Care & Cleaning

Do's Dont's

• Read these cleaning instructions and the ‘Safety and warnings’

section before you start cleaning your range.

• Before cleaning or removing any part, make sure that everything

on the range has been turned off.

• Unless suggested otherwise in the chart following, allow any part

to cool to a safe temperature before cleaning. If you do need to

handle a warm or hot part (eg grill or griddle), take extreme

care. Wear long protective mitts to avoid burns from steam or hot

surfaces.

• Try using any cleaner on a small area first, to ensure it doesn’t

stain.

• See the pages following this chart for instructions on removing

and replacing different parts of the range for cleaning or

maintenance.

• To help you identify any parts, see illustrations in section

‘Introduction’ and after this cleaning chart.

• Ensure the anti-tip device is re-engaged if you move the range for

cleaning. Failure to do this may result in the oven tipping, and

adults and children may be killed.

• Do not use aerosol cleaners

until the range has completely

cooled.

• The propellant substance in

these cleaners could catch fire

in the presence of heat.

• Do not let soiling or

grease accumulate anywhere in

or on the range. This will make

future cleaning more difficult

and may present a fire hazard.

• Do not use any abrasive or

harsh cleaners, cloths, scouring

pads or steel wool. These will

scratch your range and damage

its appearance.

• Do not use a steam cleaner to

clean any part of the range.

• Do not perform any cleaning

or maintenance on parts not

specifically named in the chart

below. If in doubt, contact

Customer Care.

• Do not lift the black grill

and griddle frames off the

cooktop.

1. Soften any stubborn stains under a hot

soapy cloth.

2. Clean with a solution of mild detergent and

hot water, then wipe dry with a microfiber

cloth.

3. For extra shine, use a suitable stainless

steel cleaner and polish, following

manufacturer’s instructions. Always rub the

stainless steel in the direction of the polish

lines.

• Always read the label to make sure

your stainless steel cleaner does not

contain chlorine compounds as these

are corrosive and may damage

the appearance of your cooktop.

• Do not use and take care not to spill

any stainless steel cleaner on the

knobs, oven handles, or the kickstrip

grate. These are not stainless steel

parts and their surface may be

damaged by stainless steel cleaner.

• When cleaning the back trim and the

top of the oven door, be careful not to

let any liquid run down the vent holes.

2. Dry thoroughly with microfiber cloth.

If wished, the knobs can be removed for cleaning.

Before removing a knob, make sure that it is set to

OFF, then pull it straight towards you.

Remove only one knob at a time, and make

sure that you refit it on its shaft completely and

correctly after cleaning.

• Do not use stainless steel cleaner on

these parts, as doing so may damage

their coating.

• The knobs are not interchangeable: If

you remove them for cleaning, do so

one at a time. This is to ensure that

you replace each knob exactly where

you removed it from.

How? Important!

Enamel Oven

Interior

– light soiling

1. Wipe with a damp cloth and a solution of

hot water and mild detergent.

2. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

The oven door may

be removed to make

reaching into the oven

easier.

• To prevent soiling from becoming

‘baked on’ and stubborn,

we recommend removing any easy-

to-reach spills, food or greasy stains

from the enamel after each use. In

self- cleaning ovens, this will also

reduce the need for using the CLEAN

cycle frequently.

Enamel Oven

Interior

–

stubborn, ‘baked-

on’ soiling

•Self-cleaning ovens (those with CLEAN on

the oven mode knob): use the CLEAN cycle.

See ‘Using the CLEAN cycle’ for

instructions.

•Non-self-cleaning ovens (those

without CLEAN on the oven mode knob):

1. Remove everything from the oven: shelves,

side racks, all utensils.

2. Cover the kickstrip grate and the floor in

front of the oven with several layers of

newspaper. This is to protect

these surfaces from damage by oven

cleaner seeping out or accidentally

dripping on them.

3. Apply an ammonia-based cleaner or oven

cleaner following the

cleaner manufacturer’s instructions.

4. After cleaning, replace the side racks and

shelves.

• Don’t use oven cleaners in self-

cleaning ovens (those with CLEAN

on the oven mode knob).

• Oven cleaners are caustic and

may permanently stain or damage

some surfaces. When using an

oven cleaner in a non-self

cleaning oven, take care not to let it

come in contact with any surface

other than the oven interior. If it

accidentally does, remove

immediately.

Side racks

1. Pre-soak any stubborn, burnt-on soiling, then clean with a solution of mild detergent and

hot water and wipe dry with a microfiber cloth.

2. Alternatively, clean these in the dishwasher.

Oven shelves

1. To remove stubborn or ‘baked-on’ soiling,

scrub with a dampened, soap-filled, non-

metal, non-abrasive pad, then wipe dry.

2. Apply a chrome cleaner with a damp

sponge or cloth following manufacturer

instructions.

3. Wipe and dry.

• Do not wash the main oven shelves

in the dishwasher, immerse them in

soapy water, or use oven cleaner on

them. Doing so will remove the

lubricating grease in the

slides, stopping them from running

smoothly.

during a CLEAN cycle. However, if it

is particularly soiled, wipe down with hot

water to loosen stains before starting a

CLEAN cycle.

•Non-self-cleaning ovens (those without

CLEAN on the oven mode knob): Use a soft

cloth and a mixture of warm water and

dishwashing liquid to remove light soiling.

For stubborn stains, try using a ceramic

cooktop cleaner or a mixture of baking soda

and warm water, then wipe dry with a soft,

lint-free cloth.

• Do not use oven cleaners or any

other arsh/abrasive cleaners, cloths,

scouring pads, steel wool or

sharp metal scrapers to clean the

oven door glass. These scratch the

glass, which in turn could result in the

glass cracking and shattering.

Burner caps and

brass flame spreaders

1. Check that the burner is

turned OFF and allow it to

cool.

2. Lift off the burner cap and

brass flame spreader.

3. Wash them in hot soapy

water, rinse, and dry.

• Use a stiff nylon brush

or straight-ended paper clip

to clear the notches of the

flame spreader.

4. Replace the flame spreader

and burner cap

correctly. See ‘Replacing

the burner parts’.

• Keep the notches of the flame spreaders

clear. Soiling may clog these and cause ignition

problems.

• Before replacing the burner parts, check

that they are dry. Wet burner parts may result in

an irregular flame.

• Before lighting a burner you have

reassembled, check that all of its parts are

positioned correctly. Incorrect assembly

can cause dangerous irregular flames and

ignition problems.

Ignitors

1. Check that the burner is

turned OFF.

2. Clean the ignitor with a

small brush (eg old

toothbrush) or cotton

• The ignitors must be kept clean and dry to

work correctly. Dirty or wet ignitors could cause

constant clicking and sparking, even if a flame is

present.

drip-pan and the grate.

• The radiant tray doesn’t need regular

cleaning. Clean only if there’s evidence

of large food particles.

• The radiant tray doesn’t need cleaning

with water, as smaller soiling will

be burned off during use.

• Make sure you replace the radiant tray

correctly: the tab with the hole must be at

the front.

brush to clean the

griddle of grease

and food particles.

2. Once the griddle has

cooled to lukewarm, rub

the surface lightly

with vegetable oil, then

wipe thoroughly with a

heavy, coarse cloth.

To remove stubborn,

‘baked-on’ soiling:

1. Use a griddle stone

following manufacturer’s

instructions, taking care

to avoid the griddle’s

black frame.

2. Wash with hot soapy

water, rinse and dry.

3. Re-season the griddle

following instructions in

griddle’.’

• Never flood the hot griddle with cold

water: this could cause it to crack or warp.

• Do not lift the black griddle frame off

the cooktop. The griddle assembly must

not be removed.

• The griddle will develop a non-stick

coating and will darken or discolor in

patches with use: this is normal.

Grease drip-pan

1. Wait until the grease

drip-pan has cooled to a

safe temperature to

touch, then slide it

slightly towards you and

lift out.

2. Discard grease, then

clean the drip-pan with

hot water

and dishwashing liquid.

The grease drip-pan is

also dishwasher-safe.
