Catalytic liners destroy splashes of food and fats when
the oven temperature is raised to around 220°C.
To aid this process it is a good idea to run the oven for
an hour or two per week, without food, to ensure
continued good performance from the Catalytic liners.
Hints and tips
• Manual cleaning of the Catalytic liner is not
recommended. Damage will occur if soap
impregnated steel wool pads, aerosol cleaners and
any other abrasives are used.
• Slight discolouration and polishing of the Catalytic
surface may occur in time. This does not affect the
Catalytic properties in any way.
• Follow the recommendations below to keep oven
soilage to a minimum.
Cooking to reduce soilage
Cook at the recommended temperatures. Higher
temperatures during roasting will increase soilage. Try
cooking to lower temperatures for an increased length
of time, you will save energy and often the joint is more
tender.
CARE OF CATALYTIC LINERS
Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting meat;
potatoes only require brushing with fat before cooking.
Extra fat in the oven during roasting will increase
splashing and soilage.
It is NOT necessary to add water to the meat tin when
roasting. The water and the fat juices from the joint cre-
ate excessive splattering during cooking, even at
normal temperatures, as well as causing condensation.
Covering joints during cooking will also prevent
splashing onto the interior surfaces; removing the
covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow extra
browning, if required. Some large joints and turkeys
especially benefit by this method of cooking, allowing
the joint to cook through before the outside is
overbrowned.
Do use the trivet in the roasting tin. During roasting,
the fat from the joint will be contained beneath the trivet
and therefore prevent it from splattering onto the
'Catalytic' liner.
CLEANING THE HINGED GRILL
This model has been fitted with a hinged top grill
element to enable you to clean the roof of the oven
easily.
Before proceeding ensure the oven is isolated from the
electricity supply. Then undo the screw which holds the
grill in place. (see Fig. 8)

Then gently pull the grill downward to allow access to
the oven roof. (see Fig. 9)

Clean the oven roof with a suitable clener and wipe dry
before replacing the hinged grill element.
Gently push up the grill element into place and firmly
screw into place the holding nut.
NOTE: Ensure the grill holding nut is firmly in place
to avoid the grill falling down during operation.
