Maintenance and Cleaning

Warning

Before cleaning always allow the appliance to cool down

before switching off at the electricity supply.

Cleaning materials

Before using any cleaning materials on your appliance,

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 and

scourers should also be avoided.

External cleaning

Do not use abrasive cleaning materials e.g. abrasive

cream cleaners, wire wool pads or scourers on painted

or printed finishes as damage may occur. Regularly

wipe over the control panel, doors and appliance sides

using a soft cloth and hot soapy water. To prevent

streaking, finish with a soft cloth.

Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and should

be avoided as they may dull the surface finish.

Any

spillage on the stainless steel finish must be

wiped off immediately.

Warning

Do not attempt to remove any of the control knobs

from the appliance as this may cause damage and is a

safety hazard.

Warning

Under no circumstances should the door assembly be

detached from the product for cleaning.

Cleaning the control knobs
and handles

It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water be used

for cleaning the control knobs and handles.

ANY OTHER

CLEANING MATERIALS MAY DULL THE SURFACE

FINISH.

Cleaning the shelves, wirework
runners and grill/oven
furniture.

All removable parts, except the grill pan handle, can be washed

in the dishwasher. The grill pan, grill pan grid, oven shelves and

wirework runners may be cleaned using a soap impregnated

steel wool pad. Soaking first in hot soapy water will make

cleaning easier.

Removing and replacing the
wirework runners

Remove all shelves and furniture from the oven/grill

cavities.

Hold the wirework at the bottom, unclip from the

cavity side and gently pull towards the centre of the

oven/grill cavity.

Unhook the runner at the top and remove from the

cavity.

To replace the runners, hook the wirework side

runner into the cavity, slide back and press into place.

Warning

Ensure the wirework runners are firmly in position

before replacing the oven shelves.

Cleaning inside the ovens

The Stayclean surface inside the ovens should not be

cleaned manually. See 'Care of Stayclean Surfaces'. The

vitreous enamel main oven base and grill compartment

base can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners with

care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are

followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.

Warning

Aerosol cleaners must not be used on Stayclean

surfaces and must not come into contact with the

elements, the door seal or any painted finishes as this

may cause damage.

Care of stayclean surfaces

To carry out the cleaning cycle, remove the oven

shelves and set the oven to 220°C.

It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two

per week to ensure continued good performance from

the Stayclean finish.

Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean

surfaces may occur in time. This does not affect the

Stayclean properties in any way.

Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting meat,

potatoes only require brushing with fat before cooking.

Extra fat in the oven during roasting will increase

splashing and staining of the cavity.

It is not necessary to add water to a meat tin when

roasting. The water and the fat juices from the joint

create excessive splattering during cooking – even at

normal temperatures, as well as causing condensation.

Covering joints during cooking will also prevent

splashing onto the interior surfaces. Removing the

covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow extra

browning if required. Some large joints and turkeys

especially benefit by this method of cooking, allowing

the joint to cook through before the outside is over-

browned.
