Catalytic Cleaning
Catalytic liners are installed within
the oven cavity. These are the matte-
finished, light-coloured panels on the
sides and/or the matte-finished panel
at the rear of the oven. They work by
collecting any grease and oil residue
during cooking.
The liner self-cleans by absorbing fats
and oils and burning them to ash,
which can then be easily removed
from the floor of the oven with a damp
cloth. The lining must be porous to be
effective. The liner may discolour with
age.
If a large amount of fat is spilled onto
the liner it may reduce its efficiency. To
overcome this problem, set the oven to
maximum temperature for about 20 -
30 minutes. After the oven has cooled,
wipe out the floor of the oven.
Manual cleaning of the catalytic liners
is not recommended. Damage will
occur if a soap-impregnated steel wool
pad or any other abrasives are used.
In addition, we do not recommend
the use of aerosol cleaners on the
liners. The walls of a catalytic liner
may become ineffective due to excess
grease. The excess grease can be
removed with a soft cloth or sponge
soaked in hot water, and the cleaning
cycle can be carried out as described
above.
Removal of the Catalytic Liner
To remove the catalytic liner, remove
the screws holding each catalytic
panel to the oven.
Cleaning the Glass Parts
• Clean the glass parts of your
appliance on a regular basis.
• Use a glass cleaner to clean the
inside and outside of the glass
parts. Then, rinse and dry them
thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Cleaning the Stainless Steel Parts (if
available)
• Clean the stainless steel parts of
your appliance on a regular basis.
• Wipe the stainless steel parts with
a soft cloth soaked in only water.
Then, dry them thoroughly with a
dry cloth.
Do not clean the stainless steel
parts while they are still hot from
cooking.
Do not leave vinegar, coffee, milk,
salt, water, lemon or tomato juice
on the stainless steel for a long time.
Cleaning Painted Surfaces (if
available)
• Spots of tomato, tomato paste,
ketchup, lemon, oil derivatives,
milk, sugary foods, sugary drinks
and coffee should be cleaned with
a cloth dipped in warm water
immediately. If these stains are not
cleaned and allowed to dry on the
surfaces they are on, they should
NOT be rubbed with hard objects
(pointed objects, steel and plastic
scouring wires, surface-damaging
dish sponge) or cleaning agents
containing high levels of alcohol,
stain removers, degreasers, surface
abrasive chemicals. Otherwise,
corrosion may occur on the powder
painted surfaces, and stains may
occur. The manufacturer will not be
held responsible for any damage
caused by the use of inappropriate
cleaning products or methods.
Removal of the Inner Glass
