Cleaning and care
c “Catalytic” Enamel
Because circulating air in the oven de-
posits oil and fat splashes predomi-
nantly on the rear wall of the oven this
is coated in catalytic enamel.
With some models, side panels with
catalytic coating are also fitted, and the
removable guard plate above the grill
has a catalytic coating.
When this catalytic enamel is heated to
temperatures above 200°C, oil and
grease deposits are removed, except
for deposits of spices and syrups. The
higher the temperature the more effec-
tive the process.
To take further advantage of the cata-
lytic properties for cleaning, the “Extra
cleaning process” can be used, (see
next page). For slight soils the oven
can be cleaned manually. Do not wait
too long between cleaning sessions as
further baking and roasting will cause
oil and grease deposits to burn on
even harder.
Cleaning the catalytic enamel ma-
nually
Where cooking is carried out at lower
temperatures splashes and oil and
grease can collect on the catalytic coat-
ing. This slight soiling can be cleaned
manually as follows:
Let the oven cool down and remove the
runners. If the roof guard needs to be
removed, see below. Wipe down the
surfaces using a cloth, soft sponge or
soft nylon brush with warm water to
which a little washing up liquid has
been added.
Do not use oven spray, or abrasive
cleaning agents.
Do not wash these panels in the
dishwasher. Any mechanical hand-
ling would damage the catalytic en-
amel.
Clean the oven floor (clean enamel)
after each use.
