Self-cleaning (pyrolytic system)
During self-cleaning, the oven heats up to 905° F
(485° C). Thus, remainders from roasting, grilling or
baking are burnt up and all you have to do is wipe the
ash out of the interior.
A duration from one to three hours is at your disposal
for this mode of operation. The more extreme and the
older soiling is, the longer the cleaning time should
be.
It suffices for you to clean the interior every two to
three months. If required, cleaning more often is also
possible.

WARNING
During the elimination of soil during self-
cleaning, small amounts of Carbon Monoxide
can be created and the fiberglass insulation
could give off very small amounts of
formaldehyde during the first several cleaning
cycles. To minimize exposure to these
substances, provide good ventilation with an
open window, or use a ventilation fan or hood.

CAUTION
‒
‒ Do not clean parts or accessories in the self-
clean oven.
‒ Wipe out excessive spillage before self-
cleaning the oven.

WARNING
Severe health risk
The appliance becomes very hot during
pyrolytic cleaning. The non-stick coatings on
trays and forms are destroyed and toxic gases
are produced. Never leave trays and forms with
non-stick coatings in the oven during pyrolytic
self-cleaning. Only ever leave enameled
accessories in it.
Preparing self-cleaning
9
CAUTION
Fire risk! Loose food remainders, fat and roast
juice can catch fire. Wipe out the oven interior
with a moist cloth.
▯
Remove coarse soiling and food remainders from
the oven.
▯
Clean the door seals manually, the inside of the
door and the glass pane because the pyrolytic
cleaning process does not clean these parts.
▯
Remove all loose interior parts from the oven
interior. Refer to the section entitled "Cleaning
and care" for details of how to remove the
gridirons. There must be no objects left in the
interior.
▯
Close the oven door.

Notes
‒ For your safety, the oven door is locked at
temperatures in excess of 572° F (300°C). The
locking and unlocking process takes about
30 seconds. The

flashes during this time. Do
not try to open the oven door during this process.
‒ You can program a switch-off time if you would
like to run self-cleaning at night, for instance
(section entitled "Timer functions - switch-off
time"). The program then starts automatically.
