Care and Cleaning
The surface of the ‘Stay clean’ oven liners are treated on the
mottled face with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs
cooking soils. At temperatures of 220˚C (425˚F) or above, the
special surface enables these soils to be slowly destroyed.
The higher the temperature the more effective it is. In most
cases normal cooking operation at this temperature will
permit this cleaning operation to proceed during cooking.
However if higher cooking temperatures are not used
regularly it may be necessary, to prevent heavy soilng,
to run the oven control at maximum setting for a couple of
hours. This may be necessary once a month or once every
two or three months depending on the type and amount of
oven cooking.
Oven Liners – Sides
It should not normally be necessary to clean the ‘Stay clean’
panels in water. If desirable remove the rod shelves and the
side panels and wash them in warm soapy water, followed by
rinsing in clean water.
1. Plastic or nylon pads, scourers, these may scratch
the surface.
2. Household abrasive powders.
3. Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads.
4. Caustic cleaners, these will etch the surface and attack
the metal frame.
5. Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface.
Note: We do not recommend the use of decorative
covers over the hot hotplates as these can hold condensation
and cause corrosion. Accidental operation with a cover in
place can cause intense heat. Never place saucepan lids on
the hotplates, as this may cause corrosion.
Note: Care must be taken to ensure that the rating plate label
edges are not lifted during cleaning and that the lettering is
not blurred or removed.
