Cleaning the Oven
Before cleaning always allow the cooling fan
to cool the oven down before switching off
at the electricity supply.
This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam
or with a steam cleaning machine.
The oven should be kept clean at all times. A
build-up of fats or other foodstuffs could result
in a fire, especially in the grill pan.
Cleaning materials
Before using any cleaning materials on your oven, check
that they are suitable and that their use is recommended
by the manufacturer. Cleaners that contain bleach should
NOT be used as they may dull the surface finishes. 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
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 is used. Do not use paint scrapers to remove
soilage.
DO NOT clean the oven door while the glass
panels are warm. If this precaution is not
observed the glass panel may shatter.
If the door glass panel becomes chipped or
has deep scratches, the glass will be weakened
and must be replaced to prevent the possibility
of the panel shattering. Contact your local
Service Force Centre who will be pleased to
advise further.
