How 'Stayclean'
Works
Cleaning the
Exterior of

Remove the rod shelves and meat pan.
Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod
shelves, meat pan and the floor of the ovens.
The surface of the 'Stayclean' oven liners are treated on the mottled face
with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At tempera-
tures of 220 o C (425 o F) or above, the special surface enables these soils to
be slowly destroyed. The higher the temperature the more effective it is. In
most cases normal cooking operation at this temperature will permit this
cleaning operation to proceed during cooking. However if higher cooking
temperatures are not used regularly it may be necessary, to prevent heavy
soiling, to run the oven without a meat pan at maximum setting for a couple
of hours. This may be necessary once a month or once every two or three
months depending on the type and amount of oven cooking.
Oven Liners – sides
It should not normally be necessary to clean the 'Stayclean' panels in
water. If desirable remove the rod shelves and the side panels and wash
them in warm soapy water, followed by rinsing in clean water.
The outside of the cooker should be cleaned regularly to keep it looking like
new.
Wipe over with a soft cloth wrung out in hot water and dry with a soft clean
cloth.
You can use mild non abrasive cleaners but always read the manufacturer's
instructions first.
Always test their suitability on a small area of the cooker not noticeable in
normal use.
NOTE: Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners
which may scratch the surface.
Wear protective gloves when cleaning any part of your
cooker.
