CLEANING THE OVEN AND ITS ACCESSORIES
Notes
The self-cleaning function can be operated at any
time using the programmer, even overnight
(to take advantage of lower tariffs). Before
operating, take the following essential
precautions:
remove all accessories from the oven
,
including the oven fittings (racks, multifunction
drip trays, etc.).
remove larger deposits
, since these can
ignite or produce a large amount of smoke.
When the self-cleaning operation is complete and
the door can be re-opened, there may be white
deposits on the inside of the oven: allow the oven
to cool and remove any residues with a damp
sponge.
The cooling fan will continue to operate after
the oven has switched off. This is normal, and
it will switch off automatically once the oven
has cooled down to normal temperature.
USING THE SELF-CLEANING FUNCTION
- Turn the mode selector to the economic self-
cleaning position (if provided) or to the
normal self cleaning position .
In the position a time of 1h. 30 min. is
selected automatically and cannot be modified. A
delayed self- cleaning cycle can be programmed;
please refer to the instructions in the separate
Programmer Sheet, section: Selecting the End of
Cooking time.
In ovens with electronic control:
a time of
1h. 30 min. is selected automatically.
To change this time or select delayed self-
cleaning, please refer to the separate Programmer
sheet, section: Selecting the Cooking Time or
Selecting the end of Cooking Time.
In ovens without electronic control, the self-
cleaning time must be programmed. Please refer
to the separate Product Description Sheet.
The self-cleaning function can be extended to 120
minutes or more if the oven is particularly heavily
soiled.
The pilot light indicates that the oven door is
locked and remains on after the end of selected
self-cleaning time. The door cannot be re-opened
until the oven has cooled down to a normal
temperature (maximum temperature of the
cooking thermostat).
Do not attempt to unlock the oven door by force.
If the pilot light is on, wait until it switches off.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The oven does not work
Switch on the appliance again to see whether
the problem has disappeared.
Check that there is power to the appliance.
Check that the oven selector switch is not on
the O position.
Check that the temperature and function have
been selected.
Excessive smoke during operation
- Select a temperature lower than the
recommended temperature given in the
cooking chart.
- Do not use the multi-purpose drip tray as a
roasting tin.
- Clean the oven.
Steam
- When cooking food which contains a large
amount of liquid (e.g. stuffed tomatoes,
courgettes), the oven should be pre-heated
to the cooking temperature to prevent
condensation forming on the glass panels of
the oven door.
The cooling fan continues to operate after
the oven has switched off
- The Cooling Fan is an active safety device
which may continue to operate after the oven
has been switched off. This is normal and
ensures proper cooling down of the oven.
The cooling fan fails to operate
Call After Sales Service.
The oven door fails to open
- While the self-cleaning function is in operation,
the door remains locked and the pilot light
remains on. The door cannot be re-opened until
the oven has cooled down to below a normal
operating temperature (maximum temperature
of the cooking thermostat).
If the display shows the message F+ numeric
code (e.g.: F01), contact the After Sales
Service, quoting the error code displayed.
If the appliance still fails to function properly,
please call After Sales Service.
