How?
If you roast or grill a lot of meat
and hardly ever bake, heating
an empty oven for 60-90 mins
o
at 250 C on Bake from time
to time will help the panels to
break down any greasy soiling.
To remove large food particles:
gently wash the panels in warm
soapy water. Rinse in clean
water and allow to dry naturally.
If the panels become
oversaturated, they will appear
shiny and their ability to 'self-
clean' will be reduced. In this
event, they can be reversed.
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild
detergent. Do not wipe off or wash
away the white lubricating grease
(visible when the slides are
extended).
If lightly soiled: wash in
dishwasher (normal cycle).
If heavily soiled:
1 Place under water in a pan.
2 Add two tablespoons of clothes
washing powder.
3 Bring to the boil.
4 Leave to soak for 30 minutes.
5 Rinse in clean water and dry.
Wipe very gently with a damp cloth
and mild detergent.
Important!
These panels are normally 'self-
cleaning' because their special
enamel breaks down greasy
splatters when the oven is used for
'non-greasy' baking, especially at
high temperatures.
Never use scourers, brushes,
abrasives or cleaners with acid
or alkali content on the catalytic
panels.
Do not wash these in the dishwasher,
immerse in soapy water, or use oven
cleaner on them as doing so will
remove the white lubricating grease
and prevent the slides from running
smoothly.
Clean after every use. If the filter is not
cleaned, the grease build-up will block
and shorten the life of the fan element.
Take care not to unhook and
displace the rubber seal while
cleaning it.
Take care not to spray any oven
cleaner or other caustic cleaner on
the rubber seal, as doing so may
damage the rubber.
