Cleaning the door glazing
The glass in the door should always be kept thoroughly clean. Use absorbent paper towel; remove
stubborn dirt with a damp sponge and ordinary detergent.
Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaners for cleaning the door glazing (e.g.: powder products, oven-
cleaner sprays, stain removers and metal scouring pads).
Do not use rough or abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven's glass doors since
they may scratch the surface and cause the glass to shatter.

Self cleaning: automatic oven cleaning
Self cleaning is an automatic high-temperature cleaning procedure which causes dirt to dissolve. Thanks
to this process, the inside of the oven can be cleaned with great ease.
During the first automatic cleaning cycle unpleasant smells may occur due to the normal evaporation of
oily manufacturing substances. This is a completely normal phenomenon which disappears after the first
cleaning cycle.
Before starting the automatic cleaning cycle, make sure that the oven does not contain any foods or
large spills from previous cooking operations.
During the self cleaning cycle a door interlock device makes it impossible to open the door.
IF THE OVEN IS INSTALLED UNDERNEATH A COOKTOP, MAKE SURE THAT THE BURNERS OR
ELECTRIC PLATES REMAIN OFF DURING THE AUTOMATIC CLEANING CYCLE.
8.7
Before starting the automatic self cleaning cycle
Self cleaning may be carried out at any time of day or night (if you wish to benefit from the lower cost of
electricity during the evening).
Before proceeding, check the following:
•
all the accessories have been removed from inside the oven.
•
the oven door is firmly closed.
When setting the cleaning cycle duration, refer to the chart below:
CLEANING DURATION
LIGHT DIRT
MEDIUM DIRT
HEAVY DIRT
90 MIN.
135 MIN.
180 MIN.
During the automatic self cleaning cycle the fans make more noise because they are running at a higher
speed. This is a completely normal function, intended to provide more effective heat dispersal. At the end
of the self cleaning process, the fans continue to run automatically in order to prevent overheating of the
sides of the cabinet and the front of the oven.
