They work by collecting any grease and oil
residue during cooking. Catalytic liners are
designed to have a working life of about
300 hours.
The liner self-cleans by absorbing fats and
oils and burning them to ash, which can
then be easily removed from the floor of
the oven with a damp cloth. The lining must
be porous to be effective. The liner may
discolour with age.
If a large amount of fat is spilled onto
the liner, it may reduce its efficiency. To
overcome this problem, set the oven to
maximum temperature for about 20 - 30
minutes. After the oven has cooled, wipe
out the floor of the oven.
Manual cleaning of the catalytic liners is not
recommended. Damage will occur if a soap-
impregnated steel wool pad or any other
abrasives are used. In addition, we do not
recommend the use of aerosol cleaners on
the liners. The walls of a catalytic liner may
become ineffective due to excess grease.
The excess grease can be removed with
a soft cloth or sponge soaked in hot water,
and the cleaning cycle can be carried out
as described above.
Removal of Catalytic Liner
To remove the catalytic liner, remove the
screws holding each catalytic panel to the
oven.
Cleaning the Ceramic Glass
Ceramic glass can hold heavy utensils but
may be broken if it is hit with a sharp object.
WARNING : Ceramic Cooktops - if the
surface is cracked, to avoid the
possibility of an electric shock, switch off
the appliance and call for service.
•
Use a cream or liquid cleaner to clean
the vitroceramic glass. Then, rinse and
dry the glass thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Do not use cleaning materials meant
for steel as they may damage the
glass.
•
If substances with a low melting point
are used in the cookware's base or
coatings, they can damage the glass-
ceramic cooktop.If plastic, tin foil, sugar
or sugary foods have fallen on the hot
glass-ceramic cooktop, please scrape
it off the hot surface as quickly and as
safely as possible. If these substances
melt, they can damage the glass-
ceramic cooktop. When you cook very
sugary items like jam, apply a layer of a
suitable protective agent beforehand if it
is possible.
•
Dust on the surface must be cleaned
with a wet cloth.
•
Any changes in colour to the ceramic
glass will not affect the structure or
durability of the ceramic and is not due
to a change in the material.
Colour changes to the ceramic glass may
be for a number of reasons:
1. Spilt food has not been cleaned off the
surface.
2. Using incorrect dishes on the hob will
erode the surface.
3. Using the wrong cleaning materials.
