Pyrolytic cleaning of the oven
compartment
Instead of cleaning the oven
compartment manually you can run the
Pyrolytic
function.
During pyrolytic cleaning the oven
compartment reaches temperatures in
excess of 400 °C. Any residual soiling is
burnt off and turned to ash by the high
temperatures.
There are 3 pyrolytic settings available,
each with a different duration:
- Level 1 for light soiling
- Level 2 for heavier soiling
- Level 3 for very heavy soiling
The oven door is automatically locked
when the pyrolytic cleaning process is
started. 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, which are
formed depending on the oven
compartment’s degree of soiling can be
easily wiped away.
Preparing for pyrolytic cleaning
Accessories will be damaged by the
high temperatures in pyrolytic
cleaning.
Remove all accessories from the
oven before starting the pyrolytic
cleaning programme. This also
applies to the side runners and any
optional accessories.
Coarse soiling in the oven can cause
thick smoke to develop.
Burnt-on residues can cause lasting
discolouration or dull spots on
enamelled surfaces.
Before starting the pyrolytic cleaning
programme, remove coarse soiling
from the oven and scrape any burnt-
on residues off enamelled surfaces
with a glass scraper.
Remove any accessories from the
oven compartment, including the side
runners.
