11.5 Cleaning the oven with self-cleaning liners

The oven is fitted with enamelled liners that are continuously self-cleaning. These liners simplify cleaning of the oven and ensure it continues to perform well over time.

11.5.1 Using the self-cleaning liners

To keep the inside of the oven clean and free from food residues and unpleasant smells, it should periodically be operated empty at a temperature of at least 200° C for a time varying between 30 and 60 minutes. This allows the self-cleaning liners to oxidise any deposits present, which can then be wiped away with a damp sponge once the oven has cooled.

11.5.2 Maintenance of self-cleaning liners

The liners should not be cleaned using abrasive creams and ordinary cleaners. Simply wipe with a damp sponge to avoid damaging the special enamel coating.
