BAKING CHARTCLEANING THE OVEN
SELF - CLEANING PANELS
89
To alleviate unnecessary odour and smoke during coking it is important to clean
your oven regularly. It is best to deal promptly with stains caused by spills during
cooking. This can be most easily achieved with a moist sponge whilst the oven is
STILL WARM. (Take care not to burn yourself).
Use warm water and liquid detergent to clean the enamel and decorative control
panel, door, etc. Dry with a soft cloth. NEVER use abrasive powder or
acid/chlorine based cleaners.
Always avoid cleaning the glass until COLD. The inner glass can be easily
removed when necessary by unscrewing the 2 locating screws with a coin. Be
careful to re-position the door gasket accurately when re-assemling after
cleaning.
Self Cleaning Panels (Part Number SPA 2) may be purchased as an optional
extra for the fan oven cavity. They are attached to the sides by removing the rack
guide assemblies and placing the self cleaning panels against the oven side
walls over the pins. Ensure that the ROUGH side is facing out. These liners are
self cleaning during the oven’s heat cycle. If residue remains on them after
cooking, empty the oven of food and turn the thermostat to MAX; 15-20 minutes
should be adequate to clean the panels using this method.
How the Self Cleaning Panels Work
The self-cleaning oven panels go through a special enamelling process which
ultimately creates a rough surface (this is the side which should face outward in
the oven).
Because of the structure of the surface, it is extremely porous and attracts
oxygen. When the stain hits this surface it immediately spreads outward. In this
way, immediate oxidisation of the stain occurs and it ultimately disappears while
the oven is in general use at standard cooking temperatures. The self cleaning
panels are designed to cope with fatty stains very efficiently. For stains on the
bottom of the oven, the usual causes are sugar or starch overflows.
BEWARE: Never use silicone films (polishes or cleaners) on self-cleaning
panels - they will be rendered useless. Similarly, NEVER try to wash with
detergent or use abrasive cleaners on the panels.
