Fisher & Paykel BI452 manual Cleaning the fat filter, Cleaning the oven and oven runners

Cleaning the fat filter

The fat filter should be cleaned after every use.

For normal soiling, place in a dishwasher on normal wash. If the fat filter is very dirty, place in a saucepan with either two tablespoons of washing powder, or one tablespoon of dishwasher powder. Bring to the boil and leave to soak for at least 30 minutes. Rinse the filter in clean water and dry. Refer to Accessories for installing/removing the fat filter.

Cleaning the oven and oven runners

Clean the inside of the oven while still warm, using household detergents or an ammonia-based cleaner. ‘Off the shelf’ oven cleaners may be used providing the instructions supplied by the manufacturer are followed carefully. Do not use oven cleaner on self-cleaning liners. The wire side runners may be removed to make cleaning easier. A drop-down top element is fitted in some built-in oven models. This assists in cleaning the roof of the oven cavity.

Removing and replacing the oven runners

1To remove the runners gently push the retaining wire from underneath the stud then lift the runners up and towards the centre of the oven. The prongs at the top will slide out.

2To replace the runners, hold the runner and push prongs fully into the small slots at the top of oven cavity.

3Lower the runners and gently place retaining wire underneath the stud.

Important!

Do not lower runners until prongs are fully inserted (so that you do not chip the enamel).

Self-cleaning liners

Self-cleaning liners are fitted in some models of built-in ovens. They help reduce manual oven cleaning.

Self-cleaning liners are fitted to the side walls and back of the oven. The liners are coated with a special enamel which is porous and contains oxidising catalysts.

Any grease and dirt coming into contact with the liner is absorbed by the enamel and is broken down with the help of the oxidising catalysts at normal cooking temperatures.

As cleaning is improved by using a high temperature, it may be necessary to run the empty oven at Fan Grill, 200°C for 1 to 11/2 hours occasionally.

Important!

Do not use any detergent, abrasives or oven cleaners on self-cleaning liners.
