CLEANING COOKER
CLEANING THE COOKER
Ovens and hotplates are made from steel and enamel.
Do not use abrasives and harsh scourers as they may scratch
the surface.
ENAMEL
• Keep enamel clean by wiping it with a soft cloth dipped in
warm soapy water.
• Rub difficult stains with a nylon scourer or cream powder
cleanser.
• DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, powder cleaners, steel
wool or wax polishes.
• If you use an oven cleaner, follow the instructions on the
product carefully.
STAINLESS STEEL
• All grades of stainless steel can stain, discolour or becomes
greasy. Clean the cooker regularly, using the procedures
outlined below, to maintain the function and appearance of
your appliance.
• Care must be taken when wiping exposed stainless steel
edges as they can be sharp.
• The front frame around the oven can be cleaned with
stainless steel cleaners if it comes soiled or discoloured.
• A suitable cleaner can be purchased from Electrolux
Customer Care Centres.
• Always clean the stainless steel in the direction of the grain.
Going against the grain may scratch the surface.
OVEN SHELVES
• Chrome shelves: use detergent and hot water. If very dirty
use a non-abrasive nylon scourer.
OVEN – GRILL DISH AND INSERT
• After every use and while still warm, wash pan and
grill with warm soapy water and a suitable oven cleaner.
Rinse and dry before replacing in position.
OVEN
• Use detergent, warm water (and household cloudy
ammonia if necessary) and a soft cloth. Dry thoroughly.
• Remove shelves when the cleaning oven.
• If there is a build-up of grease use a suitable oven cleaner,
following the instructions on the cleaning product carefully.
Heat oven to 110°C and turn oven off when 110°C is
reached. Leave over-night. The fumes will loosen stubborn
grease and stains. Remove bowl, wash with hot, soapy
water and dry well before closing oven door again. Ensure
oven is throroughly rinsed and dried before subsequent use.
WARNING
CAUTION
• DO NOT remove the oven door.
CERAMIC HOTPLATES
Remove all spilt food with a razor blade scraper while the
hotplate is still warm – NOT HOT.
• If aluminium foil, plastic items or foods with a high sugar
content melt onto glass, use a razor blade scraper to remove
immediately before the hotplate has cooled, otherwise
pitting of the surface may occur. High sugar content foods
include jam, fruit, carrots, tomatoes and peas.
• When the ceramic hotplate has cooled, wipe clean with
dishwashing detergent and a damp cloth.
NOTE: DO NOT use abrasive sponges or scourers, oven sprays
or stain removers on ceramic hotplates. These may damage,
scratch or stain the ceramic cooktop. any pitting, staining or
scratching WILL NOT be covered by warranty.
SOLID HOTPLATES
Solid hotplates are fitted with stainless steel trim rings, which
after initial use, change colour to light brown. This is a normal
characteristic of stainless steel and will not affect the operation
or performance of your hotplates.
• Clean off any spillage after hotplate has cooled down.
• At regular intervals, clean hotplate with a nylon scouring
pad and soapy water. Wipe clean then warm hotplate for
30 seconds to dry the surface.
• Apply ‘hotplate protector'. Set hotplate on high for
3 minutes to allow coating to harden.
RADIANT HOTPLATES
These plates are self cleaning. Any liquid which boils over
will burn to ash and can be wiped off when the hotplate
has cooled. To clean the trim rings, lift front of element
and remove, then wash in warm, soapy water.
To clean any spillage that falls through the element, remove
the spillage tray and wash in warm soapy water.
GAS BURNERS
• Flame port blockages should be removed with a small metal
cake skewer or nylon brush.
• Clean dirty spark plugs very gently with a nylon scourer.
Do not use steel wool. Do not bend spark plug as it
may break.
• If the caps, crowns and cups are heavily soiled, use a non-
abrasive cleaning compound.
• Do not clean these parts with abrasive or caustic type
cleaners, or clean in a dishwasher as they will be
damaged.
