CHEMICAL CLEANERS OF
ANY KIND, UNLESS
SPECIFIED BELOW.
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners
on the appliance.
!
Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge
and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive
material or sharp metal scrapers as these could
scratch the surface and cause the glass to crack.
!
The accessories can be washed like everyday
crockery (even in your dishwasher).
Cleaning materials to avoid:
1. Plastic or nylon pads
2. Household abrasive powders and scourers. These
may scratch the surface.
3. Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads.
Caustic cleaners such as these will etch the surface
and attack the metal frame.
4. Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface.
ALWAYS SWITCH OFF AT THE MAINS SWITCH
BEFORE CLEANING.
Ceramic hotplates:
Clean your Ceramic hob top regularly and avoid
repeated burning of encrusted contamination.
Your choice of cleaner will depend on the degree of
soiling involved (see below).
•
minor soiling,
where the contamination has not
burnt hard, can be wiped off with a clean wet cloth
•
major soiling
and strongly-adhering burnt
encrustation can be quickly and easily removed
with a razor-blade scraper
•
hard water stains, grease spots and discoloration
having a metallic sheen can be removed with 'Easy
Do Cleaner Powder'
•
always condition hob after cleaning by using 'Easy
Do Conditioner' or 'Hob Brite'. Apply a small amount
of conditioner with a clean damp cloth or paper
towel. Rub vigorously. Remove excess with a clean
damp cloth or paper towel. Polish with a clean cloth
or paper towel before the conditioner dries.
Detergent residues must always be completely
removed with a clean wet cloth, (even if the
instructions for use suggest otherwise), as they can
have an etching effect when reheated.
Then wipe dry.
To maintain hob in good condition, we would
recommend regular use of the 'Easy Do Powder
Cleanser'.
Sprinkle Powder Cleanser on a clean damp cloth or
paper towel and rub vigorously for 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove all residue with a clean damp cloth or paper
towel. Then use conditioner to protect the hob.
For more stubborn marks, mix a small amount of the
powder cleanser with 'Jif Lemon Juice' (from a
bottle) and carefully spread over the affected area.
Cover with a damp paper towel and leave for a
minimum of 15 minutes. Rub vigorously. Remove
excess with a clean damp cloth or paper towel
before the conditioner dries. Polish with a clean cloth
or paper towel.
Easy Do products are available from many electrical
retailers and our Parts Department.
Homecare 'Hob Brite' is available from leading
Supermarkets.
'STAY CLEAN'Oven liners*
Refer to the instructions below for cleaning the 'Stay
clean' panels.
How "STAY CLEAN" works:
The surfaces of the 'Stay clean' oven liners are
treated on the mottled face with a special vitreous
enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At
temperatures of 220°C (425°F) or above, the special
surface enables these soils to be slowly destroyed.
The higher the temperature the more effective it is.
In most cases normal cooking operations at this
temperature will permit this cleaning operation to
proceed during cooking. However if higher cooking
temperatures are not used regularly it may be
necessary in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run
the oven without a meat pan at maximum setting for
a couple of hours.
