Catalitic Cleaning*
In some models, the most exposed internal vertical
sides of the oven are coated with porous enamel,
which is called catalytic enamel. When heated, this
enamel destroys fat particles given off by the food.
This "oxidation" of the fat particles occurs when the
temperature of the sides exceeds 170°C. The porous
quality of the catalytic enamel increases the surface
area where the exchange vital to the oxidation of the
fats takes place.
If there is still grime on the catalytic surfaces after
the cooking programme has ended, leave the empty
oven on with the door shut, turning the temperature
adjustment knob to its maximum setting. Leave the
oven like this for a period of time between 60 and 90
minutes, according to how much dirt was left inside.
The cleaning process for more stubborn food
residues may be quickened by using hot water and
a soft brush.
