Burn hazard
Make  sure  the  heating  elements  are  turned  off  
and allowed to cool completely before any clea-
ning and/or maintenance operation.
Things to avoid:
 • Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the range: 
the  steam  could  reach  electrical  components 
and cause a short.
 • Do  not  spray  liquids  such  as  cleaning  agents 
into the openings on the bottom and top of the 
ovencavity.
 • All surfaces can discolor or be damaged if un-
suitable  cleaning  agents  are  used.  The  front 
of the  oven, in  particular,  will  be  damaged  by 
oven cleaners and descalers. All surfaces  are 
susceptible  to  scratching.  Scratches  on  glass 
surfaces  may  cause  a  breakage.  Immediately 
remove any residues by using suitable cleaning 
products.
 • The heating elements in the oven do not requi-
re cleaning. The elements burn off any residue 
when the oven is in use.
Cleaning stainless steel
All stainless steel parts should be wiped with hot 
water and soap solution at the end of each cycle. 
Wipe up spills and boilovers immediately. Use su-
itable,  non-abrasive  stainless  cleaning  products  
when water and soap solution will not do the job. 
DO NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths, clean-
sers, or powders.  If  necessary,  scrape  stainless 
steel  to  remove  encrusted  materials,  soak  the 
area  with  hot  towels  to  soften  the  residue,  then 
use  a  wooden  or  nylon  spatula  or  scraper.  DO 
NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other me-
tal tool to scrape stainless steel. DO NOT permit 
citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless ste-
el surface, as citric acid will permanently discolor 
stainless steel.
Cleaning painted surfaces
Clean with a soft cloth, warm water and non-abra-
sive dishwashing liquid.  Whilst  still  damp, polish 
dry with a clean soft cloth.
Cleaning glass surfaces
Clean  with  cleaning  detergent  and  warm  water. 
Glass cleaner can be used to remove fi ngerprints. 
If using glass cleaner containing ammonia, make 
sure that it does not drip on exterior door surface.
Cleaning the broiler pan 
Clean with detergent and hot water. For stubborn 
spots, use a soap-fi lled steel wool pad.
The porcelain enamel fi nish is acid resistant, but 
not  acid  proof.  Acidic  foods,  such  as  citrus  jui-
ces, tomatoes, rhubarb, vinegar, alcohol or milk, 
should be wiped up and not allowed to bake onto 
the porcelain during the next use.
Cleaning the induction cooktop  
Allow the glass to cool down until the residual heat 
indicator is off before cleaning. Never use scouring 
powders or paste, metal scourers, oven cleaners 
or any abrasive cleaning products on the hotplate. 
Clean spillovers before using the cooktop again. 
For  light  cleaning,  wipe  with  a  soft  cloth,  warm 
water and dishwashing liquid. For a streak free fi -
nish, polish dry with an microfi bre cloth. For more 
stubborn marks and to condition the surface, use 
a  good  quality  cooktop  cleaner/conditioner,  fol-
lowing the manufacturer’s instructions. For spilla-
ges with high sugar content such as jam, or the 
accidental  melting  of  plastic  or  alloy  materials, 
turn off the heating zone and remove the spillage 
immediately. 
Use  caution  because  the  heating  area  maybe 
very hot. 
Cleaning the oven cavity 
 • Always  allow  the  oven  interior  to  cool  before 
cleaning. 
 • Do not allow vinegar, wine, coff ee, milk, salt wa-
ter or fruit juices to remain in contact with ena-
melled surfaces for prolonged periods as they 
may stain or discolour the surface. 
 • Never use sharp utensils to remove stains as 
this could scratch the surface. 
 • Never use steam cleaners on the oven interiors 
as steam may damage electronic parts. 
 • For light cleaning, wipe with a soft cloth, using 
warm  water  and  washing  up  liquid.  For  hea-
vier residues, use a cream cleaner and a nylon 
scourer. 
 • Oven cleaning products can be used according 
to the manufacturer’s directions but care should 
be taken that they do not come in contact with 
any  stainless  steel,  chrome,  painted  or  alloy 
parts  of  the  range  or  the  door  seals  and  ele-
ments.
Cleaning oven racks and supports
Clean  with  detergent  and  hot  water.  Stubborn 
spots can be scoured with a soap-fi lled steel wool 
pad.
