HOW TO LOOK AFTER YOUR Cooker

Wipe Up Spills Immediately

Do not let food spills and splatters dry up on the cooker. You can clean them if the oven is warm as long as it is safe to touch.

Clean Oven Racks Regularly

Remove bits of food from the oven rack after every use to stop them from burning in and becoming harder to clean.

Use Baking Trays and Liners

These minimize the amount of mess made and make cleaning the oven floor easier.

Check Oven Door Seals

Check the rubber seals around the oven door for any damage. Damaged seals allow heat to escape, reducing door efficiency.
