Oven interior and inside of the
door
The oven interior and the inside of
the door are hot after use.
Danger of burning.
Wait until the interior, inside of the
door and the door seal have cooled
down before cleaning them. Clean
the oven at regular intervals,
perferably after each use. Waiting
too long can make cleaning
unnecessarily difficult and in some
cases impossible.
In certain circumstances, very heavy
soiling can even damage the
appliance.
Check the oven interior, door and door
seal at regular intervals for any sign of
damage.
If any damage is noticed, the oven
should not be used again in
microwave mode until the fault has
been rectified by a service
technician.
The oven interior is stainless steel. The
high temperatures possible when
operating in a traditional oven mode
can cause the steel to darken slightly.
Clean the oven interior, inside of the
door and door seal using warm water
with a little washing-up liquid applied
with a soft spong or cloth. Wipe dry
with a soft cloth.
For more heavy soiling, heat a glass of
water for 2 to 3 minutes until the water
begins to boil. The steam will collect on
the walls and soften the soiling. The
oven interior can now be wiped clean
using a little washing-up liquid if
necessary.
If food has burnt on, use a mild
non-abrasive cleaner or a proprietary
cleaner for stainless steel, applied with
a non-scouring kitchen sponge.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents
as the material is susceptible to
scratching.
Do not use sharp metal tools to
clean glass as these can scratch the
surface.
If using an oven spray, the
manufacturer's instructions must be
followed. Do not spray into any of
the openings.
Do not use too much water on the cloth
or sponge and do not let water or any
other substance find its way into any
openings.
To neutralise odours in the oven, put a
cup of water with some lemon juice in
the oven and simmer for a few minutes.
Residues of fruit juices as well as cake
mixtures are best removed while the
oven is warm.
Spilt fruit juices may cause lasting
discolouration to the surfaces.
