Catalytic enamel surface, Cleaning by hand

Cleaning and Care (continued)

Catalytic enamel surface	EN

The removable cover casing is coated with a dark gray catalytic enamel that can become coated with oil and fat distributed by circulating air during convection heating. These deposits will burn off at oven temperatures of 200 °C and higher, for example, when baking or roasting. Higher temperatures will result in faster burning.

The oven and accessories should be cleaned after each use. Otherwise further baking and

roasting will cause the deposits to bake on even harder and cleaning may become diffcult and

in extreme cases impossible.

Cleaning by hand

Make sure the oven is cool before cleaning.

●The catalytic enameled cover casing should be cleaned using a solution of hot water and washing-up liquid applied with a soft nylon brush.

Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, hard brushes, scouring pads or cloths, steel wool, knives or other abrasive materials. Do not use oven spray on catalytic enamel as the chemicals used in oven sprays will damage catalytic enamel and render it ineffective.

If using oven sprays on the interior oven surfaces, the catalytic cover casing must ﬁrst be

removed from the oven.

Cleaning with high temperatures

Before cleaning the catalytic cover casing with high temperatures, make sure that all interior oven surfaces have been cleaned as described above. Otherwise, the high temperatures can bake deposits onto the interior oven surfaces and make them impossible to remove.

If, after manual cleaning, the oven is still heavily soiled, heating it to a high temperature will help remove soiling caused by oil and grease splashes.

Note that deposits of spices, syrups and similar substances are not removed by this process. These should be removed by hand with a mild solution of hot water and washing-up liquid ap- plied with a soft brush.

●Remove all accessories from the oven.

●Set the oven to conventional function.

●Set the heat to 250 °C.

●Run the oven for approximately 1 hour. The length of time will depend on the degree of soiling.

It is a good idea to set the ﬁnish time for the process using the end time setting, in case you forget to switch the oven off at the end.

Any remaining soil will gradually disappear with each subsequent use of the oven at high

temperatures.
