Oven Cavity
The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the
oven is still warm.
Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in warm
soapy water after each use. From time to time it will be
necessary to do a more thorough cleaning, using a
proprietary oven cleaner.
If the soilage has become set, after the oven has cooled
down, the following process will help to soften the
splatters to help make cleaning easier.
1. Place the grill/ meat pan on the oven shelf positioned
in the lowest runner.
2. Add a few drops of wasing-up liquid to the pan and
fill to about 12 mm. with boiling water from the kettle.
3. Close the oven door, turn the oven function knob on
fan oven
and set the thermostat knob on 50
°
C.
4. After 15 minutes, turn off the thermostat and allow
the fan oven to continue without heat for a further 5
minutes, when the temperature of the water will have
cooled down.
5. Carefully remove the pan of water from the oven and
use normal oven cleaners to clean away soil residues.
6. Leave a little of the soapy water to soak into any
burned on spillage on the floor of the oven for a
longer time if necessary.
Oven Shelves
To clean the oven shelves, soak in warm soapy water
and remove stubborn marks with a well wetted soap
impregnated pad. Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.
The shelf supports can be removed for easy cleaning
(see diagram). Please, ensure the retaining nuts are
secure when refitting the shelf support.
Before cleaning always allow the cooling fan
to cool the oven down before switching off at
the electricity supply.
The oven should be kept clean at all times. A
build-up of fats or other foodstuffs could result
in a fire, especially in the grill pan.
Cleaning materials
Before using any cleaning materials on your oven,
check that they are suitable and that their use is
recommended by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives
should also be avoided.
External cleaning
Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven door and
door seal using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water
to which a little liquid detergent has been added.
To prevent damaging or weakening the door
glass panels avoid the use of the following:
•
Household detergent and bleaches
•
Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick
saucepans
•
Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
•
Chemical oven pads or aerosols
•
Rust removers
•
Bath/Sink stain removers
Clean the outer and inner door glass using warm soapy
water. Should the inner door glass become heavily
soiled it is recommended that a cleaning product such
as Hob Brite is used. Do not use paint scrapers to
remove soilage.
DO NOT clean the oven door while the glass
panels are warm. If this precaution is not
observed the glass panel may shatter.
If the door glass panel becomes chipped or
has deep scratches, the glass will be
weakened and must be replaced to prevent
the possibility of the panel shattering. Contact
your local Service Centre who will be pleased
to advise further.
