Care and Cleaning
Ceramic hobTo reduce the amount of cleaning always ensure that the hob and cooking utensils are clean and
dry before use. Regular use of cleaner conditioner is recommended for proper care and protection
of the hob surface. Apply conditioner before using the hob for the first time. It contains a mild
cleaning agent, so that subsequent applications may clean off soil and apply a protective film at the
same time. For stubborn stains or heavy soiling use any of the following materials, and finish off
with conditioner.
1. Cif, non-scratch scouring cream.
2. Liquid Gumption Kitchen Cleanser.
3. Special Powder Cleanser.
Powder Cleanser – Mineral deposits that are present in hard water, and some foods, may cause
‘discolourations’ that appear in the form of grey or brown stains. The stains sometimes appear to
be in or under the glass surface. If there are some persistent stains after using any of the other
recommended cleaning materials, powder cleanser may be applied, following the manufacturers
instructions. Do not use abrasive cleaners or the powder cleanser on the painted metal framework.
Cleaner Conditioner – Regular use of the conditioner will make the surface easier to clean thus
ensuring that years of heavy abrasive cleaning do not progressively dull the surface.
GrillRemove the grill pan and the wire grid food support, it is best to wash these items immediately
after use to prevent stains from being burnt on when used again. Wipe out the Grill compartment,
use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the grill runners and the floor of the
compartment. Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.
Control PanelDo not use cream cleaners, oven cleaners or aerosols, scouring pads or abrasive powder for
cleaning the plastic knobs as damage will occur.
Decorative TrimsIt is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to prevent any build up of soiling. The
recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over the trims with a soft cloth wrung out in warm
water or mild non-abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner on a small area of trim which is not
noticeable in normal use). Then, after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft
clean cloth.
DoorsWipe over the outer door glass panels with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water, then after
wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth. Ensure that glass doors
are not subjected to any sharp mechanical blows.
Glass Inner Door Panel (where fitted) – open the door fully and unscrew the two screws securing
the glass panel, taking care not to allow the glass to fall. The glass panel may now be washed at
the sink. Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool soap pad. Ensure the glass
panel is not subjected to any sharp mechanical blows. Take particular care not to damage the
inner surface which is coated with a heat reflective layer. After cleaning, rinse and dry with a soft
cloth. For slight soiling the inner glass panel may be cleaned, while still warm, without removing it
from the door.
Warning: Oven must not be operated with inner door glass removed.
Take care during cleaning not to damage or distort the door seals. Do not lift the door seal from
the oven chassis, if necessary remove the seal by carefully unhooking the corner clips.
Take care that the rating label edges are not lifted during cleaning, and furthermore that the
lettering is not blurred or removed.
OvensRemove the rod shelves and grill pan. Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains
from the rod shelves, grill pan and the floor of the oven.
Oven Shelf
SupportsThe shelf supports are removable and dishwasher safe.
To remove hold the support at the front and pull away from the oven side, this can then be cleaned
in a sink or a dishwasher. When removed it allows access to the oven side, which can be cleaned
with warm soapy water.
To refit the support, insert the longer leg into the rear fixing hole and push in the front leg.
Oven Lamp
ReplacementOpen the oven door and remove the rod shelves. Using a suitable cloth to protect the fingers grip
the light glass dome, unscrew anti-clockwise and lift. Reach into the aperture with fingers, and
unscrew the lamp anticlockwise. Fit replacement lamp (25W 300°C rated SES), refit dome.
WARNING: To avoid electric shocks - please ensure that the electricity supply to the
appliance is switched off and the appliance is fully cold, before removing the lamp lens.
