CLEANING INSIDE THE GRILL AND
OVEN COMPARTMENTS
The sides and back of the main oven compartment
are coated with a special Stayclean coating. They
should not be cleaned manually.
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.
Aerosol cleaners must not come into
contact with elements/burners, door seal,
or any painted finishes as this may cause
damage.
HINTS AND TIPS
Aerosol cleaners must not be used on
Stayclean surfaces.
To carry out the cleaning cycle remove the oven
shelves and set the oven to gas mark 7. 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 discoloration 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 soilage.
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.
CLEANING THE DOOR(S)
To prevent damaging or weakening the
door glass panels avoid the use of the
following:
• Household detergents and bleaches
• Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-
stick saucepans
• Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
• Chemical oven pads or aerosols
• Rust removers
• Bath/Sink stain removers
