CARE AND CLEANING
WHAT? HOW? IMPORTANT!
Side catalytic
panels (not
supplied with the
oven, purchased
optionally)
●
If you roast or grill a lot of
meat and hardly ever bake,
heating an empty oven for
60-90 mins at 250
o
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.
●
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.
Sliding shelf
supports (not
supplied with the
oven, purchased
optionally)
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).
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.
Fat filter
(not supplied
with the oven,
purchased
optionally)
●
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.
Clean after every use. If the
filter is not cleaned, the grease
build-up will block and shorten
the life of the fan element.
Rubber seal
framing the oven
cavity
Wipe very gently with a damp
cloth and mild detergent.
●
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.
Knobs
1 Wipe with a damp cloth and
mild detergent.
2 Dry thoroughly with a soft
cloth.
Do not use stainless steel or
oven cleaner on the knobs, as
doing so may damage their
coating.
