all cooking surfaces have
been thoroughly cleaned on the underside. (See
Figs. 17, 18 & 19).
GRATE REMOVAL
Lift the back of the grate and push it in towards the
back of the boiler until the front of the bars pass the
front casting. Tilt the grate up on the right hand side,
drop down the left hand side towards the back of the
boiler and pass the grate through the opening in the
front casting, taking care not to damage the enamel.
