THE OVEN CLEANING CYCLE

1.Remove oven shelves, wirework runners and bakeware from oven.

2.Push in and turn the oven control to mark 5 for 30 minutes.

3.Turn the temperature up to mark 7 for 2 hours or until the oven is presentably clean. Some staining will remain.

THINGS TO NOTE

The cooling fan for the controls will operate after a short time when the oven cleaning cycle is selected. It may run on after the controls are switched off until the cooker has cooled. See page 7 for more details on the operation of the cooling fan.

HINTS AND TIPS

Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean surfaces may occur in time, but this will not affect their self cleaning properties.

A good time to use the oven cleaning cycle is after the weekly roast.

If you do a lot of roasting and very little baking you should follow the cleaning cycle every week. If you roast very little you will only need to follow the cleaning cycle every 2 - 3 weeks.

Follow the recommendations below to keep soilage to a minimum.

COOKING TO REDUCE SOILAGE

Cook at the recommended temperatures. Higher temperatures during roasting will increase soilage. Try cooking at lower temperatures for an increased length of time, you will save energy and often the joint is more tender.

Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting meat, potatoes only require brushing with fat before cooking. Extra fat in the oven during roasting will increase splashing and soilage.

It is not necessary to add water to the meat tin when roasting. The water and the fat juices from the joint create excessive splattering during cooking, even at normal temperatures, as well as causing condensation.
