TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH AND ENSURE THE

COOKER IS COLD BEFORE CLEANING.

BEFORE SWITCHING ON AGAIN, ENSURE THAT

ALL CONTROLS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION.

NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL WASHING POWDER,

HARSH ABRASIVES, SCOURING PADS, AEROSOL

CLEANERS OR OVEN 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 averyday

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 discolouration

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.

Care and Cleaning

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, our

Parts Department (see Key Contacts, back page) and

our Spares Distributors. Homecare 'Hob Brite' is

available from leading Supermarkets.

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.

Model KT6C3 only: The grill (top cavity) runners are

fixed and should not be removed for cleaning. Wipe

with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water followed

by a wipe with a damp clean cloth.

Decorative trims

It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to

prevent any build up of soiling which may detract from

the appearance of the cooker.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.

Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners/

powders which may scratch the surface.

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.
