Pyrolysis: automatic oven cleaning
(on some models only)
Pyrolysis is an automatic high-temperature cleaning procedure which
causes dirt to dissolve. Thanks to this process, it is possible to clean the
inside of the oven with great ease.
During the first automatic cleaning cycle unpleasant smells may occur due
to the normal evaporation of oily manufacturing substances. This is an
absolutely 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 inside.
During the pyrolysis cycle a door interlock device makes it impossible to
open the door.
IF THE OVEN IS INSTALLED UNDERNEATH A HOB, MAKE SURE THAT THE
BURNERS OR ELECTRIC PLATES REMAIN OFF DURING THE AUTOMATIC
CLEANING CYCLE.

Before starting the automatic cleaning cycle
Pyrolysis may be carried out at any time of the day or night (if you wish to
benefit from the lower cost of electricity overnight).
Before proceeding, check the following:
•
only the baking tray, the oven tray, the pizza plate or the cover
may be left inside the oven
since they will withstand the high
temperatures of the pyrolysis process; all the other accessories must
be removed from inside the oven.
• make sure that the oven door is firmly closed.
When setting the cleaning cycle duration, refer to the chart below:

MEDIUM DIRT

90 MIN.
135 MIN.
180 MIN.
During the automatic cleaning cycle the fans make more noise because they are
running at higher speed. This is an absolutely normal function, intended to provide
more effective heat dispersal. At the end of the pyrolysis process, the fans continue
to run automatically for long enough to prevent overheating of the sides of the
cabinet and the front of the oven.
