CLEANING INSIDE THE GRILL ANDOVEN COMPARTMENTS
The sides and back of the grill/top oven and main
oven compartments are coated with a special
Stayclean coating. They should not be cleaned
manually.
The vitreous enamel main oven base and gr ill/top
oven base can be cleaned using normal oven
cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers
instructions are followed and that all parts are well
rinsed afterwards.
Aerosol cleaners must not come into
contact with elements or the door seal as
this may cause damage.
HINTS AND TIPS
Aerosol cleaners must not be used on
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.
Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean
surfaces may occur in time. This DOES NOT affect
the Stayclean properties in any way.
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 a meat tin when
roasting. The water and the fat juices from the joint
create excessive splattering during cooking – ev en at
normal temperatures, as well as 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 tur keys
especially benefit by this method of cooking, a llowing
the joint to cook through before the outside is over-
browned.
CLEANING THE DOOR GLASS
To prevent damaging or weakening the
door glass panels avoid the use of the
following:
· Household detergents and bleaches
· Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-
stick saucepans
· Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
· Chemical oven pads or aerosols
· Rust removers
· Bath/Sink stain removers
