• Clean the enamelled parts with soapy wa-
ter.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Dry the stainless steel parts and glass with
a soft cloth.
• If there are stubborn stains, use commer-
cially available cleaners for stainless steel
or warm vinegar.
The oven's enamel is extremely durable and
highly impermeable.
The action of hot fruit acids (from lemons,
plums or similar) can, however, leave perma-
nent, dull, rough marks on the surface of the
enamel.
However such marks in the brightly polished
surface of the enamel do not affect the op-
eration of the oven.
Clean the oven thoroughly after every use.
This is the easiest way to clean dirt off. It pre-
vents dirt being burnt on.
Cleaning materials
Before using any cleaning materials on your
oven, check that they are suitable and that
their use is recommended by the manufac-
turer
Cleaners that contain bleach should NEVER
be used as they may dull the surface finishes.
Harsh abrasives should also be avoided.
External cleaning
Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven
door and door seal using a soft cloth well
wrung out in warm water to which a little liq-
uid detergent has been added.
To prevent damaging or weakening the door
glass panels avoid the use of the following:
• Household detergents and bleaches
• Impregnated cleaning pads that are un-
suitable for non-stick saucepans
• Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
• Chemical oven pads or aerosols
• Rust removers
• Bath/Sink stain removers
Clean the outer and inner door glass using
warm soapy water.
Should the inner door glass become heavily
soiled it is recommended that a cleaning
product such as "Hob Brite" is used Do not
use paint scrapers to remove soilage.
Oven cavity
The enamelled oven floor is best cleaned
whilst the oven is still warm.
Wipe the oven with a soft cloth which is
washed out in warm soapy water after every
use. From time to time a more thorough
cleaning is required. Use a commercially
available oven cleaner for this.
Grill heating element
This model has been fitted with a hinged grill
element to enable you to clean the roof of the
oven easily.
Warning! Before proceeding ensure
the oven is cool and is disconnected
from the electricity supply.
1. Undo the screw fastening the grill el-
ement (see Fig.). When carrying out
this operation for the first time, we
recommend using a screwdriver.
2. Then pull the grill element down
carefully until you can access the
oven cover (see Fig.).
3. Clean the oven cover with a suitable
cleaner and wipe dry before replac-
ing the hinged grill element.
4. Gently push up the grill element into
place and tightly screw the holding
nut.
Warning! Ensure the retaining nut on
the grill element is properly
tightened so that it does not fall
down when in use.
