Catalytic enamel surfaces
The
back panel
is coated with dark
grey catalytic enamel.
Soiling from oil and fat is burnt off this
surface when very high temperatures
are used in the oven. The higher the
temperature, the more effective the
process.
The catalytic coating becomes
ineffective through using
–
abrasive agents,
–
hard brushes or abrasive
sponges
–
oven sprays.
Remove catalytic enamel parts from
the oven before cleaning the
PerfectClean oven surfaces with
oven spray.
Note that deposits of
spices, syrups
and similar substances
are not
removed from the catalytic coating by
this process. These should be removed
by hand whilst still fresh, using a mild
solution of hot water and washing-up
liquid applied with a soft sponge or
brush. Remove the panels from the
oven to do this.
Soiling caused by
oil and grease
splashes
are removed from catalytic
coated surfaces when the oven is
heated to a high temperature. To do
this:
^
Take all accessories out of the oven.
^
Wipe large deposits of soiling from
the oven interior and the inside of the
door before starting the cleaning
process to avoid them baking onto
PerfectClean surfaces and becoming
impossible to remove.
^

U
.
^
Set the highest temperature setting.
^
Run the oven interior for
approx. 1 hour. The length of time will
depend on the level of soiling.
If the catalytic coated panel is very
heavily soiled with oil and grease, a
film will develop on the oven surface
during the cleaning process which
can be wiped off with warm water
and a little washing-up liquid once
cool.
^
Finally, clean the PerfectClean
surfaces and the inside of the door.
The timer can also be used to set the
finish time. See "Entering the duration,
start time or finish".
Any remaining soiling will gradually
disappear with each subsequent use of
the oven at high temperatures.
Should the catalytic coating on the
back panel become ineffective
through improper use or heavy
soiling, a replacement can be
obtained from Miele.
