Care and Cleaning
Warning: Before cleaning, please ensure that the
electricity supply to the appliance is switched off
and the appliance is fully cold.
! 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).
1. "STAYCLEAN" OVEN LINERS
(Top Oven Sides, Main Oven Sides and
Rear Panel)
MAIN OVEN SIDES AND REAR PANEL
TOP OVEN SIDES
(a) How "Stayclean" works.
The surfaces of the "Stayclean" oven liners (Main
Oven rear panel) are treated 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.
(b) Cleaning.
In most cases normal cooking operations at 220°C
(425°F) 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 ovens without shelves or meat pan, at a
maximum setting for a couple of hours (Fan Oven
mode only).
It should not normally be necessary to clean the
"Stayclean" panels with water. If the user feels it is
desirable to do so, wipe them over with a clean,
soapy cloth, followed by a wipe with a clean damp
cloth.
DO NOT use biological washing powder, harsh
abrasives or chemical oven cleaners of any kind
as this could damage the "Stayclean" oven liners.

BASE
(a) Base & Rear of Top Oven and Base of Main
Oven.
Wipe out the oven with a damp soapy cloth. For
more stubborn stains on the base of the oven use a
well soaped fine steel wool soap pad.
(b) Grill Pan, Meat Pan & Oven Shelves.
To prevent stains from being burnt on to the grill
pan, food support and rod shelf, always wash
immediately after use in warm soapy water.
Use a well soaped fine steel wool soap pad to
remove stubborn stains from the rod shelves, grill
pan, meat pan and the base of the oven.
DO NOT use aerosol cleaners on this oven as
they could adversely affect the fan motor unit,
and cannot be wiped off the fan blade.
(c) Solarplus Grill.
To clean the Solarplus Grill, use a clean, damp,
soapy cloth and wipe over. If stubborn stains
remain, gently clean with a well soaped nylon
scouring pad and wipe over with a damp cloth.
DO NOT use metal cleaning utensils, wire wool or
proprietary oven cleaners on the grill element
mesh.
