Cleaning and care

Catalytic enamel surfaces

The back panel and the roof liner and side liners (if fitted) are coated with dark grey catalytic enamel. Soiling from oil and fat is burnt off these surfaces when very high temperatures are used in the oven. The higher the temperature, the more effective the process.

The catalytic coating becomes ineffective through using

–abrasive cleaning agents,

–hard brushes or abrasive sponges,

–oven sprays.

Remove the catalytic back panel and any side and roof panels from the oven before cleaning the PerfectClean oven surfaces with oven spray.

Note that deposits of spices, syrups and similar substances are not removed from the catalytic coating by this process. These should be removed by hand whilst still fresh, using a mild solution of hot water and washing up liquid applied with a soft sponge or brush. Remove the panels from the oven to do this.

Soiling caused by oil and grease splashes are removed from catalytic coated surfaces when the oven is heated to a high temperature. To do this:

^Take all accessories out of the oven.

^Wipe large deposits of soiling from the oven interior and the inside of the door before starting the cleaning process to avoid them baking onto

PerfectClean surfaces and becoming impossible to remove.

^Select Fan plus Y.

^Set the highest temperature setting.

Run the oven for approx. 1 hour. The length of time will depend on the level of soiling.

On models with a clock/timer, you can set this procedure to finish automatically; see the appropriate section.

Any remaining soiling will gradually disappear with each subsequent use of the oven at high temperatures.

If the catalytic coated panels are very heavily soiled with oil and grease, a film will develop on the oven surface during the cleaning process which can be wiped off with warm water and a little washing up liquid once cool.

^Finally, clean the PerfectClean surfaces and the inside of the door.

Should the catalytic coating on the back panel or the roof liner become ineffective through improper use or heavy soiling, a replacement can be obtained from your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts dept.
