The catalytic self-cleaning system
Some models have oven liners coated with a porous
enamel also known as catalytic enamel.
When hot, this enamel destroys all greasy food particles.
For this "oxidation" to occur, the oven liners must reach a
temperature of at least 170°C. The porosity of the catalytic
enamel increases its surface area, thus making the
oxidation process more effective.
When cooking is done, should some grease and food
particles remain on the oven liners, leave the appliance
on with nothing in it and the door shut, with the tempera-
ture knob on the maximum setting, for 60-90 minutes,
depending on the degree of soil. You can remove large
amounts of grease using hot water and a soft brush.
Attention: catalytic enamel is very strong, but
nonetheless, avoid:
- scratching the enamel with sharp objects (i.e. a knife),
- using abrasive detergents or products to clean it,
otherwise you will destroy the enamel's self-cleaning
properties.
The enamel will not be damaged by the accessories
(shelves, tray, rotisserie set). Do not be concerned if white
marks appear on these accessories where they come into
contact with the enamel surfaces.
