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
that section below). 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
manually
Where cooking is carried out at lower
temperatures splashes of 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 or telescopic frame. Wipe
down the surface(s) 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.
