CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
In the interests of both safety and hygiene your Belling gas cooker needs to be kept
clean. A build-up of grease or fat from cooking could cause a fire hazard.
WARNING!
For your own safety, always switch off your cooker at the mains supply
and allow to cool before cleaning.
Never use excessive amounts of water to clean your cooker, and remember that
your cooker is heavy – take care when pulling it out for access.
COOKER EXTERIOR
All the parts of the cooker exterior must be cleaned frequently with a mild detergent
and a little water and then dried with a soft cloth.
The pan supports and burner caps can be cleaned with warm soapy water. The
aluminium burner caps can also be cleaned in this way
.
Use a nylon brush to
remove any cleaning materials, water or dirt from the burner ports. Do not wash the
parts if they are still hot and never use abrasive powders, pads or corrosive spray
products.
COOKER INTERIOR
The oven should be cleaned after each use to remove cooking residuals and
grease which, if burnt on when the oven is used again, will form deposits or stains,
as well as unpleasant smells.
Do not leave vinegar, coffee, milk, salty water or the juice of lemon or tomato on
enamelled surfaces for any length of time. Always wash the accessories used.
The rod shelf and food support grid can be cleaned using household cream
cleanser with a nylon pad or sponge. Heavier soiling may require the use of a
proprietary oven cleaner or steel wool pad, but do not allow these to contact the
door seals or plastic parts of the cooker.
Only use oven cleaners which carry the Vitreous Enamel Development Council's
Approvals symbol, and always follow the manufacturers instructions for use.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damages caused by incorrect
cleaning. Belling Oven Cleaner is available from our spares department on 01709
579907 quoting part number BELLING030.
