How Stay Clean Works
Cleaning Materials to avoid
Care and Cleaning
The surface of the ‘Stay clean’ oven liners are treated on the mottled face with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220˚C (425˚F) or above, the special surface enables these soils to be slowly destroyed. The higher the temperature the more effective it is. In most cases normal cooking operation at this temperature will permit this cleaning operation to proceed during cooking. However if higher cooking temperatures are not used regularly it may be necessary, to prevent heavy soilng, to run the oven control at maximum setting for a couple of hours. This may be necessary once a month or once every two or three months depending on the type and amount of oven cooking.
Oven Liners – Sides
It should not normally be necessary to clean the ‘Stay clean’ panels in water. If desirable remove the rod shelves and the side panels and wash them in warm soapy water, followed by rinsing in clean water.
1.Plastic or nylon pads, scourers, these may scratch the surface.
2.Household abrasive powders.
3.Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads.
4.Caustic cleaners, these will etch the surface and attack the metal frame.
5.Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface.
Note: We do not recommend the use of decorative covers over the hot hotplates as these can hold condensation and cause corrosion. Accidental operation with a cover in place can cause intense heat. Never place saucepan lids on the hotplates, as this may cause corrosion.
Note: Care must be taken to ensure that the rating plate label edges are not lifted during cleaning and that the lettering is not blurred or removed.
