MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
The oven should be kept clean at all
times. A build-up of fats or other
foodstuffs could result in a fire.
Before cleaning, ensure all control
knobs are in the OFF position, and the
appliance has cooled completely.
Before any maintenance or cleaning
can be carried out, you must
DISCONNECT the cooker from the
electricity supply.
Cleaning materials
Before using any cleaning materials on your
oven, check that they are suitable and that the
manufacturer recommends their use.
Cleaners that contain bleach should
NOT be used as they may dull the
surface finishes. A steam cleaner is not
to be used. 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 washing up liquid has
been added.
To prevent damaging or weakening the
door glass panels avoid the use of the
following:
• Household detergent 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
Oven Cavity
The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst
the oven is still warm.
Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in
warm soapy water after each use. From time to
time it will be necessary to do a more thorough
cleaning, using a proprietary oven cleaner.
Oven Door Glass
The internal oven door glass can be removed for
cleaning. For this purpose remove the 2 fixing
screws. 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, or Bar
Keepers Friend be used.
Always support the door while removing the
glass panel as the door may spring closed due to
its lighter weight.
Removing oven door from its hinges
To make it easier to clean the oven, the oven door
can be removed.
Open the oven door into the horizontal position.
Then lift up the clips on the two door hinges as far
as they will go (a).
Slowly close the door again as far as the stop and
lift the door until the hinges come out (b).
Replacing the oven door on its hinges
When putting the door back on its hinges, reverse
the procedure for removing the door from its
hinges. Re-insert the door’s hinges into the slots
(c). When you do this, make sure the hinges
engage properly and evenly.
Then slowly lower the door downwards. When
you do this, make sure the corners of the door do
not touch the bottom of the frame (if this happens,
lift the door up again and realign the hinges).
Finally fold the clips back down towards the oven
(d). So that the door closes properly, press down
on the clips with something (e.g.a screwdriver)
(e). Slowly check the correct operation of the door.
Important: Never leave the door hinge levers
standing up. Otherwise the spring action can lead
to injury.
