- Energy Saving Tips: Use lids on saucepans, place pans centrally over burners, avoid flames licking up pan sides, fill kettles/pans with only needed liquid, turn down gas once contents boil, and use a pressure cooker where possible.

Maintenance Features:
General Cleaning:
- Safety First: Always turn off the cooker at the main wall switch and allow it to cool before cleaning.
- Glass Lid: Clean with a cloth wrung out in soapy water. Stubborn stains can be removed with cream/paste/liquid cleaner or fine steel wool pads. Polish with a dry cloth.
- Glass Lid (Painted Trims): Clean with a cloth wrung out in hot soapy water only. Polish with a dry cloth. DO NOT USE ABRASIVES.
- Burners: Remove pan supports and top burner plate. Wash with soapy water and rinse. Gas burner caps and pan supports can be washed with soapy water (not in a dishwasher). Use a metal surface cleaner for stubborn dirt on burner heads.
- Vitreous Enamel Hob Surround: Clean with a cloth wrung out in soapy water. Stubborn stains can be removed with cream/paste/liquid cleaner or fine steel wool pads.
- Control Panel: Wipe with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth. Do not use oven cleaners, aerosols, scouring pads, or abrasive powder on plastic knobs.
- Oven & Grill Compartments: Remove grill/meat pan and grid immediately after use for washing. Wipe oven/grill compartment with a fine soap impregnated steel wool pad (avoid harsh abrasives). Remove rod shelf for washing. Take care not to damage thermostat phial during cleaning.
- Doors and Handles: Wipe with a cloth wrung out in hot soapy water, rinse with clear water, and dry with a soft clean cloth. Do not use scouring pads or abrasive powder. Take care not to damage or distort the Door Seal. Only use oven cleaners with the Vitreous Enamel Development Council's Approvals symbol.
'Cookclean' Oven Liners (If fitted):
- Function: Treated surfaces absorb cooking soils at 220°C (Gas Mk 6) or above, slowly destroying them. Normal cooking often cleans them. For heavy soiling or if higher temperatures are not used regularly, run the oven at 230°C (Gas Mk 9) for a couple of hours (monthly or every two/three months).
- Cleaning: Normally not necessary to clean with water. If desired, remove rod shelf and side panels, wash in warm soapy water, rinse in clear water. Do not use enzyme/biological washing powder, harsh abrasives, or oven chemical cleaners. Do not rub dry. Replace panels immediately and run the oven at maximum setting for 30 minutes to prevent enamel deterioration.
Replacing the Oven Lamp (G756 & 758 Only):
- Procedure: Switch off cooker at mains. Remove oven shelves. Unscrew and remove lamp cover glass. Unscrew the old lamp and replace with a new 25W ~ 230V SES (300°C) lamp. Replace lamp cover glass before switching on. Note: The oven lamp is not covered by the guarantee.
