Burning Off your Catalytic Liners
Every ILVE oven has catalytic liners. Catalytic liners have been installed in your oven to make cleaning
easier for you. There are four liners in your oven (excluding some gas ovens) - one on either side, one at
the rear and one on the roof of the oven (Gas ovens have no Roof Liner). When your oven is in use, the
catalytic liners absorb the fat that splatters in the oven. To maintain your oven you must do a burn off on
a regular basis. This may be done weekly, monthly or yearly depending on oven usage.
Step 1: Remove excess trays and the fat filter. Wipe the door and inner glass to prevent any fat from
baking onto these surfaces.
Step 2: For Electric Ovens - Turn the oven thermostat to 200°C on the Fan Forced function (Function 8)
For Gas Ovens - Turn the oven thermostat to 200°C on the Fan Assisted function
Step 3: Leave the oven for 20 - 30 minutes with the door closed. In this time the fat absorbed on the
catalytic liners will burn off.
Step 4: Once the oven is cool you may need to wipe the base of the oven with a damp sponge to
remove the product of the burn off.
The fat filter at the rear of the oven is to protect grease and fat from building up on the fan and element.
If you are using the rotisserie or cooking anything with a high fat content, it is important to use the filter. If
you are baking or cooking anything that does not have a high fat content it is recommended to remove
the filter to prevent any build up of fat from being baked into the mesh. Clean on a regular basis with
warm soapy water and a scrubbing brush to ensure maximum performance.
For information on taking off your Oven door and Door glass please refer to your operations manual.
However, whilst you are at the class it may be a good opportunity to practise removing the door and
glass so you feel more confident when it comes time to do it at home.
