Catalitic Cleaning

In some models, the most exposed internal vertical sides of the oven are coated with porous enamel, which is called catalytic enamel. When heated, this enamel destroys fat particles given off by the food. This „oxidation” of the fat particles occurs when the temperature of the sides exceeds 170°C. The porous quality of the catalytic enamel increases the surface area where the exchange vital to the oxidation of the fats takes place.

If there is still grime on the catalytic surfaces after the cooking programme has ended, leave the empty oven on with the door shut, turning the temperature adjustment knob to its maximum setting. Leave the oven like this for a period of time between 60 and 90 minutes, according to how much dirt was left inside. The cleaning process for more stubborn food residues may be quickened by using hot water and a soft brush.
