CLEANING THE ACCESSORIES
Catalytic self cleaning panels (if fitted)
Operation
Catalytic self clean panels are coated with a specially
formulated enamel coating, over a base of regular enamel.
This enamel coating has a rough surface which is also
porous. During normal cooking, fats and other food
splatter is partially absorbed into the surface and then
oxidises away.
This oxidisation of the fat works best if the oven is set at
high temperatures. You will find that if you do a lot of lower
temperature baking, say around the normal 180°C, then
the cleaning process may not be complete. Every now and
then you should turn the oven on to 250°C for around one
hour to completely remove the soil.
Cleaning
Should the panels become heavily soiled, they will need
to be taken out of the oven and cleaned by hand. They
should be soaked in warm, soapy water for at least 2
hours and then wiped clean with a soft cloth.
Note: It is not recommended that the catalytic liner in the
top of the oven be removed.
CAuTIon!
Solid cleaning powders, creamy cleansers, caustic
oven cleaners, steel wool or other scourers will ruin
the catalytic surface and must NEVER BE USED.
Removing catalytic liners
• Remove the side racks (see previous page)
• Lift the liner up to disengage the hooks.
• The liners should now be free to be pulled in towards
the centre of the oven.
