CARE AND CLEANING
ALWAYS NEVER
• Read these instructions and the 'Safety and warnings'
section before you start cleaning your range.
• Before cleaning or removing any part, make sure that
everything on the range has been turned off.
• 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.
• Try using any cleaner on a small area first, to ensure it
doesn’t stain.
• See the pages following this chart for instructions on
removing and replacing different parts of the range
for cleaning or maintenance.
• 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 which may cause death.
• Use aerosol cleaners until the range
has completely cooled. The propellant
substance in these cleaners could catch
fire in the presence of heat.
• Let soiling or grease accumulate
anywhere in or on the range. This will
make future cleaning more difficult and
may present a fire hazard.
• Use any abrasive or harsh cleaners,
cloths, scouring pads or steel wool. These
will scratch your range and damage its
appearance.
• Use a steam cleaner to clean any part of
the range.
• Lift the black grill and griddle frames off
the cooktop.

• Soften any stubborn stains
using a hot soapy cloth before
cleaning with a solution of mild
detergent and hot water. Wipe
dry with a microfiber cloth.
• For extra shine, use a suitable
stainless steel cleaner and
polish, following manufacturer’s
instructions. Always rub the
stainless steel in the direction of
the polish lines.
• Always read the label to ensure
your stainless steel cleaner does
not contain chlorine compounds
as these are corrosive and may
damage the appearance of
your cooktop.
• Do not use stainless steel cleaner
on the dials, oven handles, or the
toe kick. These are not stainless
steel parts and their surface may be
damaged by stainless steel cleaner.
• When cleaning the back trim and
the top of the oven door, ensure
liquid does not run down the vents.

• Wipe with a damp cloth using a
solution of mild detergent and
hot water then dry thoroughly
with microfiber cloth.
• If desired, the dials can be
removed for cleaning. Before
removing, ensure that dial is set
to OFF. Remove only one dial
at a time ensuring that you refit
completely and correctly.
• Do not use stainless steel cleaner
on these parts, as doing so may
damage their coating.
• The dials are not interchangeable:
if removed for cleaning, do so one
at a time. This is to ensure that they
are replaced correctly.
