Catalytic Cleaning
Catalytic liners are installed within the oven
cavity. These are the matte-finished, light-
coloured panels on the sides and/or the
matte-finished panel at the rear of the oven.
They work by collecting any grease and oil
residue during cooking. Catalytic liners are
designed to have a working life of about
300 hours.
The liner self-cleans by absorbing fats and
oils and burning them to ash, which can
then be easily removed from the floor of
the oven with a damp cloth. The lining must
be porous to be effective. The liner may
discolour with age.
If a large amount of fat is spilled onto
the liner it may reduce its efficiency. To
overcome this problem, set the oven to
maximum temperature for about 20 - 30
minutes. After the oven has cooled, wipe
out the floor of the oven.
Manual cleaning of the catalytic liners is not
recommended. Damage will occur if a soap-
impregnated steel wool pad or any other
abrasives are used. In addition, we do not
recommend the use of aerosol cleaners on
the liners. The walls of a catalytic liner may
become ineffective due to excess grease.
The excess grease can be removed with
a soft cloth or sponge soaked in hot water
and the cleaning cycle can be carried out
as described above.
Removal of Catalytic Liner
To remove the catalytic liner, remove the
screws holding each catalytic panel to the
oven.
Cleaning the Gas Hob
• Clean the gas hob on a regular basis.
• Take off the pan supports, caps and
crowns of the hob burners.
• Wipe the hob surface with a soft cloth
soaked in soapy water. Then, wipe the
hob surface over again with a wet cloth
and dry it.
• Wash and rinse the hob-burner caps.
Do not leave them wet. Dry them
immediately with a dry cloth.
• Make sure you re-assemble all parts
correctly after cleaning.
• The surfaces of the pan supports may
become scratched over time due to use.
This is not a production fault.
Do not use a metal sponge for cleaning
any part of the hob.
Make sure no water gets into the
burners as this may block the injectors.
Cleaning the Hotplate Heater (if
available)
• Clean the hotplate heater on a regular
basis.
• Wipe the hotplate with a soft cloth
soaked in only water. Then, run the
hotplate for a short time to dry it
completely.
Cleaning the Glass Parts
• Clean the glass parts of your appliance
on a regular basis.
• Use a glass cleaner to clean the inside
and outside of the glass parts. Then,
rinse and dry them thoroughly with a dry
cloth.
Cleaning the Enamelled Parts
• Clean the enamelled parts of your
appliance on a regular basis.
• Wipe the enamelled parts with a soft
cloth soaked in soapy water. Then, wipe
them over again with a wet cloth and dry
them.
Do not clean the enamelled parts while
they are still hot from cooking.
Do not leave vinegar, coffee, milk, salt,
water, lemon or tomato juice on the enamel
for a long time.
