Part Recommendations Water Tank Hot soapy water: Clean with a dish cloth and rinse thoroughly to remove residual detergent. Dry with a soft cloth. Leave to dry with the cover open. Do not place in dishwasher. Silicone Door Gasket Clean with hot soapy water. Glass Wash with soap and water or glass cleaner. Use Fantastik® or Formula 409® to remove grease spatters and stubborn stains. Glass Control Panel Use warm soapy water on a dish cloth or glass cleaner sprayed directly on a paper towel. Painted Surfaces Clean with hot soapy water or apply Fantastik® or Formula 409® to a clean sponge or paper towel and wipe clean. Avoid using powder cleaning agents, steel wool pads and oven cleaners. Porcelain Surfaces (bottom of oven cavity) Immediately wipe up acid spills like fruit juice, milk and tomatoes with a dry cloth. Do not use a moistened sponge/cloth on hot porcelain. When cool, clean with hot soapy water or apply Bon-Ami® or Soft Scrub® to a damp sponge. Rinse and dry. For stubborn stains, use soap-filled pads. It is normal for porcelain to show fine lines with age due to exposure to heat and food soil. Stainless Steel Surfaces Always wipe or rub in the direction of the grain. Clean with a soapy sponge, then rinse and dry, or wipe with Fantastik® or Formula 409® sprayed on a paper towel. Protect and polish with Stainless Steel Magic® and a soft cloth.

Probe Wipe with soapy water. Do not submerge. Do not wash in the dishwasher. Printed areas (words Do not use abrasive cleaners or & numbers) petroleum based solvents. Notes ▯ Slight differences in color on the front of the appliance are caused by the use of different materials, such as glass, plastic and metal. ▯ Shadows on the door panels, which look like streaks, are caused by reflections made by the interior lighting. ▯ Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can cause some slight color variation. This is normal and does not affect operation. Surfaces in the Oven Cavity The slightly textured surface of the back wall, ceiling and sides in the oven cavity consists of Ecolyse coating material and should not be cleaned with harsh chemicals. The oven cavity bottom is enameled and has a smooth surface. Cleaning the oven is easier because there is no cleaning around a coil element showing on the bottom of the oven. The hidden lower element is protected from food soils and spills. Wiping up excess spills is easy. Cleaning Enamel Surfaces Clean the smooth enamel surfaces with a dish cloth and hot soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth. Soften baked-on food residues with a damp cloth and soapy water. If there are heavy food deposits use a soapfilled pad. Note: Food residues can leave a white coating behind. These are harmless and do not affect performance. You can remove these residues using lemon juice if required. Keeping the Appliance Clean Always keep the appliance clean and remove food and food spills immediately so that stubborn deposits do not build up. ▯ Clean the oven cavity after each use. This will ensure that food and food spills cannot be baked on. ▯ Always remove flecks of limescale, grease, starch and albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately. ▯ Use suitable ovenware for roasting, e.g. a roasting dish. ▯ For cakes or pies that may spill over, place on baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and place on wire rack. 40
