13.6 Door glass
The door glass should always be kept clean. Use absorbent kitchen paper to clean. In case of tough
spots, clean with a damp sponge using regular detergent.
When cleaning, the appliance must be dried thoroughly since detergent and water drips might damage
its operation and appearance.
13.7 Pyrolysis: automatic oven cleaning
Pyrolysis is an automatic cleaning procedure at high temperatures which destroys all types of dirt.
Before starting the automatic cleaning cycle, make sure that the oven does not contain any foods or
large spills from previous cooking operations inside.
A closure device on the door prevents it from being opened whilst cleaning is in progress.
If the oven is installed under the hob, check that the burners or electric plates remain switched off throughout all the
automatic cleaning cycle.
13.8 Before starting the automatic cleaning cycle
The automatic pyrolysis cleaning cycle can be programmed at any time of the day or night (to take
advantage of any electricity cheap rates).
• Only the pastry tray, the drip tray and the top protection may be left in the oven as they resist the high
temperatures of the pyrolysis; all other accessories must be removed from the oven;
• remove the heaviest traces of dirt (as otherwise the pyrolysis cleaning would take too long);
• check that the oven door is properly closed;
• programme the duration of the cycle bearing the table below in consideration:
SLIGHTLY DIRTY
AVERAGELY DIRTY
VERY DIRTY
CLEANING DURATION:
90 MIN.
120 MIN.
180 MIN.
During the first automatic cleaning cycles, it is possible that unpleasant odours will be released: these
are due to the evaporation of oily production materials. This is entirely normal and will disappear after
the first cleaning cycle.
During the automatic cleaning cycle, the air fan makes a more intense noise which is due to the increase
in their rotation speed. This is a normal result of the facilitation of heat dispersal. At the end of the
pyrolysis, the ventilation automatically continues for the amount of time necessary to avoid the walls of
the units and the front of the oven overheating.
13.9 Programming the automatic cleaning cycle
Turn the function selector to the
symbol to start the pyrolysis cycle. After the orange light of the thermostat
has lit up and a few minutes have elapsed, the red «door-block» light also comes on to indicate that the door
of the appliance has been locked owing to the high temperature inside the oven.
When the function selector moves to
the display will show the
symbol: this means that the pyrolysis
cycle will start immediately and will last one and a half hours. It is possible to prolong the duration of the
pyrolysis up to a maximum of 3 hours. To do so, after the cycle has started press the
key and within a few
seconds key in the variation of value
or
. A few seconds after the last keying, the display will show the
letter
P
followed by the duration of the pyrolysis which has just been programmed, and A will stop flashing.
After the pyrolysis has started and after having made any changes to the duration as described above, it is
also possible to programme the finishing time of the cleaning cycle.
Press the
key. On the display, A will begin to flash and the total of the current time and the duration of the
pyrolysis cycle will be displayed. (Example: Current time: 12.10 - Programmed duration: 2.00 - Time shown:
14.10). Now use the keys to change the
or
values to programme the time of the end of the cleaning
cycle. A few seconds after the last keying, the display will show the current time and the orange light will go out
and then come back on at the pre-selected time.
Note: do not leave anything in the oven during the pyrolysis cycle. Keep children away and take care above all when
the start of the cycle is postponed.
