CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND GRILL COMPARTMENTS
The Stayclean surfaces in the main oven should not be cleaned manually.
The vitreous enamel base and sides in the 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 main oven panels and must not come into contact with elements or the door seal as this may cause damage.

HINTS AND TIPS
Manual cleaning of the Stayclean surface IS NOT recommended. Damage will occur if oven sprays or abrasives of any kind are used.
The Stayclean surface destroys 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.
Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean surface may occur in time. This DOES NOT affect the Stayclean properties in any way.

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
