Cleaning the hinged grill
This model has been fitted with a hinged grill element
to enable you to clean the roof of the oven easily.
Before proceeding ensure the oven is cool
and is disconnected from the electricity
supply.
1) Undo the screws which holds the grill in place (see
diagram). When doing this operation for the first
time, we recommend using a screwdriver.
2) Then gently pull the grill downward to allow access
to the oven roof (see diagram).
3) Clean the oven roof with a suitable cleaner and wipe
dry before replacing the hinged grill element.
4) Gently push up the grill element into place and firmly
screw into place the holding nuts.
Ensure the grill holding nuts are firmly in place to
avoid the grill falling down when in use.
Oven Cavity
The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the
oven is still warm.
It is preferable/advisable to wipe the oven over with a
soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water after each use.
However, from time to time it will be necessary to do a
more thorough cleaning using a proprietary oven
cleaner, do not use abrasive scourers or steel wool.
NOTE:
Do NOT use caustic base oven cleaners.
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.
Before cleaning always allow the cooling fan to
cool the oven down before switching off at the
electricity supply.
This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or
with a steam cleaning machine.
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 washing up liquid 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
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.
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.
