Care and Cleaning

HOW ‘STAY CLEAN’ WORKS
The surface of the ‘Stay clean’ oven liners are treated on the mottled face with a special
vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220˚C (425˚F) or above, the
special  surface enables  these  soils  to  be  slowly  destroyed.  The  higher  the  temperature
the more effective it is. In most cases normal cooking operation at this temperature will
permit this cleaning operation to proceed during cooking. However if higher cooking 
temperatures are not used regularly it may be necessary, to prevent heavy soiling, to run
the  oven  without  rod  shelves  or  a  meat  pan  at  maximum  setting  for  a  couple  of  hours.
This  may  be  necessary  once  a  month  or  once  every  two  or  three  months,  depending  on
the type and amount of oven cooking.

‘STAY CLEAN’ OVEN LINERS
It should not normally be necessary to clean the oven liners.
If the user feels it is desirable to do so remove the rod shelves and wash the side panels
in warm soapy water followed by rinsing in clear water.

GRILL/TOP OVEN
Remove the rod shelf, grill pan and the wire grid food support. It is best to wash these
items  immediately  after  use  to  prevent  stains  from  being  burnt  on  when  used  again.
Wipe out the grill/oven compartment, use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove any 
stubborn stains left on the floor of the compartment.

MAIN OVEN
Remove the rod shelves and wipe out the oven compartment, use  a fine steel wool soap
pad to remove any stubborn stains left on the floor of the compartment.

CLEANING MATERIALS TO AVOID
1. 

Plastic or nylon pads

2. 

Household abrasive powders and scourers, these may  scratch the surface.

3. 

Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads. 

4.

Caustic cleaners, these will etch the surface and attack the metal frame.

5.  Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface.

NOTE: 

We do not recommend the use of decorative covers over the hot hotplates as these can

hold  condensation  and  cause  corrosion.  Accidental  operation  with  a  cover  in  place  can  cause
intense heat. Never place saucepan lids on the hotplates, as this may cause corrosion.
