Ovens
Catalytic Panels
The bottom oven has side catalytic panels which have been
coated with a special enamel that partly cleans itself. This
does not stop all marks on the lining, but helps to reduce the
amount of manual cleaning needed.
These panels work better above 200 °C. If you do most of your
cooking below this temperature, occasionally remove the
panels and wipe with a lint free cloth and hot soapy water.
The panels should then be dried and replaced and the oven
heated at 200 °C for about one hour. This will make sure that
the panels are working effectively.
Removing the Wire Shelving and Catalytic
Panels to Clean
The main oven lining panels can be removed for cleaning.
If you wish to clean the enamel interior of the oven, you will
need to remove the shelves before removing the catalytic
panels
Pull the wire shelves from the base clips. Then lift the shelf
from the top mounts
.
The catalytic panels can now be removed via the six screws
(Fig. 5.7)
.
Once the panels have been removed, the oven enamel
interior can be cleaned.
DO NOT use steel wool, oven cleaning pads, or any other
materials that will scratch the surface.
Refit in the reverse order.
