How ‘Stayclean’ Works

Cleaning the

Exterior of the

Cooker

Remove the rod shelves and meat pan.

Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod shelves, meat pan and the floor of the oven.

The surface of the ‘Stayclean’ oven liners are treated on the mottled face with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220oC (425oF) 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 cook- ing 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 soiling, to run the oven without a meat pan 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 ‘Stayclean’ panels in water. If desirable, remove the rod shelves and the side panels and wash them in warm soapy water, followed by a rinse in clean water.

The outside of the cooker should be cleaned regularly to keep it looking like new. Wipe over with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water and dry with a soft clean cloth.

You can use mild non-abrasive cleaners but always read the manufacturer’s instructions first.

Always test their suitability on a small area of the cooker not noticable in normal use.

NOTE: Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners which may

scratch the surface.

Wear protective gloves when cleaning any part of your cooker.
