(a) How "Stay clean" works.
The surfaces of the "Stay clean" oven liners are treated with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils.
At temperatures of 220˚C (425˚F) or above, the special surface enables these soils to be slowly destroyed.
The higher the temperature the more effective it is.
(b) Cleaning.
In most cases normal cooking operations at 220°C (425°F) will permit this cleaning operation to proceed during cooking. However if higher cooking temperatures are not used regularly, it may be necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the ovens without shelves or meat pan, at a maximum setting for a couple of hours.
It should not normally be necessary to clean the "Stay clean" panels with water. If the user feels it is desirable to do so, wipe them over with a clean, soapy cloth, followed by a wipe with a clean damp cloth.
DO NOT use biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or chemical oven cleaners of any kind as this could damage the “Stay clean” oven liners.
