Care and cleaning
What? How? Important!
Side catalytic
panels
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.
Fat filter
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.
See ‘Using the fat filter’
in ‘Oven functions’ for
instructions on removing and
replacing the fat filter.
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.
