care and cleaning

• Switch off, unplug and allow the oven to cool completely before cleaning.

oven exterior

• Wipe with a damp cloth or non abrasive cleaner and dry thoroughly.

oven interior

• Clean the door with warm water and a non-abrasive cleaner.
• The bottom heating element can be lifted up slightly to clean the bottom of the oven. To avoid damage take care when lifting the element.
• Grease particles on the quartz tubes will normally evaporate during operation of the oven. Do not attempt to clean the actual quartz tubes as damage may occur.
• The oven has self-cleaning panels which are covered with porous enamel that will absorb grease. Do not scrape the surface with sharp utensils or scourers and do not clean using detergent based products. To clean and extend the life of the self cleaning surface :-

a) After cooking greasy foods - heat the oven when empty for 15 minutes with the door open on setting 2 and the temperature set to maximum.
b) Large splashes of grease should be wiped off with a damp sponge once the oven is cold.

oven shelves, tray & spit

• Wash immediately after use in hot soapy water.
• Alternatively they can be washed in the dishwasher.

service

• If the cord is damaged it must, for safety reasons, be replaced by Kenwood or an authorised Kenwood repairer.
• For any repairs in or out of guarantee, servicing or selected spare parts contact the dealer from whom you purchased your appliance.
