‘Stay Clean’ liners 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’ liners 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.
The oven shelves can be cleaned either in a dishwasher or by using a
fine steel wool soap pad. The grill and meat pans can be cleaned in
warm soapy water using a fine steel wool soap pad to remove
stubborn stains or in a dishwasher.
They should be cleaned after each use.
To clean the oven interiors remove all the oven fittings and where
applicable the ‘Stay Clean’ liners.
All types of oven cleaners can be used, but do not allow abrasive
cleaners or oven spray to come into contact with the ‘Stay Clean’
liners.
Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains.
The inner door glass panel can be removed for easy cleaning, see
page 33.
Regularly wipe with a clean, damp cloth and polish with a clean, dry
cloth.
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.
NOTE: DO NOT use metal cleaning utensils, wire wool or
proprietary oven cleaners on the grill element mesh.
Unscrew the glass cover, using a suitable cloth to protect the
fingers and remove carefully. Unscrew the existing light bulb, and
remove. Screw the new bulb into position and replace the glass
cover, with metal washer, until positioned securely.
WARNING: TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, BEFORE REPLACING THE OVEN
LIGHT, SWITCH THE COOKER OFF AT THE COOKER CONTROL UNIT (and
allow to cool if the oven has been used).
