St George WEOM7 A - Routine Cleaning Procedures

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
8.3 Routine
Cleaning the oven Exterior:-
Wipe the control panel, handles, glass, stainless
steel and enamel surfaces regularly with a warm damp
cloth.
Mild detergents (but n~ot abrasives) may be safely
used on all these surfaces.
DO NOT USE ANY CAUSTIC CLEANSERS
OR ABRASIVE POWDERS OR SCOURERS ON THE
EXTERIOR OF
THE APPLIANCE.
If any sharp, scouring or caustic
cleaning agent should get on enamelled or plastic surfaces (control
panel) rinse
off immediately with water, otherwise
dull spots may develop and/or the paint may lift.
Cleaning Stainless Steel: as with high quality materials, abrasive
cleaning agents must be avoided, and only
mild detergent and/or mild cleansers may be used.
After cleaning, the stainless steel should be thoroughly rinsed,
and wiped
dry with a soft cloth. Do not use steel soap pads of any
kind - the steel pads drop metal fibres
onto the
Stainless Steel and with prolonged use, the fibres will turn rusty,
causing the appliance to have a rusty!
dull appearance. Various manufacturers Stainless Steel
cleansers may be used - St George recommend 3M
Stainless
Steel Cleanser for that extra polish.
Cleaning the Oven Interior:-
DO NOT USE ALUMINIUM FOIL OR DISHES WITH REFLECTIVE
QUALITIES in base of oven to collect spills.
Used in
this way the foil reflects heat downwards causing serious damage to the base of the
oven.
1 . Ensure all controls are in the OFF position before
cleaning.
2. Do not use abrasive powders unless absolutely necessary.
3. Wipe
out the oven and grill compartment with warm damp cloth,
while the oven is still slightly warm. Do
not forget the top
and back of the oven and the inside of the oven door.
4. Wipe up spills promptly
- especially fruit juice, vinegars etc. because of their
acidic qualities.
5. Oven shelves - soak in warm water
with detergent and clean with soapy steel wool or oven cleaner.
