Control Panel and Doors
Avoid using any abrasive cleaners, including cream cleaners.
For best results, use a liquid detergent.
The same cleaner can also be used on the doors. Alternatively,
use a soft cloth wrung out in clean hot soapy water. You can
use the same method for cleaning the control panel and
knobs. After cleaning, polish with a dry cloth.
Glass Fronted Door Panels
(some models)
The oven door front panels can be taken off so that the glass
panels can be cleaned. Move the cooker forward to gain
access to the sides (see the
‘Moving the Cooker’
section under
‘Installation’
).
Open the oven door slightly and remove the front panel
fixing screws from the door sides, two each side
(Fig.5-7)
.
Carefully lift off the outer door panel. The inside face of the
glass panels can now be cleaned – take care not to disturb or
wet the door insulation.
Note:
If the door is triple glazed then the inner two panels are
fixed together and should not be separated. After cleaning,
carefully refit the outer door panel and replace the side fixing
screws.

DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal
scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can
scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of
the glass.
Ovens
'Cook & Clean' Panels
The ovens have side ‘Cook & Clean’ panels which have been
coated with a special enamel that partly cleans itself. This
does not stop all marks on the lining, but helps to reduce the
amount of manual cleaning needed.
These panels work better above 200 °C. If you do most of your
cooking below this temperature, occasionally remove the
panels and wipe with a lint free cloth and hot soapy water.
The panels should then be dried and replaced and the oven
heated at 200 °C for about one hour. This will make sure that
the panels are working effectively.
Removing the Panels to Clean the Enamel
Interior
Some of the lining panels can be removed for cleaning.
If you wish to clean the enamel interior of the oven, you
will need to remove the shelves before removing the ‘Cook
& Clean’ panels. You do not have to remove the support
brackets to remove the panels. Lift each panel upward and
slide forward off the support brackets
(Fig.5-8)
.
Once the panels have been removed, the oven enamel
interior can be cleaned.

DO NOT use steel wool, oven cleaning pads, or any
other materials that will scratch the surface.
Refit in the reverse order.
