Automatic Degreasing By Catalysis; Cleaning By Catalysis - Scholtes FM 35.2 AN Bedienungsanleitung

Automatic degreasing by catalysis

On certain models, the interior panels of the oven are coated with a porous enamel, known as catalytic enamel.
This enamel coating has the property of destroying the grease spots that splash onto the oven interior during
cooking under the effect of heat.
The temperature of the oven lining panels has to be in excess of 170° for this grease "oxidation" process to take
place.
The porosity of the catalytic enamel increases the heat exchange surface necessary for the oxidation of these
grease spots to take place by catalysis.
When cooking is complete, if the interior panels of your oven are still dirty, leave the oven on and empty with the
oven door shut, and set the temperature knob to the maximum value, for 60-90 minutes, depending on the
degree of soil inside the appliance. You may also help in the removal of any large pieces of food residue or splashes
of grease using a little hot water and a soft brush.
Warning: The catalytic enamel is resistant but you should however avoid:
- scratching the surface of the enamel coating with sharp objects (such as knives, for example)
- using abrasive detergents or products.
In actual fact, the automatic degreasing properties of this enamel coating would be damaged irreversibly.
This enamel coating is resistant enough to allow for the sliding of several accessories (large grid, dripping pan,
turnspit assembly) without damaging the enamel. Do not worry if you see light white traces appear on the sliding
surfaces of these accessories.
