Self Cleaning Panels
The range is equipped with 3 panels (2 sides and rear). They are attached to the sides by
removing the rack guide assembly and placing the self cleaning panels against the oven side.
The rear panel is attached with screws, ensure that the «rough» side is facing out. These liners
are «self cleaning» during the cooking. If residue remains on them after cooking, empty the oven
of food, and remove all shelves and pan, and turn the selector to Conventional oven (top and
bottom element) and 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 outwards in the oven). Because of the structure
of the surface, it is extremely porous and attracts oxygen. When the splashes of grease hit this
surface it immediately spreads. In this way, immediate oxidization of the grease occurs, and it
ultimately disappears while the oven is in general use at standard cooking temperatures. The self
cleaning panels are located on the sides and on the rear of the oven, and 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.
The self cleaning panels are manufactured using a special enamelling process.
The base of the oven should cleaned by using soapy water (see procedure on pages 22-23) with
a soft clean cloth or sponge and newspaper.
BEWARE: Never use silicone films (polish 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
Drop Down Grilling Element (in some models)
The removal of a single screw at the front of the upper grill element allows the grill to drop down
to facilitate the cleaning of the oven ceiling. On completion of cleaning, simply replace the grill
element and secure with the screw.
To avoid smoking, use a clean, damp cloth to regularly clean oil and fat splatters from
the exposed drop down grilling element.
The fan cover can be lifted out for cleaning separately by removing the retaining screws on the
rear panel. The fan blade can also be removed for cleaning if necessary.
NOTE: The fan blade nut has a left-handed thread.
