CARE AND CLEANING ALWAYS NEVER • Read these 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 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. • 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 which may cause death. • Use aerosol cleaners until the range has completely cooled. The propellant substance in these cleaners could catch fire in the presence of heat. • Let soiling or grease accumulate anywhere in or on the range. This will make future cleaning more difficult and may present a fire hazard. • Use any abrasive or harsh cleaners, cloths, scouring pads or steel wool. These will scratch your range and damage its appearance. • Use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the range. • Lift the black grill and griddle frames off the cooktop. Manual cleaning WHAT?

Wipe dry with a microfiber cloth. • 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. • Wipe with a damp cloth using a solution of mild detergent and hot water then dry thoroughly with microfiber cloth. • If desired, the dials can be removed for cleaning. Before removing, ensure that dial is set to OFF. Remove only one dial at a time ensuring that you refit completely and correctly. IMPORTANT! • Always read the label to ensure your stainless steel cleaner does not contain chlorine compounds as these are corrosive and may damage the appearance of your cooktop. • Do not use stainless steel cleaner on the dials, oven handles, or the toe kick. 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, ensure liquid does not run down the vents. • Do not use stainless steel cleaner on these parts, as doing so may damage their coating. • The dials are not interchangeable: if removed for cleaning, do so one at a time. This is to ensure that they are replaced correctly.
