Care and Cleaning
Grill Remove the grill pan and the wire grid food support, it is best to wash these items immediately after
use to prevent stains from being burnt on when used again. Wipe out the Grill compartment, use a fine
steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the grill runners and the floor of the compartment.
Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.
Control Panel Do not use cream cleaners, oven cleaners or aerosols, scouring pads or abrasive powder for
cleaning the plastic knobs as damage will occur.
Decorative Trims It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to prevent any build up of soiling. The
recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over the trims with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water or
mild non-abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner on a small area of trim which is not noticeable in
normal use). Then, after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.
Doors Wipe over the outer door glass panels with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water, then after wiping
with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth. Ensure that glass doors are not
subjected to any sharp mechanical blows.
Glass Inner Door Panel (where fitted) – open the door fully and carefully slide the inner glass
towards you, taking care not to allow the glass to fall. The glass panel may now be washed at the sink.
Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool soap pad. Ensure the glass panel is not
subjected to any sharp mechanical blows. Take particular care not to damage the inner surface
which is coated with a heat reflective layer. After cleaning, rinse and dry with a soft cloth. For slight
soiling the inner glass panel may be cleaned, while still warm, without removing it from the door.
Warning: Oven must not be operated with inner door glass removed.
Take care during cleaning not to damage or distort the door seals. Do not lift the door seal from the
oven chassis, if necessary remove the seal by carefully unhooking the corner clips.
Take care that the rating label edges are not lifted during cleaning, and furthermore that the lettering is
not blurred or removed.
Ovens Remove the rod shelves and grill pan. Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from
the rod shelves, grill pan and the floor of the oven. 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.
Oven Shelf
Supports The shelf supports are removable and dishwasher safe.
To remove hold the support at the front and pull away from the oven side, this can then be cleaned in
a sink or a dishwasher. When removed it allows access to the oven side, which can be cleaned with
warm soapy water.
To refit the support, insert the longer leg into the rear fixing hole and push in the front leg.
Oven Lamp
Replacement Open the oven door and remove the rod shelves. Using a suitable cloth to protect the fingers grip the
light glass dome, unscrew anti-clockwise and lift. Reach into the aperture with fingers, and unscrew the
lamp anticlockwise. Fit replacement lamp (25W 300°C rated SES), refit dome.
WARNING: To avoid electric shocks - please ensure that the electricity supply to the appliance is
switched off and the appliance is fully cold, before removing the lamp lens.
'Stay Clean' Pannel*
'Stay Clean' panels are covered with a special enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At higher temperatures
the soiling is slowly destroyed. In most cases normal cooking at higher temperatures will permit this
cleaning to take place automatically. However, if higher cooking temperatures are not used regularly then it
may be necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven at maximum temperature for at least
two hours, from time to time. The 'Stay Clean' panel can be washed in warm soapy water followed by rinsing
in clear water. Dry well with a soft cloth.
NOTE: Do not use enzyme washing powder, harsh abrasives or chemical oven cleaners of any kind.
*In the models:C50GL; C50 LC/1 and C50GC/1 Stay Clean' Pannel is present only in the Main Oven.
Oven Fittings
