Oven cleaning and maintenance
Before cleaning your oven or performing maintenance, make sure that the cooking mode selection
knob and the cooking temperature selection knob is set to 'OFF'. To extend the life of your oven, it
must be cleaned frequently.
The inside of the oven should preferably be cleaned immediately after use, when it is still warm
( but not hot ) , with warm water and soap. The soap should be rinsed away and the interior dried
thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive detergents, scourers acidic cleaners such as lime scale remover,
etc. as these could damage the enamel. If stains are particularly tough to remove, use cleaners
specifically recommended to Clean Ovens and follow the instructions provided with the cleaner.
Never use a steam cleaner or caustic oven cleaners for cleaning inside the oven.
If you operate your oven for an extended period of time, or if you are cooking dishes that contain
a lot of water, condensation may form on the oven door. Dry it using a soft cloth and try reducing
the cooking temperature.
There is a rubber seal surrounding the oven opening which is necessary to ensure the correct
operation of the oven. Check the condition of this seal on a regular basis. If necessary, clean it
but avoid using abrasive products or objects to do so. Should it become damaged, please
contact Authorised service department. We recommend you avoid using the oven until it has
been repaired. Never place anything (including foil and oven trays) on the bottom of the oven
when it is in operation because this could damage the enamel.
Clean the glass door using non-abrasive products or sponges and dry it with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they
can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering the glass.
Use only non caustic oven cleaners purchased from hardware stores or supermarkets.
