A little soap or detergent may be added to the washing water but too much can produce a cloudy
film over the appliance. Use of steel wool is not recommended but stainless steel wool (a fine
mesh pad) is an excellent cleaning aid. Oil or grease in the washing water can leave a rainbow
film when it dries. It can easily be removed by simply using polishing and cleaning methods
described previously. Thoroughly rinsing with clean water is the real secret and it a surprise how
easily stainless steel can be kept sparkling clean by using the above simple method.
Never leave stainless steel to dry by itself.
3. Only place cookware on oven shelves.
Other surfaces such as trims are not totally resistant to hard materials or direct heat and may be
permanently damaged by such use.
Recommended cleaners
Mild detergents and warm water together with a clean, soft, non-abrasive cloth achieve goods
results for normal cleaning. Diluted washes with ammonia and water should rinse away any
adhesive residue or gummy deposits on the appliance surfaces. Eucalyptus oil (small amounts) is
also good for removing adhesive residue. Alcohol based products (eg: methylated spirit, etc.) are
not recommended. Brand name cream cleansers and concentrates, without abrasive qualities,
can be used in small amounts to break down greasy deposits and dirt. After cleaning make sure
cleaned surfaces are thoroughly rinsed to prevent any risk of baked on cleaner residues and wipe
dry with a clean, soft cloth.

recommend 3M brand or Advance stainless steel
cleaner. Other reputable brand cleaners specifically formulated for cleaning stainless steel may
also be acceptable. Do not use steel soap pads or abrasive scourers of any kind. The abrasive
qualities of these pads will ruin the even brushed finish of the stainless steel and any residual
metal fibers may corrode causing a rusty/dull appearance. Metal polishes with abrasive qualities
are also not recommended.
WARNING:
Do not use any acid or caustic cleansers or abrasive powders or scourers on the interior
or exterior of the appliance.
Routine cleaning
Ensure all controls are in the off position and the appliance is cool before cleaning. When wiping
stainless steel surfaces with a brushed finish, wipe in the same directions as the brushing.
To clean the oven interior, fully open (side opening door/s) or remove the door/s (top opening
type, see opposite page) for better access while cleaning. The shelves and shelf guides can be
lifted out for cleaning by removing the relevant thumb screws. The shelves and shelf guides can
be washed manually but are also dishwasher safe.
If using commercial oven cleaners, choose only non-caustic cleaners and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. Avoid contact with elements, rubber door seals and exterior surfaces.
After cleaning make sure all surfaces are thoroughly rinsed and wiped dry with a clean, soft cloth.
