CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Important: never clean the appliance with high
pressure water or steam cleaning equipment.
Exterior of the oven
•
Clean with a damp cloth. If it is very dirty, add a
few drops of washing up detergent to the water.
Wipe with a dry cloth.
•
Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents,
which dull the surface.
In the event of one of these products coming into
contact with the oven, clean it immediately using
a damp cloth.
•
Slight differences in colour on the front of the
appliance are determined by the different
materials used, such as glass, plastic and metal.
Ovens with aluminium front panel
•
Clean using a delicate detergent and a soft
window cleaning cloth or a microfibre cloth that
does not leave fibres on the surface. Wipe
horizontally, without exerting pressure.
•
Do not use corrosive products, hard sponges or
rough cloths. Clean the aluminium surfaces with
a dry cloth.
Accessories
•
Soak the accessories in water with washing up
detergent immediately after use. Food residues
can be easily removed using a brush or sponge.
Self-cleaning function (pyrolysis)
Your oven is self-cleaning. It does this by burning off
the fat spatters produced inside the oven during
cooking at a temperature of approx.
500°C. At this high temperature, the deposits turn
into a light ash which can be easily wiped away with
a damp cloth, when the oven is cool.
•
It is not necessary to select the pyrolytic function
after every use, only when the oven is very dirty.
•
If the oven is fitted under a hob, make sure that
during the self-clean cycle (pyrolysis) all burners
or electric hotplates are turned off.
•
Remove all accessories before running the
pyrolytic function.
•
For optimum cleaning of the oven door, remove
the worst soiling with a damp sponge before
using the pyrolytic function.
•
To make this function more efficient, the oven
has 2 pyrolytic cleaning cycles:
- an energy saving one (PYRO EXPRESS) which
consumes 25% less energy than the standard
cycle. Used after the second or third time you
cook meat, this feature will ensure the oven
remains clean.
- a standard one (PYRO), suitable for cleaning a
very dirty oven.
6th Sense models automatically detect how dirty
the inside of the oven is and set the ideal cleaning
time.
•
As a safety measure, the oven door locks
automatically after selecting the pyrolytic cycle.
Due to the very high temperature inside the
appliance during the self-cleaning cycle, the oven
door will not open even by turning the selector
to 0.
When to clean by pyrolysis
If your oven smokes during pre-heating or if there
is a lot of smoke during a cooking cycle, run the
pyrolytic cycle. You can also use this function if
there is an unpleasant smell after cooking various
foods (lamb, fish, grilled food…)
