CLEANING THE CATALYTIC PANELS (ONLY IN SOME MODELS)

This oven could be equipped with special catalytic liners that facilitate cleaning of the cooking compartment thanks to their special self-cleaning coating, which is highly porous and able to absorb grease and grime. These panels are fitted to the shelf guides: When repositioning and then refitting the shelf guides, make sure that the hooks at the top are slotted into the appropriate holes in the panels.

To make best use of the catalytic panels’ self-cleaning properties, we recommend heating the oven to 200 °C for around one hour using the “Convection Bake” function. The oven must be empty during this time. Then leave the oven to cool down before removing any remaining food residues using a non-abrasive sponge.

Please note : Using corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents, stiff brushes, pan scourers or oven sprays could damage the catalytic surface and compromise its self-cleaning properties.Please contact our After-sales Service if you require replacement panels.
