Care of catalytic liners

Catalytic liners destroy splashes of food and fats
when the oven temperature is raised to around
220°C. To aid this process it is a good idea to run
the oven for an hour or two per week, without
food, to ensure continued good performance
from the Catalytic liners.
Hints and Tips
• Manual cleaning of the Catalytic liner is not
recommended. Damage will occur if soap
impregnated steel wool pads, aerosol
cleaners and any other abrasives are used.
• Slight discolouration and polishing of the
Catalytic surface may occur in time. This does
not affect the Catalytic properties in any way.
• Follow the recommendations in "Cooking to
reduce soilage".
Cooking to reduce soilage
Cook at the recommended temperatures. Higher
temperatures during roasting will increase
soilage. Try cooking to lower temperatures for
an increased length of time, you will save energy
and often the joint is more tender. Use minimal,
if any, extra oil or fat when roasting meat; potatoes
only require brushing with fat before cooking.
Extra fat in the oven during roasting will increase
splashing and soilage. It is NOT necessary to add
water to the meat tin when roasting. The water
and the fat juices from the joint create excessive
splattering during cooking, even at normal
temperatures, as well as causing condensation.
Covering joints during cooking will also prevent
splashing onto the interior surfaces; removing
the covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow
extra browning, if required. Some large joints
and turkeys especially benefit by this method of
cooking, allowing the joint to cook through
before the outside is overbrowned.
Do use the roasting tin. During roasting, the fat
from the joint will be contained beneath the trivet
and therefore prevent it from splattering onto
the 'Catalytic' liner.

Replacing the Oven Light
If the oven bulb needs replacing, it must comply
with the following specifications:
- Electric power: 25 W,
- Electric rate: 230 V (50 Hz),
- Resistant to temperatures of 300°C,
- Connection type: E14.
These bulbs are available from your local Service
Force Centre.
To replace the faulty bulb (Fig. 27):
1. Ensure the oven is disconnected from the
electrical supply.
2. Turn the glass cover anticlockwise.
3. Remove the faulty bulb and replace with the
new one.
4. Refit the glass cover.
5. Reconnect to the electrical supply.
