Care & Cleaning

• Before any manual cleaning or maintenance, first wait for the oven to cool down to a safe temperature to touch, then turn its power supply off at the wall.
• Read these cleaning instructions and the ‘Safety and warnings’ section before you start cleaning your oven.
• To prevent soiling from becoming ‘baked on’ and stubborn, we recommend removing any easy-to-reach spills, food or grease stains from the oven cavity enamel after each use.
• Always clean the inner glass pane before starting a Self Clean cycle.
• Always remove oven shelves and side racks before starting a Self Clean cycle.

• Never use a steam cleaner.
• Never store flammable substances in the oven.
• Never use abrasive or harsh cleaners, cloths, scouring pads or steel wool. Some nylon scourers may also scratch. Check the label first.
• Never use oven cleaner in a pyrolytic oven. Never leave alkaline (salty spills) or acidic substances (such as lemon juice or vinegar) on the oven surfaces.
• Never use cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.
• Never spray detergent or liquid onto the buttons on the control panel. Liquid may seep behind the button and damage the electronics.

Dials

Clean with a solution of mild detergent and hot water, then wipe dry.

• Do not use stainless steel or oven cleaner on the dials, as doing so may damage their coating.

Stainless steel strip/handle on the front of the oven door

• Clean with a solution of mild detergent and hot water, then wipe dry with a microfibre cloth.
• If necessary, use a suitable stainless steel cleaner and polish.

• Always read the label to make sure that your stainless steel cleaner does not contain chlorine compounds as these are corrosive and may damage the appearance of your oven.
• Always rub the stainless steel in the direction of the grain.

Oven cavity

To clean light soiling off the enamelled surfaces:

1. Wipe with a damp cloth and a solution of hot water and mild detergent.
2. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

• To clean stubborn, ‘baked on’ soiling or the whole oven cavity: use the Self Clean function. See ‘Using the Self Clean function’ for instructions.

• To prevent soiling from becoming ‘baked on’ and stubborn, we recommend removing any easy -to-reach spills, food or grease stains from the enamelled surfaces after each use. Doing so will reduce the need for using the Self Clean function frequently.
• Always remove the side racks before a Self Clean cycle.

Telescopic sliding shelf supports

Wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not wipe off or wash away the white lubricating grease (visible when the slides are extended).

• Do not wash these in the dishwasher, immerse in soapy water, use oven cleaner on them or leave in the oven during a Self Clean cycle as doing so will remove the white lubricating grease and prevent the slides from running smoothly.

Meat probe

Clean with a solution of mild detergent and hot water, then wipe dry with a microfiber cloth.

• Clean after every use to avoid contamination.
• Do not wash in the dishwasher, immerse in soapy water, use oven cleaner or leave in the oven during a Self Clean cycle.

Grill rack Pan & Grid Side racks Baking tray

• Clean with a solution of mild detergent and hot water.
• Pre-soak stubborn burnt-on stains in a solution of dishwasher powder and hot water.
• Except for the baking tray, these parts are also dishwasher safe.

• Never leave any of these parts in the oven during a Self Clean cycle. They will become discoloured or damaged.

Oven seal

Do not clean this part.

• Do not rub, damage or remove the seal as it is important for ensuring your oven runs efficiently.

Oven vent louvres

Wipe with a damp cloth.

• Take care not to let any liquid run down the louvres of the oven vent.

Oven door glass

Use a mild solution of detergent and warm water; use a glass cleaner to remove smears.

• Do not use sharp metal scrapers or scourers on the glass as it may scratch the surface and cause the glass to shatter
