Care of catalytic liners
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.
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 discoloration and polishing of the Catalytic
surface may occur in time. This does not affect the
Catalytic properties in any way.

soilage
Hints and Tips
i
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.
Cleaning the hinged grill
This model has been fitted with a hinged grill element
to enable you to clean the roof of the oven easily.
Before proceeding ensure the oven is cool
and is isolated from the electricity supply.
F
1) Undo the screw which holds the grill in place
(see diagram).
2) Then gently pull the grill downward to allow
access to the oven roof (see diagram).
3) Clean the oven roof with a suitable cleaner
and wipe dry before replacing the hinged grill
element.
4) Gently push up the grill element into place
and firmly screw into place the holding nut.
Ensure the grill holding nut is firmly in place to
avoid the grill falling down when in use
