SELF-CLEANING CYCLE
DESCRIPTION
In the self-cleaning cycle, the oven cavity is heated to very high temperatures to
burn off any residue on the oven interior.
After the cleaning cycle, any burnt off
residue is transformed to ash and can be easily wiped out with a damp sponge.
Spilled fruit juices may permanently discolour surfaces. This discoloration is
permanent but will not affect the efficiency of the enamel.
If the oven is not cleaned regularly, debris may become extremely difficult to remove
even with the CLEAN function.
DOOR LOCK
Due to the extremely high temperature reached in the self-cleaning function, the
door will automatically lock after 1 minute.
The lock will release once the cycle has
ended and the oven temperature has dropped below 500F (260C).
PREPARE
Before starting the CLEAN function:
‐
Remove large pieces of debris and grease deposits from the interior of the oven
cavity. Debris and grease can ignite at high temperatures.
‐
Remove all accessories from the oven. The high temperature reached during the
cycle will damage the accessories.
START CON
models:
Select Clean in the COOKING modes menu
PRO models:
set both knobs to CLEAN. NOTE: if either knob is moved from the
clean position, the cycle is aborted.
Select REGULAR or ECO cleaning mode. The regular cycle lasts longer than the
ECO cycle and therefore uses more energy.
Confirm that all accessories have been removed from oven cavity to start the
cleaning cycle.
The oven door will lock for the duration of the cycle and it will not be possible to
operate the oven.
During the clean cycle the cooling fans are constantly in operation.
The end of the cleaning cycle will be confirmed with a tone.
The oven door will remain locked until the oven temperature falls below 500F
(260C).
STOP
CON models
: touch OFF
PRO models:
move either knob from clean position.
CAUTION
The interior of the oven will still be at high temperature when the automatic lock is
released – USE MAXIMUM CAUTION TO AVOID BURNS.
If "SELF CLEAN" is accidentally selected, shut off the oven and wait for the oven
temperature to drop for the door lock to release.
