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.
CLEANING THE TRIPLE GLAZED DOOR
WARNING!
Do not lift the door by the handle. Rough handling will
cause glass to break.
Removing the oven door
The oven is equipped with a door that can be
disassembled in order to clean all the panes of glass.
Remove the door before cleaning.
• Open the door fully to access the hinges then rotate
the 'stirrups' (highlighted in the image) on both hinges
fully towards the oven.
• Slowly close the oven door until it is stops against the
'stirrups' (about 45°).
• Grasp the oven door with a hand each side of the door
and remove it from the oven by pulling it towards you.
• Lay the oven door with the outer side facing
downwards on something soft and flat (for example a
blanket on a kitchen table) to prevent scratches.

Cleaning the door glass panels
CAUTION!
• Do not to use harsh abrasives on the glass panes as
the reflective surface plays a role in the function of

with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. When dry
polish with a soft cloth and ensure the glass is dry
before reassembly.
