[. . . ] Splashes occur mainly when cooking roast meats and are almost always made up of fats that deposit all over the oven walls. Overspills are caused by using receptacles that are too small or by not judging the increase in volume during cooking properly; formed principally of starches and sugars, they attack the bottom of the oven in particular. HOW THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN WORKS The continuous self-cleaning oven consists of liners coated in a special enamel, which gives it its self-cleaning properties. [. . . ] A heavily encrusted oven can be beyond cleaning. In case of an accidental overspill on the bottom of the oven, dry it as soon as possible and clean the bottom with a sponge and hot water to avoid a carbonous crust forming which would be difficult to decompose by oxidation. PRODUCTS THAT MUST NEVER BE USED Do not use non-stick films (silicones) on the self-cleaning enamel, as this would make the self-cleaning coating unusable once and for all. All maintenance products, in particular detergents, are equally inadvisable. PROPERTIES OF THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN Do not use non-stick films (silicones) on the self-cleaning enamel, as this would make the self-cleaning coating unusable once and for all. All maintenance products, in particular detergents, are equally inadvisable. It always remains clean and does away with the hard work of cleaning. However, please refrain from treating it roughly or scraping it with metal brushes or blunt instruments. The splashes are oxidised as they are formed and so it is perfectly possible to cook desserts without finding any trace of the odour of the food cooked previously in them. The main cause of smoke is high temperature. Therefore, it is recommended to lower the temperature slightly. In practice, what counts in getting satisfactory results is using the right temperature for the cooking; this avoids unpleasant smoke being created which can alter the taste of the food during the cooking. It remains effective over the years and the action will be long-lasting if used in a normal way. USEFUL HINTS To maintain the self-cleaning oven in a good state of cleanliness, avoid staining it more necessary. Incrustation of the oven depends to a great extent on the cooking method; two identical roasts, cooked in the same oven, can have very different effects on the amount of oven staining. [. . . ] Now that the oven compartment is completely bare, the walls can be fitted with the selfcleaning liners. For correct assembly proceed as follows: · Attach the two side liners to the internal frames of the oven: parts "A" and "B" of fig. [. . . ]
