Pyrolytic cleaning
of the
oven interior
Instead of cleaning the oven by hand,
you can run the Pyrolytic cleaning
programme
.
During pyrolytic cleaning the oven
compartment reaches temperatures in
excess of 400 °C. Any residual soiling is
burnt off and turned to ash by the high
temperatures.
There are 3 pyrolytic settings available,
each with a different duration. Select:
– Level 1 for light soiling
– Level 2 for heavier soiling
– Level 3 for very heavy soiling
The oven door is automatically locked
when the pyrolytic cleaning process is
started. The door cannot be opened
until after the cleaning programme has
finished.
The timer can be used to delay the start
time of the pyrolytic cleaning
programme, for instance to make use of
cheaper electricity tariffs.
At the end of the pyrolytic cleaning
programme any residues such as ash
from the pyrolytic process, which are
formed depending on the oven
compartment’s degree of soiling, can
be easily wiped away.
Preparing for pyrolytic cleaning
Accessories that are not suitable for
pyrolytic cleaning will be damaged
by the high temperatures.
Remove all accessories that are not
suitable for pyrolytic cleaning from
the oven compartment before
starting the pyrolytic cleaning
programme. This also applies to non-
pyrolytic accessories purchased
separately to the oven.
The shelf runners are suitable for
pyrolytic cleaning and are fixed to the
sides of the oven compartment. The
rack HBBR 52 is suitable for pyrolytic
cleaning and can be left in the oven
compartment during pyrolytic cleaning.
Take all non-pyrolytic accessories out
of the oven.
Place the rack on the top shelf level.
Coarse soiling in the oven
compartment can cause a heavy
accumulation of smoke which can
result in the pyrolytic cleaning
programme switching off.
Burnt-on residues can leave lasting
discolouration or matte patches on
enamelled surfaces.
Before starting the pyrolytic cleaning
programme, remove coarse soiling
from the oven compartment and
scrape any burnt-on residues off
enamelled surfaces with a glass
scraper.
