Combined Washing & Rinsing Aid for Ovens – 5 Litre

A combined washing and rinsing aid designed for professional ovens, this 5 litre solution dissolves burnt-on grease and smoke residues without abrasive scrubbing. The alkaline formula breaks down carbonised deposits by softening them through chemical action, allowing heat and steam to lift the dirt from oven walls and racks.

The process begins by shaking the container to ensure even distribution of active agents. For manual cleaning, the oven is first brought to a moderate temperature of 40-50 °C to prevent thermal shock. The undiluted liquid is applied directly to the interior surfaces, coating the areas where grease and smoke have accumulated. The oven door is then closed to contain the fumes and allow the solution to penetrate the residue. After a short dwell time, the oven's cooking function is activated at 50-60 °C, generating steam that helps loosen the softened deposits. The final step involves rinsing the surfaces thoroughly with water to remove any remaining cleaner and residue.

For ovens equipped with an automatic cleaning system, the product is delivered via a tube inserted into the can, following the manufacturer's specific instructions. The door seals must be wiped with a damp cloth after cleaning to prevent any residue from damaging the rubber.

The 5 litre volume provides sufficient capacity for multiple cleaning cycles in a busy kitchen, reducing the frequency of replenishment. The container is sized for easy handling and storage in professional cleaning cupboards or under worktops.

Construction is a single 5 litre plastic can with a secure screw cap, designed for safe storage of alkaline solutions. The label includes usage instructions and safety warnings for professional environments.

Controls are limited to the cap, which must be tightly closed after use to prevent spills and preserve the product's effectiveness.
