REMEMBER TO BE CAREFUL OF THE HOT
APPLIANCE.
DO NOT USE A STEAM CLEANER TO CLEAN THIS
COOKER.
To keep the vitreous enamel surface bright and clean,
wipe over daily with a soapy cloth, followed by a polish
with a clean duster.
If milk, fruit juice or anything containing acid is spilt on the
top plate or down the cooker be sure to wipe it
immediately or the vitreous enamel may be permanently
discoloured.
Keep a damp cloth handy while cooking to wipe up spills
as they occur, so they do not harden and become more
difficult to remove later. Look for cleaners carrying the
VEA (Vitreous Enamel Association) approval logo as this
indicates they can be used on your Rayburn.
For stubborn deposits a soap impregnated pad can be
carefully used on the vitreous enamel.
In the main oven, spills and fat splashes are carbonised
at high temperature, occasionally brush out the ovens
with a stiff brush. Do not use oven cleaners.
The oven doors can be removed for cleaning the linings.
Do not immerse in water. Lay the door on a towel on the
work surface to protect the enamel and clean the linings
with a cream cleanser or soap impregnated pad.
Shelves can be soaked and cleaned with a cream
cleanser.
Both insulating covers should be raised and allowed to
cool before cleaning with a soapy damp cloth. Get into the
habit of wiping them before lowering. Use a wire brush to
keep the hotplate clean. General cleaning is best carried
out when the Rayburn is cold.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE PADS, OVEN CLEANERS OR
CLEANSERS CONTAINING CITRIC ACID ON
ENAMELLED SURFACES.
Important: AGA recommend Vitreous Enamel
Association approved cleaners for cleaning the vitreous
enamelled surfaces of this product.
But they are unsuitable for use on chrome and stainless
steel components, including the hand-rails and their
brackets.
The insulating covers should be cleaned regularly with a
NON-ABRASIVE mild detergent, applied with a soft
(coarse free) cloth and lightly polished up afterwards with
a soft (coarse free) duster or tissue, to bring it back to its
original lustre.
To ensure the best performance from your Rayburn, it
should be serviced once a year, preferably at the end of
the heating season.
The appliance must be commissioned by a competent
engineer, such as OFTEC approved.
An additional flueway and combustion chamber clean
halfway through the heating season may be necessary
sometimes.
A HOT APPLIANCE CANNOT BE SERVICED
Both cooker and boiler thermostat knobs should be turned
OFF the night preceding the day of the servicing so that
the appliance will have cooled down by the following
morning.
