AUTOMATIC CLEANING mode

During the AUTOMATIC CLEANING cycle, the

internal temperature of the oven reaches 500°C. The

pyrolytic cycle is activated, burning away food and

grime residues. Dirt is literally incinerated.

Keep children away from the appliance during the

automatic cleaning cycle as surfaces may become

very hot. Particles may ignite inside the oven as a

result of the combustion process. There is no cause

for concern: this process is both normal and hazard-

free.

Before activating the AUTOMATIC CLEANING cycle:

• Remove large or coarse food residues from the

inside of the oven using a damp sponge. Do not

use detergents.

• Remove all accessories.

• Do not place tea towels or pot holders over the

oven handle.

• Turn the SELECTOR knob to the “0” position.

 If the oven is too hot, the pyrolytic cycle may not

start. Wait for the oven to cool down.

 The programme may only be started once the oven

door has been closed.

To activate the AUTOMATIC CLEANING cycle press
and hold the

button for approximately 4

seconds. The TIMER KNOB may be used to select

the desired cleaning level; there are three default

time settings which cannot be modified.

1. Economy (ECO): turn the knob towards “-”.

Duration 1 hour.

2. Normal (NOR): initial level. Duration 1 hour and 30

minutes.

3. Intensive (INT): turn the knob towards “+”.

Duration 2 hours.
4. Press the

button to confirm.

An end time for the AUTOMATIC CLEANING cycle

(as for a normal cooking cycle) may be programmed

(see Programming the automatic cleaning end time).

Safety devices

• The

icon on the display, when lit, indicates

that the oven door was automatically locked as

soon as the temperature reached a high value.

• The

icon indicates that the cleaning cycle

may be cancelled at any time by pressing the

button.

• If a malfunction occurs, the heating elements will

be switched off.

• Once the oven door has been locked, you cannot

change the duration and cycle end time settings.

Programming the automatic cleaning end time

1. Press the

button until the icon and the two

digits on the DISPLAY begin to flash.

2. Turn the TIMER KNOB towards “+” and “-” to

adjust the hour value.
3. Press the

button again so that the other two

numerical digits on the DISPLAY begin to flash.

4. Turn the TIMER KNOB towards “+” and “-” to

adjust the minute value.
5. Press the

button again to confirm.

6. When the set time has elapsed, the text END

appears on the display and a buzzer sounds.

• For example: it is 9:00 a.m. and the AUTOMATIC

CLEANING Economy level has been selected,

with the default duration of 1 hour. 12:30 is

scheduled as the end time. The programme will

start automatically at 11:30 a.m.

Programming has been set when the

and

buttons are illuminated. The DISPLAY shows the

AUTOMATIC CLEANING end time and the duration

alternately.

Once the automatic cleaning cycle is over

You will have to wait until the temperature inside the

oven has cooled down sufficiently before you can

open the oven door. You will notice some white dust

deposits on the bottom and the sides of your oven;

remove these deposits with a damp sponge once

the oven has cooled down completely. Alternatively,

you can make use of the already heated oven, in

which case it is not necessary to remove the

deposits, they are completely harmless and will not

affect your food in any way.
