Dismantling the oven door
If condensate has worked its way in
between the glass panes, the door can
be dismantled in order to clean in
between the panes.
Clean the glass panes in the same
way as you would clean the
appliance front.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard
sponges, brushes or sharp metal
tools to clean glass as these can
scratch the surface. Scratches can
cause the glass to break.
Do not use an oven spray. This will
damage the surface of the
aluminium surrounds.
Ensure that the glass panels are
inserted the correct way round after
cleaning, as each side of the pane
has a different coating. Those
facing the oven interior reflect the
heat.
To avoid the risk of breakage, it is
advisable to place the panes on a
table protected by a soft cloth (e.g.
a towel).
You need to remove the door before
it can be dismantled.
^
Place the door on a protective
surface (e.g. on a table cloth) to
prevent it getting scratched. The
door handle should line up with the
edge of the table. Make sure the
glass lies flat and does not get
broken during cleaning.
The oven door is made up of four panes
of glass.
Spacers are located adjacent to the
hinge guides. These hold each glass
pane in position.
^
Push both spacers towards the
middle of the door and remove them.
If you find that the spacers are
difficult to remove, briefly stand the
door upright with the spacers at the
top. After the door has been returned
to the horizontal position, the spacers
should be easier to remove.
