MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
The oven should be kept clean at all times. A build-up of fats or other foodstuffs could result in a fire. Before cleaning, ensure all control knobs are in the OFF position, and the appliance has cooled completely. Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the cooker from the electricity supply.

Cleaning materials
Before using any cleaning materials on your oven, check that they are suitable and that the manufacturer recommends their use. Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as they may dull the surface finishes. A steam cleaner is not to be used. Harsh abrasives should also be avoided.
External cleaning
We recommend for cleaning cleaners type AXION or CIF that do not scratch the surface; after that rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid use of metall objects (knife, edge), steel wool or nylon pads, abrasive or caustic products, or diluents.

Oven Cavity
The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the oven is still warm. Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water after each use. From time to time it will be necessary to do a more thorough cleaning, using a proprietary oven cleaner.
The Hob Top
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm; as spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool. Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a little washing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use of the following: � household detergent and bleaches; � impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans; � steel wool pads; � bath/sink stain removers.
Oven Shelves and shelf support
To clean the oven shelves, and shelf support soak in warm soapy water and remove stubborn marks with a well-wetted soap impregnated pad. Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the Oven door
For a more complete cleaning of the oven door, it is advisable to disassemble it in the following way: Open the door completely. Turn the two locking parts on the hinge arms to 170°; Partially close the door, to a 30o angle; Lift the door and pull out.
The Hotplates
Spills onto the actual plate should be removed using warm water and a soft brush, nylon or plastic scourer. To keep the plates looking as new, hotplate conditioner can be purchased from most hardware stores, e.g. �4 Hob� by HomeCare Products (follow the manufacturer�s instruction for use). Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop of olive oil on a kitchen towel to avoid rust. It is important to note that the plate will smoke a little and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when next used.
