CLEANING THE GRILL PAN, GRILL PAN GRID, AND OVEN SHELVES

All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can be washed in the dishwasher.

The grill pan, grill pan grid, and oven shelves may be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad. The grill pan grid should be cleaned using hot soapy water. Soaking first in soapy water will make cleaning easier.

CLEANING INSIDE THE GRILL / OVEN COMPARTMENTS

The sides of the main oven are coated with special Stayclean linings.

The Stayclean linings should not be cleaned manually.

The vitreous enamel main oven base, back panel, interior main oven door and top oven/ grill compartment can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.

Aerosol cleaners must not be used on the Stayclean linings and must not come into contact with elements as this may cause damage.

For advice on how to keep the Stayclean linings in good condition see 'Care of Stayclean Surfaces'.

CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES

Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and fats when the oven temperature is raised to around 220°C.

It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two per week to ensure continued good performance from the Stayclean finish.

Do use the trivet in the roasting tin. During roasting, the fat from the joint will be contained beneath the trivet and therefore prevent it from splashing onto the Stayclean finish.

HINTS AND TIPS

Manual cleaning of the Stayclean linings IS NOT recommended. Damage will occur if oven sprays or abrasives of any kind are used.

Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean linings may occur in time. This does not affect the Stayclean properties in any way.

A good time to allow the oven to run on is after the weekly roast. After removing the roast, turn the oven up to 220°C and allow to run for an hour or so. It is important NOT to allow a build-up of soilage as this can prevent the Stayclean from working.

Follow the recommendations below to keep oven soilage to a minimum.

Cook at the recommended temperatures. Higher temperatures during roasting will increase soilage. Try cooking at lower temperatures for an increased length of time, you will save energy and often the joint is more tender.

Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting meat, potatoes only require brushing with fat before cooking. Extra fat in the oven during roasting will increase splashing and soilage.

It is NOT necessary to add water to the meat tin when roasting. The water and the fat juices from the joint create excessive splattering during cooking - even at normal temperatures, as well

las causing condensation.

Covering joints during cooking will also prevent splashing onto the interior surfaces. Removing the covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow extra browning if required. Some large joints and turkeys especially benefit by this method of cooking, allowing the joint to cook through before the outside is over-browned.
