z Always switch OFF at mains before cleaning.
z When cleaning use as little water as possible.
z Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this range.
z Do not use abrasive pads, oven cleaner, or cleaners containing citric acid on
enamelled surfaces.
Surfaces that require cleaning are:
Enamelled Top and Front
z The easiest way to clean the Aga Comp anion/Module top and front plate is to mop up spills
as they happen.
z Baked on food is more difficult to clean but can usually be removed with proprietary
vitreous enamel cleaners or mild cream cleaners using a cloth, or if necessary, a nylon
scouring pad.
z If milk or fruit juice, or anything containing acid is spilt on the enamel wipe off
immediately.
z Clean off any condensation streaks on the front plate around the oven doors or the vitreous
enamel may be permanently discoloured.
z All that is usually needed to keep the vitreous enamelled surfaces of your cooker bright
and clean is a daily rub over with a damp cloth followed immediately with a clean, dry cloth
to avoid streaks.
Gas Hotplate
z If spillage does occur on a burner cap or pan support, move pan to another burner and
when cool, clean in hot soapy water.
z After cleaning, be sure all part s are dry. When fitting the burner cap and burner head, make
sure that the hole in the burner head is correctly located over the ignition electrode (See
Fig. 19A, 19B, 19C), and that the burner cap is sitting correctly on the burner head.
z The ignition electrode must not be displaced or damaged otherwise spark ignition will be
affected.
z The hotplate top is sealed. To clean, remove pan supports and wipe over visible surface.
z PLEASE NOTE: The following loose parts MUST NOT be cleaned in a dishwasher, as this
could damage or discolour the finish:- Pan Supports, Burner Caps, Burner Ring and Burner
Head.
z Aluminium pans may cause metallic marking on the pan supports. This will not affect the
durability of the enamel.
NOTE: The appliance guarantee does not cover the mis-use of the pan supports.
The Ovens
z The ovens are fitted with side and back panels which are of self cleaning enamel and
should not be scoured.
z The shelves can be removed and if necessary the shelf supports may also be removed by
taking out the screws.
z These items may be washed in the sink with normal oven cleaners, you may use a fine
wool soap pad for removing stubborn stains from the oven bases and shelf supports.
z NOTE: TAKE CARE NOT TO DAMAGE THE THERMOSTAT PHIALS IN THE OVENS
WHEN CLEANING.
