Maintaining and cleaning your lower oven
C
leaning the inside the oven area
The oven features continuous cleaning (depending on the model) and comprises
an oven chamber fitted with removable liners covered with a special enamel
(catalytic enamel) to give it its self-cleaning properties. As they appear, the stains
and soiling spread and get trapped in the microporosities of the enamel. These
stains are oxidised on both sides and gradually disappear. Self-cleaning enamel
is particularly suited to fatty foods but not to sugars. It is for this reason that the
base liner (which tends to suffer more from sugar staining) is not coated with an
enamel of this type.
We strongly recommend that you :
- Do not rub or scrub the surface using a metal brush or sharp items.
- Do not attempt to clean using commercial scouring products.
- When cooking grilled meat, the walls suffer major spattering from fat, but their
temperature may not always be sufficient to completely remove this during the
cooking cycle.
To overcome this problem leave the oven on for 20 to 30 minutes at the highest
temperature possible after you have finished cooking.
If marks still remain, they will diminish over subsequent cooking cycles.
