CARE AND CLEANING
DOS DON’TS
y Read these cleaning instructions and the
‘Safety and warnings’ section before you
start cleaning your range.
y Before cleaning or removing any part,
make sure that everything on the range
has been turned off.
y Unless suggested otherwise in the chart
following, allow any part to cool to a safe
temperature before cleaning. If you do
need to handle a warm or hot part, take
extreme care. Wear long protective mitts
to avoid burns from steam or hot surfaces.
y Try using any cleaner on a small area first,
to ensure it doesn’t stain.
y See the pages following this chart for
instructions on removing and replacing
different parts of the range for cleaning or
maintenance.
y To help you identify any parts, see
illustrations in section ‘Introduction’ and
after this cleaning chart.
y Ensure the anti-tip device is re-engaged if
you move the range for cleaning. Failure
to do this may result in the oven tipping,
and adults and children may be killed.
y To prevent soiling from becoming ‘baked
on’ and stubborn, we recommend
removing any easy-to-reach spills, food or
grease stains from the oven cavity enamel
after each use.
y Always clean the inner glass pane before
starting a Self Clean cycle. Failure to do
this will mean that residue will bake on
and be impossible to remove.
y Always remove oven shelves before
starting a Self Clean cycle.
y Do not use aerosol cleaners until
the range has completely cooled.
The propellant substance in these
cleaners could catch fire in the
presence of heat.
y Do not let soiling or grease
accumulate anywhere in or on the
range. This will make future cleaning
more difficult and may present a fire
hazard.
y Do not use any abrasive or harsh
cleaners, cloths, scouring pads or
steel wool. These will scratch your
range and damage its appearance.
y Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
any part of the range.
y Do not perform any cleaning
or maintenance on parts not
specifically named in the chart
below. If in doubt, contact Customer
Care.
y Only an authorized service
technician can take apart the door.
y Do not attempt to take the door
apart for cleaning. If the inner panes
of glass in the door become dirty,
please contact your Authorized
Repairer or Customer Care.
