CLEANING INSIDE THE GRILL AND OVEN COMPARTMENTS

The sides and back of the grill/second oven and main oven compartments are coated with a special Stayclean coating. They should not be cleaned manually.

The vitreous enamel main oven base and grill compartment base can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.

Aerosol cleaners must not come into contact with elements, the door seal, or any painted finishes as this may cause damage.

HINTS AND TIPS

Aerosol cleaners must not be used on Stayclean surfaces.

Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and fats when the oven temperature is raised to around 220°C.

It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two per week to ensure continued good performance from the Stayclean finish.

Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean surfaces may occur in time. This DOES NOT affect the Stayclean properties in any way.

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 a 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.

Covering joints during cooking will also prevent splashing onto the interior surfaces. Removing the covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow extra browning if required. Some large joints and turkeys especially benefit by this method of cooking, allowing the joint to cook through before the outside is over- browned.
