Catalytic cleaning
In some models, the most exposed internal vertical sides of the oven are coated with porous enamel, which is called
catalytic enamel. When heated, this enamel destroys fat particles given off by the food. This "oxidation" of the fat
particles occurs when the temperature of the sides exceeds 170°C. The porous quality of the catalytic enamel
increases the surface area where the exchange vital to the oxidation of the fats takes place.
If there is still grime on the catalytic surfaces after the cooking programme has ended, leave the empty oven on with
the door shut, turning the temperature adjustment knob to its maximum setting. Leave the oven like this for a period
of time between 60 and 90 minutes, according to how much dirt was left inside. The cleaning process for more
stubborn food residues may be quickened by using hot water and a soft brush.
Caution: Scholtès catalytic enamel is particularly strong, however we recommend you avoid the following:
- Scratching the enamel coating with sharp objects (knives, for example).
- Using abrasive products or detergents.
The above actions could damage the self-cleaning properties of the enamel beyond repair. This enamel is fairly
strong, enabling various accessories (large rack, drip tray, rotisserie kit) to slide across it without the sides being
damaged. There is no need to worry if the accessories slide along the sides, leaving white marks on the surfaces.
