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-toreach 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 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.

Control Panel

Take particular care when cleaning the control panel glass. Only use a damp cloth with detergent.

Do not use any oven cleaners, harsh or abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool or sharp metal scrapers on the glass. These may scratch and damage the surface.

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 door frame and plastic corner clips

• 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.
• To make wiping out the oven easier you may remove the oven door. See the following pages for instructions.

• 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

Grill Pan

Wire oven shelves

• 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..
• These parts are also dishwasher safe.

Oven door glass

After every use

• Use a soft cloth and a mixture of warm water and dishwashing liquid to remove light soiling after every use.
• For stubborn stains, try using a mixture of baking soda and warm water with a non-abrasive scrubbing pad, then wipe dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

• Do not use oven cleaners or any other harsh/abrasive cleaners, cloths, scouring pads, steel wool or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass. These scratch the glass, which in turn could result in the glass cracking and shattering.
• Do not allow grease to build up on the glass or become baked on as this reduces visibility into the oven.
