Pyrolytic cleaning
of the
oven interior
Instead of cleaning the oven by hand,
you can run the Pyrolytic cleaning
programme
.
During the Pyrolytic cleaning
programme the oven interior is heated
up to over 400 °C. Any residual soiling
is broken down and reduced to ash by
the high temperatures.
This oven has three levels of pyrolytic
cleaning, 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 locks automatically as
soon as the Pyrolytic cleaning
programme starts. It cannot be opened
until after the 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 can be easily
wiped away.
Setting up for the Pyrolytic cleaning
programme
The high temperatures used during
pyrolytic cleaning will damage
accessories that are not designed for
cleaning in the Pyrolytic cleaning
programme.
Please remove these accessories
from the oven interior before starting
the Pyrolytic cleaning programme.
This also applies to non-pyrolytic
accessories purchased separately to
the oven.
Take the shelf runners out (see
"Cleaning and care - Removing the
shelf runners with the FlexiClip
telescopic runners") and remove any
other accessories from the oven
cavity.
Coarse soiling in the oven
compartment can cause an
accumulation of smoke which can
lead to the Pyrolytic cleaning
programme switching off.
Burnt on residues can leave
discolouration or matt areas on
enamelled surfaces.
Before running the Pyrolytic cleaning
programme, remove coarse soiling
from the oven compartment and
loosen any burnt on residues with a
scraper suitable for use on glass.
