CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND GRILL
COMPARTMENTS
The sides and back panel of the top oven/grill and
main oven compartments are coated with a
Stayclean Coating.
The Stayclean surfaces should not be cleaned
manually. See ‘Care of Stayclean Surfaces’.
The vitreous enamel main oven base, and top
oven/grill compartment base can be cleaned using
normal oven cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners with
care. Ensure that the manufactures instructions are
followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.
Aerosol cleaners must not be used on the
Stayclean surfaces and must not come into
contact with elements as this may cause damage.
CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES
Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and fats
when the oven temperature is raised to around
220°C.
It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two
per week to ensure continued good performance
from the Stayclean finish.
HINTS AND TIPS
·
Manual cleaning of the Stayclean surface IS NOT
recommended. Damage will occur if abrasives or
aerosol sprays of any kind are used.
·
Slight discolouration and polishing of the
Stayclean surfaces may occur in time. This
DOES NOT affect the Stayclean properties in
any way.
·
A good time to allow the oven to run on is after
the weekly roast. After removing the roast, turn
the oven up to 220°C and allow to run for an hour
or so. It is important NOT to allow a build-up of
soilage as this can prevent the Stayclean
surfaces from working.
·
Follow the recommendations to keep oven
soilage to minimum.
·
Cook at the recommended temperatures. Higher
temperatures during roasting will increase
soilage. Try cooking at lower temperatures for
an increased length of time, you will save energy
and often the joint is more tender.
·
Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting
meat, potatoes only require brushing with fat
before cooking. Extra fat in the oven during
roasting will increase splashing and soilage.
·
It is NOT necessary to add water to a meat tin
when roasting. The water and the fat juices from
the joint create excessive splattering during
cooking – even at normal temperatures, as well
as causing condensation.
·
Covering joints during cooking will also prevent
splashing onto the interior surfaces. Removing
the covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow
extra browning if required. Some large joints and
turkeys especially benefit by this method of
cooking, allowing the joint to cook through before
the outside is over-browned.
CLEANING THE DOOR GLASS
To prevent damaging or weakening the
door glass panels avoid the use of the
following:
· Household detergents and bleaches
·
Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-
stick saucepans
· Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
·
Chemical oven pads or aerosols
· Rust removers
·
Bath/Sink stain removers
