I
n what situations should pyrolysis be used?
You should not wait until the oven is coated in grease to initiate
a cleaning cycle.
- Pyrolysis is a cycle during which the oven cavity is heated to a very high
temperature in order to eliminate soiling from splattering and spills. The smoke
and odours released are destroyed as they move through a catalyzer.
- Pyrolysis is not necessary after each cooking cycle, but simply when the dirtiness
warrants it.
- As a safety measure, the cleaning operation only begins after the door has
automatically locked. As soon as the internal temperature of the oven exceeds
cooking temperatures, it is impossible to unlock the door - even if the "function
selector" knob is turned to 0.
H
ow do you clean the cavity of your oven?
a) Remove the grids, trays and wire shelf
supports from the oven and clean any major spill
residue.
b) Ensure that the analogue programmer displays
the time of day and that it is not flashing.
