Catalytic Cleaning
Catalytic liners are installed within the oven cavity. These are the matte-finished, light-
coloured panels on the sides and/or the matte-finished panel at the rear of the oven.
They work by collecting any grease and oil residue during cooking.
The liner self-cleans by absorbing fats and oils and burning them to ash, which can then
be easily removed from the floor of the oven with a damp cloth. The lining must be
porous to be effective. The liner may discolour with age.
If a large amount of fat is spilled onto the liner it may reduce its efficiency. To overcome
this problem, set the oven to maximum temperature for about 20 - 30 minutes. After the
oven has cooled, wipe out the floor of the oven.
Manual cleaning of the catalytic liners is not recommended. Damage will occur if a soap-
impregnated steel wool pad or any other abrasives are used. In addition, we do not
recommend the use of aerosol cleaners on the liners. The walls of a catalytic liner may
become ineffective due to excess grease.
The excess grease can be removed with a soft cloth or sponge soaked in hot water,
and the cleaning cycle can be carried out as described above.
Removal of the Catalytic Liner
To remove the catalytic liner, remove the screws holding each catalytic panel to the
oven.
