Cleaning and Maintenance
Before cleaning switch the oven off
and let it cool down.
The appliance must not be cleaned
with a superheated steam cleaner or a
steam jet cleaner.
Important: Before carrying out any cleaning
operation, the appliance must be disconnected
from the power supply.
To ensure a long life for your appliance, it is
necessary to perform the following cleaning
operations regularly:
-
Only perform when the oven has cooled
down.
-
Clean the enamelled parts with soapy water.
-
Do not use abrasive cleaners.
-
Dry the stainless steel parts and glass with a
soft cloth.
-
If there are stubborn stains, use commercially
available for stainless steel or warm vinegar.
The oven's enamel is extremely durable and
highly impermeable. The action of hot fruit acids
(from lemons, plums or similar) can however
leave permanent, dull, rough marks on the surface
of the enamel. However such marks in the brightly
polished surface of the enamel does not affect the
operation of the oven. Clean the oven thoroughly
after every use. This is the easiest way to clean
dirt off. It prevents dirt being burnt on.
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 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
Disconnect the appliance from the power
supply before removing the grease filter.
Wash the filter after use using warm soapy
water. Do not use abrasive materials to clean the
seal. The grease filter is dishwasher proof.
