Catalytic enamel surfaces
The back panel, side liners (if fitted)
and the roof liner
are coated with
catalytic enamel
.
Catalytic enamel has very good
self-cleaning properties.
During fan operated cooking circulating
air in the oven deposits oil and fat
splashes predominantly on the back
panel of the oven.
When catalytic enamel is heated to
temperatures above 200 °C, oil and
grease deposits are removed
automatically. The higher the
temperature the more effective the
process.
The oven and accessories should be
cleaned after each use. Otherwise
further baking and roasting will cause
the deposits to bake on even harder
and cleaning may become difficult, and
in extreme cases impossible.
The following may damage catalytic
enamel
-
abrasive cleaning agents,
-
hard brushes or abrasive
sponges,
-
oven sprays.
Do not use oven sprays on catalytic
enamelled surfaces because the
chemicals used in oven sprays will
damage catalytic enamel rendering
it ineffective.
Cleaning catalytic liners by hand
Allow the oven and accessories to
cool down before cleaning. Danger
of burning!
^
The catalytic back panel, side liners
(if fitted) and roof liner should be
wiped clean after each use using a
solution of hot water with a little
washing up liquid applied with a soft
nylon brush. Rinse thoroughly and
set the oven to a low temperature to
dry the oven out.
If heavy soiling is apparent the liners
can be removed and soaked in a
solution of biological laundry detergent
and water. Rinse with clean water and
dry thoroughly before replacing them.
