Cleaning and care
61
If soiling is left on for any length of
time, it may become impossible to
remove. Continued use without
regular cleaning will make the oven
much harder to clean. Failure to
maintain the oven in a clean
condition could lead to deterioration
of the surfaces that could adversely
affect the life of the appliance and
result in a hazardous situation.
Remove any soiling immediately.
The accessories are not dishwasher-
safe.
Useful tip: Soiling caused by spilled
fruit juices and cake mixtures is best
removed while the oven is still warm.
Exercise caution and make sure the
oven is not too hot.
To make it easier to clean the oven:
Remove the door.
You can remove the shelf runners
together with the FlexiClip telescopic
runners (if present).
Remove the catalytic enamelled back
panel.
Removing normal soiling
Removing normal soiling
It is best to remove normal soiling
immediately using a clean sponge
and a solution of hot water and
washing-up liquid, or a clean, damp
microfibre cloth.
Remove any residual cleaning agent
thoroughly with clean water.
This is particularly important for any
parts with a PerfectClean finish, as
cleaning agent residues will impair
the non-stick properties.
After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry
using a soft cloth.
Cleaning the seal
There is a seal around the oven interior
to seal it off from the inside of the door.
Grease deposits on the seal can
cause it to become brittle and
cracked.
It is advisable to wipe the seal clean
after each use.
Removing stubborn soiling
(excluding the FlexiClip
telescopic runners)
Spilled fruit and roasting juices may
cause lasting discolouration or matt
patches on surfaces. This
discolouration will not affect the
functional characteristics of the
surface finish.
Do not attempt to remove these
marks. Clean them following the
instructions given here.
Baked-on deposits can be removed
with a glass scraper or with a
stainless steel spiral pad, hot water
and washing-up liquid.
Exposure to scouring agents,
abrasive brushes or sponges and
oven sprays can cause catalytic
enamel to lose its self-cleaning
properties.
Remove the catalytic enamelled
panels before using an oven cleaner.
