Self-cleaning panels PC68 - PC681 1 Left self-cleaning panel 2 Self-cleaning deflector 3 Right self-cleaning panel The self-cleaning panels are coated in a special enamel which aids progressive elimination of grease splattering and odours caused by cooking food. Precautions Avoid using anti-adhesive films [silicone] and all maintenance products, particularly harsh cleaning products. Do not knock the self-cleaning coating or use metal brushes or blunt objects to clean it. Practical advice The self-cleaning enamel will always remain clean as long as stains are not produced at a greater rate than they are eliminated. IF production of stains increases, the cleaning action will become insufficient and the self-cleaning coating will become ineffective. After cooking food which leaves a large amount of dirt and stains on the oven [e.g. roast duck}, it is necessary to heat the oven up to maximum temperature while empty. Cooking foods which do not splatter can also be an opportunity to perform this regeneration. Do not cook food which could further stain the oven before the dirt from the previous cooking has been eliminated.
