Cleaning the Range Cookers Hob
When cleaning a gas hob, do not use any abrasive cleaners on the stainless steel, this could discolour or damage the hob top.
Please use a soft cloth with warm water and washing-up liquid to clean the top. We recommend using a degreaser spray to bring the sparkle back to the cooker hob top.
If your pan supports are made from cast iron, please make sure to wait for them to cool completely before you start cleaning.
Fill your sink with warm water, place the pan supports in until covered and use washing up liquid with a soft cloth to clean.
How to Clean the Oven Shelves & Racks
Use warm soapy water and allow the shelves to soak, then simply wipe the dirt and grease away with a cloth. Alternatively, If you own a dishwasher, you can pop your racks in with your next load and your job is done.
How to Clean the Oven Walls?
The inside oven walls could benefit from a deep clean every three to four months. This will take about 30 minutes to clean. We recommend the steaming method for best results, Simply add washing up liquid to 150ml of cold water and turn on the oven to 100 degrees.
Place the 150ml of water and washing-up liquid inside the oven and leave for 20 minutes. What you will find is the water will start to steam and loosen the dirt and grease surrounding your inside oven walls.
Allow the oven to cool and wipe the inside walls with a microfibre cloth.
How To Clean The External Surface of Your Oven?
Cleaning the surface of your oven should be nice and easy. As you don’t cook on this part of the oven, the only reason to clean it will be to get rid of daily dust that gathers in your home or any spillages that might occur occasionally.
A damp cloth should be enough to wipe any marks or dirt off the surface of your cleaner, and if you want to dust it a regular dust cloth should suffice.
Because you don’t tend to use the outside of the oven, there isn’t really a need to perform a deep clean periodically. Simply give it a quick wipe-down as and when it is needed.
