Use and Care

17
Burn hazard
Make sure the heating elements are turned off
and allowed to cool completely before any clea-
ning and/or maintenance operation.
Things to avoid:
• Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the range:
the steam could reach electrical components
and cause a short.
• Do not spray liquids such as cleaning agents
into the openings on the bottom and top of the
ovencavity.
• All surfaces can discolor or be damaged if
unsuitable cleaning agents are used. The front
of the oven, in particular, will be damaged by
oven cleaners and descalers. All surfaces are
susceptible to scratching. Scratches on glass
surfaces may cause a breakage. Immediately
remove any residues by using suitable
cleaning products.
• The heating elements in the oven do not
require cleaning. The elements burn off any
residue when the oven is in use.
Cleaning stainless steel
All stainless steel parts should be wiped with hot
water and soap solution at the end of each cycle.
Wipe up spills and boilovers immediately. Use su-
itable, non-abrasive stainless cleaning products
when water and soap solution will not do the job.
DO NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths, clean-
sers, or powders. If necessary, scrape stainless
steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the
area with hot towels to soften the residue, then
use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper. DO
NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal
tool to scrape stainless steel. The following liquids
commonly used in the kitchens can be corrosive
and damaging to stainless steel:
• lemony/orange juoce ( citric acid)
• tomato juice
• sugary liquids/syrup
• salt water
• winegar
Cleaning glass surfaces
Clean with cleaning detergent and warm water.
Glass cleaner can be used to remove fi ngerprints.
If using glass cleaner containing ammonia, make
sure that it does not drip on exterior door surface.
Cleaning the oven cavity
• Always allow the oven interior to cool before
cleaning.
• Do not allow vinegar, wine, coff ee, milk, salt
water or fruit juices to remain in contact with
enamelled surfaces for prolonged periods as
they may stain or discolour the surface.
• Never use sharp utensils to remove stains as
this could scratch the surface.
• Never use steam cleaners on the oven interiors
as steam may damage electronic parts.
• For light cleaning, wipe with a soft cloth,
using warm water and washing up liquid. For
heavier residues, use a cream cleaner and a
nylon scourer.
• Oven cleaning products can be used
according to the manufacturer’s directions but
care should be taken that they do not come
in contact with any stainless steel, chrome,
painted or alloy parts of the range or the door
seals and elements.
Cleaning oven racks and supports
Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn
spots can be scoured with a soap-fi lled steel wool
pad.
