Care and Cleaning
Oven and Grill
Only use oven cleaners which carry the Vitreous Enamel Development Council's
Approvals symbol, and always follow the manufacturers instructions for use.
To remove the oven roof, simply slide it forward out of the cooker. Remember
never to operate the oven without its roof in position.
Pan Supports and Burner
As for enamel cleaning.
Caps / Burner Bodies
NOTE:
Care must be taken to prevent cleaning materials, water or dirt, from
entering and blocking the burner cap ports or the burner body, especially the gas
way and air hole. Remove any blockage with a nylon brush.
Belling Cookclean Panels
Both ovens have side runners that are coated with a special enamel which will
absorb and gradually vaporize any splashes which occur during cooking. This
surface coating, which can be recognised by its matt finish, may be damaged by
using aerosol oven cleaners, oven pads, detergents or scouring powders and
their use is not recommended.
Any particularly heavy soiling or splashing may indicate the cooking temperature
has been high, or that excess fat or water has been used when roasting. It can
be removed by 'blotting' the surface with a paper towel or soft sponge, or by
running the oven empty at mark 8 for about 30 minutes.
Warning!
Under these conditions the surfaces may become hotter than usual
and children should be kept away.
Whilst normal cleaning can be carried out with these panels in place, they can be
removed for cleaning manually, or for cleaning the rest of the oven interior. First,
remove the oven shelves. The side runners can then be removed from the ovens
by unscrewing the two screws on each panel, and then lifting them out.
To clean these Cookclean panels by hand, scrub them with a nylon pad or brush,
using cold water and a little gentle detergent (although this may cause some
discoloration). Rinse in cold water and blot them dry with a paper towel or
sponge. Do not rub the surface too dry as this can damage the Cookclean finish.
After cleaning, replace the panels immediately and run both the ovens at
maximum setting for about 30 minutes to prevent deterioration of the enamel.
Do not clean them in a dishwasher.
