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 (where available). Failure to do this will mean that residue will bake on and be impossible to remove.
• Always remove oven shelves and side racks and nuts before starting a Self Clean cycle (where available).

• 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 on catalytic panels or 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.

Glass surfaces

(oven door panes, control panel)

Door comprises a total of 3 glass panes

• To clean glass pane B, you will first need to remove the door and the inner pane. For instructions, see section ‘Removing and replacing the door glass panes for cleaning’.

1. Clean with a solution of soap and hot water. We recommend using a soap containing potassium hydroxide. Wearing gloves, dampen the soap bar and smear the soapy mixture on the door glass. Leave for 15 minutes then rinse with clean water and wipe dry.
2. Wipe with a glass cleaner and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

• Don’t use oven cleaners or any other harsh/ abrasive cleaners, cloths, scouring pads, steel wool or sharp metal scrapers to clean the glass surfaces. These scratch the glass and may damage its special coating, which in turn could result in the glass cracking or shattering.
• Even if you only clean the inner pane (C), remove the door and the pane first. Cleaning the glass with the pane in the door may result in cleaning liquid running down the gaps and drying onto internal components.
• Take particular care when cleaning the control panel glass. Only use a damp cloth with detergent.

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.

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

Catalytic panels

To clean light soiling off the surfaces:

1. Wipe with a damp cloth and a solution of hot water and mild detergent or an ammonia-based cleaner.
2. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

• To clean stubborn, ‘baked on’ soiling, run the oven on Fan Grill at 200°C for 1.5 hours to enhance the catalytic panel cleaning function.

• These panels are normally ‘self-cleaning’ because their special enamel breaks down greasy splatters when the oven is used for ‘non-greasy’ baking, especially at high temperatures.
• Do not use oven cleaner on the catalytic panels. If you wish to use oven cleaner on any other part of the enamelled cavity, first remove the catalytic panels.
• Do not immerse catalytic panels in water.
• Never use scourers, brushes, abrasives or cleaners with acid or alkali content on the catalytic panels.

Oven cavity

(models without ‘Selfclean’ function only)

• Remove everything from the oven: all shelves and trays, the side racks (including fixing nuts) and catalytic panels.

1. Remove the oven door (see instructions on following pages).
2. Wipe the inside of the oven using a household detergents or an ammonia-based cleaner.
3. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to dry completely

• 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.
• To make wiping out the oven easier you may remove and the oven door. See the following pages for instructions.
• To make cleaning the oven ceiling easier, the grill element can be lowered. See following pages for instructions.

• To clean light soiling off the enamelled surfaces:

1. Wipe with a damp cloth and a solution of hot water and mild detergent or an ammonia-based cleaner.
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 and fixing nuts before a Self Clean cycle
• To make wiping out the oven easier you may remove the oven door. See the following pages for instructions.
