Care and cleaning

What? How? Important!

Side catalytic panels

If you roast or grill a lot of meat and hardly ever bake, heating an empty oven for 60-90 mins at 250oC on Bake from time to time will help the panels to break down any greasy soiling.

To remove large food particles: gently wash the panels in warm soapy water. Rinse in clean water and allow to dry naturally.

If the panels become oversaturated, they will appear shiny and their ability to ‘self-clean’ will be reduced. In this event, they can be reversed.

These panels are normally ‘self-cleaning’ because their special enamel breaks down greasy splatters when the oven is used for ‘non-greasy’ baking, especially at high temperatures.

Never use scourers, brushes, abrasives or cleaners with acid or alkali content on the catalytic panels.

Fat filter	If lightly soiled: wash in dishwasher
	(normal cycle).
	If heavily soiled:
1	Place under water in a pan.
2	Add two tablespoons of clothes
	washing powder.
3	Bring to the boil.
4	Leave to soak for 30 minutes.
5	Rinse in clean water and dry.

Clean after every use. If the filter is not cleaned, the grease build-up will block and shorten the life of the fan element.

See ‘Using the fat filter’ in ‘Oven functions’ for instructions on removing and replacing the fat filter.

Rubber seal	Wipe very gently with a damp cloth
framing the	and mild detergent.

Take care not to unhook and displace the rubber seal while cleaning it.

Take care not to spray any oven cleaner or other caustic cleaner on the rubber seal, as doing so may damage the rubber.
