Before cleaning your oven or performing maintenance, make sure that the oven is turned o. To
extend the life of your oven, it must be cleaned frequently. The enamelled or stainless steel parts
should be washed with lukewarm water without using any abrasive powders or corrosive
substances. If any stainless steel has dicult to remove stains, use cleaners specifically
recommended to clean stainless steel. After cleaning any surface, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly
and dry. The inside of the oven should preferably be cleaned immediately after use, when it is still
warm (but not hot), with warm water and soap. The soap should be rinsed away and the interior
dried thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive detergents, scourers acidic cleaners such as lime scale
remover, etc. as these could damage the enamel. If stains are particularly tough to remove, use
cleaners specifically recommended to clean ovens and follow the instructions provided with the
cleaner. Never use a steam cleaner or caustic oven cleaners for cleaning inside the oven.
If you operate your oven for an extended period of time, or if you are cooking dishes that contain
a lot of water, condensation may form on the oven door. Dry it using a soft cloth and try reducing
the cooking temperature. There is a seal surrounding the oven opening which is necessary to
ensure the correct operation of the oven. Check the condition of this seal on a regular basis.
If necessary, clean it but avoid using abrasive products or objects to do so. Should it become
damaged, please contact Glen Dimplex Service Department. We recommend you avoid using
the oven until it has been repaired.
Never place anything (including foil and oven trays) on the bottom of the oven when it is in
operation because this could damage the enamel.
Clean the glass door using non-abrasive products or sponges and dry it with a soft cloth.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass
since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
Use only non caustic oven cleaners purchased from hardware stores or supermarkets.
