Stubborn stains can be removed with a cream, paste or liquid cleaner, or by gently rubbing with liberally soaped, very fine steel wool pads. Check that the cleaning agent used is approved by the Vitreous Enamel Development Council. SPILLAGE COMPARTMENT Raise the hob and secure in this position with the stay provided. Clean with a cloth wrung out in soapy water. Stubborn stains can be removed with a cream, paste or liquid cleaner, or by gently rubbing with liberally soaped, very fine steel wool pads. Check that the cleaning agent used is approved by the Vitreous Enamel Development Council. OVEN DOORS Wipe over the door outer panels with a cloth wrung out in hot soapy water, then after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth. Do not use scouring pads or abrasive powder which may scratch the surface. Clean the door inner panels with a cloth wrung out in soapy water.

Care and Cleaning HOW ‘CREDACLEAN’ WORKS The surface of the ‘Credaclean’ oven liners are treated on the mottled face with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220°C (425°F) or above, the special surface enables these soils to be slowly destroyed. The higher the temperature the more effective it is. In most cases normal cooking operation at this temperature will permit this cleaning operation to proceed during cooking. However if higher cooking temperatures are not used regularly it may be necessary, to prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven without rod shelves or a meat pan at maximum setting for a couple of hours. This may be necessary once a month or once every two or three months, depending on the type and amount of oven cooking. ‘CREDACLEAN’ OVEN LINERS It should not normally be necessary to clean the oven liners. If the user feels it is desirable to do so remove the rod shelves and wash the side panels in warm soapy water followed by rinsing in clear water. GRILL/TOP OVEN Remove the rod shelf, grill pan and the wire grid food support. It is best to wash these items immediately after use to prevent stains from being burnt on when used again. Wipe out the grill/oven compartment, use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove any stubborn stains left on the floor of the compartment. MAIN OVEN Remove the rod shelves and wipe out the oven compartment, use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove any stubborn stains left on the floor of the compartment. CLEANING MATERIALS TO AVOID 1. Plastic or nylon pads 2. Household abrasive powders and scourers, these may scratch the surface. 3. Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads. 4. Caustic cleaners, these will etch the surface and attack the metal frame. 5. Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface. NOTE: We do not recommend the use of decorative covers over the hot hotplates as these can hold condensation and cause corrosion. Accidental operation with a cover in place can cause intense heat. Never place saucepan lids on the hotplates, as this may cause corrosion. Cooking Results Not Satisfactory GRILL Uneven cooking front to back Ensure that the grill pan is positioned centrally below the grill element. Fat splattering Ensure that the grill pan is not lined with foil. Ensure that the grill setting control is not set too high. If solarplus grill - use anti-splash tray supplied under the food support. (Not all models). BAKING GENERAL Uneven rising of cakes Ensure that the oven shelves are level. Sinking of cakes The following may cause cakes to sink: 1. Cooking at too high a temperature. 2. Using normal creaming method with a soft margarine. If using soft margarine, use an all in one method instead of the traditional creaming of the margarine and sugar. Remember when using a food mixer or processor not to over cream soft margarine. Over/undercooking Refer to the cooking times and temperatures given in the Oven Temperature Charts provided, however, it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10°C to suit personal taste. Do not use utensils greater than 56mm (2l.4'') in height for roasting. TOP OVEN BAKING Uneven cooking front to back Ensure that the cooking utensil is at least 100mm (4") from the front of the shelf. Uneven rising Ensure that the shelf is level (as above) and that the food is positioned correctly in the oven. Overcooking Remember to reduce cooking temperatures by 10°C from standard recipes when using the top oven. Food is taking too long to cook Ensure that the cooking utensil used in the top oven is not larger than 300mm x 225mm (12"x 9"). Only cook one item at a time to avoid overloading the oven.
