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
• 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
The shelf supports can be removed for easy cleaning (see
diagrams 1 and 2 in the following page).
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.
Pyrolytic cleaning
The oven cavity is coated with a special enamel resistant
to high temperatures.
During the pyrolytic cleaning operation, the temperature
inside the oven can reach about 500°C thus burning food
residuals.
For your security, during the pyrolityc cleaning operation,
the oven door automatically locks when the temperature
inside the oven approaches about 300°C.
Upon completion of the cleaning operation, the
oven door will be locked until the oven cavity has
cooled down.
The cooling fan operates during cooking until the oven
has cooled down. After cooking, it is advisable to remove
all the food residues with a wet sponge.
However, from time to time, it will be necessary to do a
more complete and thorough cleaning, using the pyrolytic
cleaning function. You can select two different levels of
pyrolytic cleaning depending on how dirty the oven is.
If the oven cavity is not very dirty, we recommend that you
select the pyrolytic 1 function (P I) on the programmer
display.
It is advisable to wipe the oven over with a soft sponge
soaked in warm water after each pyrolytic cleaning cycle
is carried out.
If the oven cavity is very dirty, we advise you to select the
pyrolytic 2 function (P 2) on the programmer display.
During the pyrolytic cleaning function, it is not possible to
use the oven for 2 hours when selecting the Pyr 1 function
and up to 2 1/2 hours when the Pyr 2 function is active.
