Baking guide
Glass parts
FACIA PANEL & DOOR PANELS
Use a mild cream cleaner - eg; “Cif”.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft
cloth. Do not
use abrasive cleaners
or polishes.
To remove the glass panel for cleaning,
open the door to the door stop position
(about 30˚ open), hold the top and
bottom edges of the panel and slide
out. Note that if the door is opened
fully when removing the inner door
glass panel, the door may spring shut.
Important: if the inner door glass
panel is removed for cleaning, it must
be replaced the right way up as
shown, and pushed fully in to the
stop position.
