These panels do not require to be cleaned, however it is advised to periodically remove them (at least the side panels) and to wash them with tepid soapy water and then wipe off with a soft cloth.
The side panels are reversible and when the catalytic microporous enamel degrades, they can be turned to the other side.
The oven should always be cleaned after use when it has cooled down. The cavity should be cleaned using a mild detergent solution and warm water. Suitable proprietary chemical cleaners may be used after consulting with the manufactures recommendations and testing a small sample of the oven cavity. Abrasive cleaning agents or scouring pads/cloths should not be used on the cavity surface.
