Pyrolytic self-cleaning
Risk of burns from hot surfaces!
The appliance front gets hotter than during normal operation. There is likely to be
some smoke given off for a short period of time so ventilate the room during pyro-
lysis. Do not leave the appliance unattended.
Roughly remove grease and oil deposits and baked-on deposits beforehand. Do
not use any chemical cleaning agents. Residues of cleaning agents can cause
chemical reactions, destroy the enamel and give off poisonous fumes.
In pyrolytic self-cleaning, any soiling is burned off at a high temperature. Afterwards the
deposits can easily be removed with a damp cloth. Over time with use the cooking
space can turn matt. Fruit acid and fatty acid deposits can leave stains. This will not af-
fect the cooking or baking characteristics of the appliance nor affect its functioning.
Pyrolytic self-cleaning – including cooling down – takes 3–5 hours depending on
the degree of soiling.
As long as the temperature is over 300 °C, the illumination and the heatable appli-
ance drawer turn off and cannot be turned back on.
Selecting and starting pyrolytic self-cleaning
Damage to accessories from self-cleaning!
Remove accessories, shelf guides, fully extending runners, cookware and any
other objects from out of the cooking space. Otherwise they can become discol-
oured and their surface rough. The rolling properties of full extension roller runners
deteriorate.
