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 Force
Centre who will be pleased to advise further.
Oven Shelves and Shelf
Supports
To clean the oven shelves and the shelf supports, 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.
Cleaning the Oven
Oven Cavity
The enamelled base of the 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.
Grease Filter
To prevent a build-up of fats on the fan impellor, the grease
filter must be fitted by clipping it over the vents in the
back panel.
To clean the grease filter
When the oven has cooled down, remove the filter by
pushing the protruding tongue on the filter upward, and
wash carefully.
The grease filter should be cleaned after every use. The
filter may be washed in a dishwasher on a 65°C wash. If
the filter is heavily soiled, place the filter in a saucepan
of water with approximately 1 teaspoon of automatic
washing powder or dishwasher powder. Bring to the boil
and leave to soak for approximately 30 minutes or longer
depending on the degree of soiling. Ensure the solution
does not boil over as it could mark your hob.
Rinse filter in clear water and dry.
Remember to refit the filter before using the oven
again.
