Cleaning catalytic enamelled
panels
Soiling from oil and fat is burnt off
catalytic enamel when very high
temperatures are used in the oven.
The higher the temperature, the more
effective the process.
Exposure to scouring agents,
abrasive brushes or sponges and
oven cleaner can cause catalytic
enamel to lose its self-cleaning
properties.
Remove the catalytic enamelled
panels before using an oven cleaner.
Removing soiling caused by spices,
sugar and similar deposits
Remove the back panel (see
"Cleaning and care – Removing the
back panel").
Wash the back panel by hand with
warm water and liquid dish soap
applied with a soft brush.
Rinse the back panel thoroughly. Let
it dry before placing it back in the
oven.
Removing oil and grease
Remove any accessories from the
oven, including the side runners.
Before starting the cleaning process,
remove any large deposits of soiling
from the inside of the door and the
PerfectClean surfaces to prevent
them burning on.
Select the Convection Bake
function and a temperature of
475°F/250°C.
Then heat the empty oven for at least
1 hour.
The length of time required will
depend on the level of soiling.
If the catalytic coating is very heavily
soiled with oil and grease, a film can
form on the surfaces of the oven
cavity during the cleaning process.
Danger of burning! Allow the
oven cavity to cool down before
cleaning by hand.
Clean the inside of the door and the
oven cavity with warm water and
liquid dish soap, applied with a clean
sponge cloth or a clean, damp
microfibre cloth.
Any remaining soiling will gradually
disappear with each subsequent use
of the oven at a high temperature.
