CLEANING & CARING FOR YOUR COOKER General z Always switch OFF at the mains before cleaning. z When cleaning use as little water as possible. z Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this cooker. z If milk or fruit juice or anything containing acid is spilt on the cooker, wipe it up immediately. z Clean off any condensation streaks on the front plate around the oven doors or the vitreous enamel may be permanently discoloured.
CLEANING & CARING FOR YOUR COOKER COOKER PART AND FINISH CLEANING METHOD Vitreous Enamel Clean with a damp cloth and hot soapy water. Stubborn stains can be removed with mild cream, paste or liquid cleaners, or by gently rubbing with a well moistened, liberally soaped very fine steel wool pads e.g. Brillo. The roasting tin and baking tray may OCCASIONALLY be cleaned in a dishwasher. DO NOT IMMERSE DOORS IN WATER AS THEY ARE PACKED WITH INSULATING MATERIAL.
COOKER PART AND FINISH CLEANING METHOD Heat-Clean Enamel This special enamel has a continuous cleaning action, which works best if a pattern of low and high temperature cooking is followed. By using low temperature roasting, excessive fat splashes can be avoided. Should any excessive staining occur, immediately clean the area with hot water containing detergent, and a nylon washingup brush. Resistant stains require the oven to be run at 210ºC for 2 hours.
