Do not cover oven liners with foil as this may irreversibly damage the enamel liner.
Do not use scourers, steel wool or other abrasives on oven liners.
The exterior surface of Hoover ovens are finished with a special anti-fingerprint coating. Stainless steel and glazed surfaces can also be cleaned with lukewarm water and washing up liquid, or with specialist products provided that they do not contain abrasive properties that could damage the surface.
The oven door should be left to cool down before it is cleaned otherwise the cleaning medium and cloth may cook or melt onto the surface and be very difficult to remove.
The door glass should be wiped clean after every use with an absorbent kitchen paper towel. Heavy splattering can be removed with a sponge.

Pour any liquids into a container then wash and rinse in hot water with washing up liquid. Some difficult to remove residues may need a soak in hot water and washing up liquid.
The new A Class enamel is completely water and dirt repellent. Its ultra smooth surface does not allow dirt to adhere. It is basically non-stick. Simply wipe over with a non-abrasive cloth immersed in a warm soapy water solution.
This liner self cleans by absorbing fats and oils and burning them to ash. Use a damp cloth to remove any ash on the base of the oven (see image below)
The liner may discolour with age and should a large amount of fat be spilled onto the liner it may affect its efficiency. To overcome this problem set the oven to maximum temperature for about 10 - 20 minutes. Catalytic liners are designed for a working life of about 300 hours.
If the walls of a catalytic liner are no longer effective, remove the surplus grease with a soft cloth or sponge soaked in hot water. The lining must be porous to be effective. Set the oven to maximum temperature for 20 minutes. Catalytic liners are designed for a working life of about 300 hours.
This is a self-cleaning oven programme of about 2 hours at approximately 480°C. The door is locked during this process. When the process is finished and the oven cools to what is in effect a hot cooking oven of about 180°C the door is unlocked.
The door is multi-glazed and should not be too hot to touch on the outside. When the oven is sufficiently cooled down the ash that has formed at the bottom can be wiped away with a damp cloth (see image below).
Vitreous enamel liners can be cleaned with non abrasive cleaners. Check on the label to make sure it is approved by the Vitreous Enamel Development Council.
