Hints and Tips
• Manual cleaning of the Catalytic liner is not
recommended. Damage will occur if soap
impregnated steel wool pads, aerosol clean-
ers and any other abrasives are used.
• Slight discolouration and polishing of the
Catalytic surface may occur in time. This
does not affect the Catalytic properties in any
way.
• Follow the recommendations in "Cooking to
reduce soilage".
Cooking to reduce soilage
Cook at the recommended temperatures.
Higher temperatures during roasting will in-
crease soilage. Try cooking to lower tempera-
tures for an increased length of time, you will
save energy and often the joint is more tender.
Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roast-
ing 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 the meat tin
when roasting. The water and the fat juices from
the joint create excessive splattering during
cooking, even 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 turkeys especially benefit by this method
of cooking, allowing the joint to cook through
before the outside is overbrowned.
Do use the roasting tin. During roasting, the fat
from the joint will be contained beneath the
trivet and therefore prevent it from splattering
onto the 'Catalytic' liner.
Cleaning the oven door
Before cleaning the oven door, we recommend
you to remove it from the oven.
Proceed as follows:
1. open the oven door completely;
2. find the hinges linking the door to the oven
(Fig. A);
3. unlock and turn the small levers located on
the two hinges (Fig. B);
4. handle the door by its left- and right-hand
sides, then slowly turn it towards the oven
until it is half-closed (Fig. C);
5. gently pull the oven door off its site (Fig. C);
6. place it on a steady plan;
Clean the oven door glass with warm soapy
water and a softh cloth only. Never use harsh
abrasives. Once the cleaning is carried out, refit
the oven door, following the procedure in re-
verse.
Stainless steel or aluminium appliances:
We recommend that the oven door is only
cleaned using a wet sponge and dried after
cleaning with a soft cloth. Never use steel wool,
acids or abrasive products as they can damage
the oven surface. Clean the oven control panel
following the same precautions.
WARNING!
DO NOT clean the oven door while the glass
panels are warm. If this precaution is not ob-
served the glass panel may shatter.
If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has
deep scratches, the glass will be weakened and
must be replaced to prevent the possibility of
the panel shattering. Contact your local Service
Centre who will be pleased to advise further.
