Catalytic liners destroy splashes of food and fats when
the oven temperature is raised to around 220°C.
To aid this process it is a good idea to run the oven for an
hour or two per week, without food, to ensure continued
good performance from the Catalytic liners.
Hints and Tips
• Manual cleaning of the Catalytic liner is not
recommended. Damage will occur if soap impregnated
steel wool pads, aerosol cleaners and any other
abrasives are used.
• Slight discolouration and polishing of the Catalytic
surface may occur in time. This does not affect the
Catalytic properties in any way.
• Follow the recommendations in “Cooking to reduce
soilage”.
Cooking to reduce soilage
Cook at the recommended temperatures. Higher
temperatures during roasting will increase soilage. Try
cooking to 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 the 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 overbrowned.
Do use
the roasting tin. During roasting, the fat from the
joint will be contained beneath the trivet and therefore
prevent it from splattering onto the 'Catalytic' liner.

SYMPTOM
The oven does not come on
The oven temperature light does not come on
The oven light does not come on
It takes too long to finish the dishes, or they are
cooked too fast.
Steam and condensation settle on the food and the
oven cavity.
The electronic programmer does not work
The oven fan is noisy
SOLUTION
Check that the current time of day has been set on the
programmer (see chapter "Setting the time of day")
Check that both a cooking function and temperature
have been selected.
Check the oven is wired in properly, and the socket
switch or the switch from the mains supply to the oven
are ON.
Select a temperature with the thermostat control knob
Select a function with the oven function control knob.
Select a function with the oven function control knob
Check the light bulb, and replace it if necessary (see
"Replacing the Oven Light")
The temperature may need adjusting
Refer to the contents of this booklet, especially to the
chapter “Using the Oven”.
Leave dishes inside the oven no longer than 15-20
minutes after the cooking is completed.
Check the instructions for the timer.
Check that shelves and bakeware are not vibrating in
contact with the oven back panel.
If the oven is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks, before contacting your local Service Centre.
IMPORTANT:
If you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or installation,
a charge will be made even if the appliance is under guarantee.
