Care and cleaning
What?
How?
Important!
Side catalytic
panels
If you roast or grill a lot of meat
and hardly ever bake, heating
an empty oven for 60-90 mins
at
250
o
C on BAKE
from time
to time will help the panels to
break down any greasy soiling.
To remove large food particles:
gently wash the panels in
warm soapy water. Rinse in
clean water and allow to dry
naturally.
If the panels become
oversaturated, they will appear
shiny and their ability to ‘self-
clean’ will be reduced. In this
event, they can be reversed.
These panels are normally ‘self-
cleaning’ because their special
enamel breaks down greasy
splatters when the oven is used for
‘non-greasy’ baking, especially at
high temperatures.
Never use scourers, brushes,
abrasives or cleaners with acid
or alkali content on the catalytic
panels.
Sliding shelf
supports
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild
detergent. Do not wipe off or wash
away the white lubricating grease
(visible when the slides are
extended).
Do not wash these in the dishwasher,
immerse in soapy water, or use oven
cleaner on them as doing so will
remove the white lubricating grease
and prevent the slides from running
smoothly.
Fat filter
If lightly soiled: wash in
dishwasher (normal cycle).
If heavily soiled:
1
Place under water in a pan.
2
Add two tablespoons of clothes
washing powder.
3
Bring to the boil.
4
Leave to soak for 30 minutes.
5
Rinse in clean water and dry.
Clean after every use. If the filter is not
cleaned, the grease build-up will block
and shorten the life of the fan element.
Rubber seal framing
the oven cavity
Wipe very gently with a damp cloth
and mild detergent.
Take care not to unhook and
displace the rubber seal while
cleaning it.
Take care not to spray any oven
cleaner or other caustic cleaner on
the rubber seal, as doing so may
damage the rubber.
Knobs
1
Wipe with a damp cloth and
mild detergent.
2
Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Do not use stainless steel or oven
cleaner on the knobs, as doing so may
damage their coating.
