HINTS AND TIPS · Manual cleaning of the Stayclean surfaces IS NOT recommended. Damage will occur if abrasives or aerosol sprays of any kind are used. Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean surfaces may occur in time. After removing the roast, turn the oven up to 220°C and allow to run for an hour or so.
