CLEANING
THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY MUST BE
SWITCHED OFF BEFORE CLEANING
All exterior surfaces are hard wearing,
easily cleaned and impervious to all normal
heat and spillage encountered during
cooking. Vitreous enamel can be chipped
by a hard blow and reasonable care should
be
exercised. The exterior surfaces
including the door should be cleaned using
a little liquid detergent in hot water, and
polished with a soft cloth.
Cleaners which contain bleach should not
be used as they may dull the surface. Harsh
abrasives may also effect the finish and
should not be used. When removing parts
of
the appliance for cleaning, we
recommend that they are not subjected to
thermal shock, i.e. do not plunge a very hot
grill pan or meat tin into cold water.
Note:
Before using any proprietary oven cleaner,
ensure that it is suitable for application on
polished surfaces e.g. chromium, anodized
aluminium, stainless steel, vitreous
enamel. Certain cleaners may have an
adverse effect.
Cleaning the Grill
It is essential to keep the underside of the
removable vitreous enamel grill deflector
absolutely clean. After grilling, thorough
cleaning of the surface with a soap
impregnated steel wool pad is advised.
The deflector can be removed by opening
the grill compartment door. Clean the grill
pan in a similar manner.
When replacing the grill deflector make
sure it is in position immediately above the
grill element, with the front lip down.
Cleaning the Second Oven
To minimise oven soilage we advise
cooking at the temperatures and shelf-
positions recommended. ‘STAY-CLEAN’
panels may have been fitted to this oven
and instructions for cleaning these are
given in the section ‘Care of Stay-Clean’.
If any spillage drops onto the removable
vitreous enamel base, normal oven
cleaners may be used to remove it.
The oven shelf if heavily soiled will wipe
clean if first soaked in hot soapy water.
Cleaning the Main Oven
‘STAY CLEAN’ panels have been fitted to
this oven, instructions for cleaning these
panels are given under ‘Care of Stay
Clean’.
Vitreous enamel may be cleaned using
normal oven cleaners.
Oven shelves if heavily soiled will wipe
clean if first soaked in hot soapy water.
Note:
If aerosol cleaners are used on any part of
the appliance the manufacturer’s
instructions must be followed, and it is
recommended that all parts are well rinsed
afterwards.
AEROSOL CLEANERS MUST NOT BE
USED ON ‘STAY-CLEAN’ LINERS, AND
MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO COME
INTO CONTACT WITH THE ELEMENTS
AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE.
STAY-CLEAN LINERS
Care of Stay-Clean
Cleaning of the ‘Stay-Clean’ surface is
initiated by an inclusion of special oxides in
the enamel; these are activated when the
temperature of the oven is raised, and
aided by oxygen, result In the soilage i.e.
food splatter and grease being destroyed.
The linings clean themselves during
normal roasting and baking.
As cleaning may be improved by exposure
to a higher temperature, it may be
necessary to run the oven at 240°C for an
hour or two per week. Manual cleaning is
not advisable on ‘Stay-Clean’ panels. Do
not use soap impregnated steel wool pads,
aerosol cleaners, or any abrasive cleaners
as these may damage the surface of the
panels. Slight discolouration may occur in
