Pyrolytic cleaning of the oven interior
Before starting a pyrolytic cleaning
process please note the following:
Remove any coarse soiling from the
oven before you start.
Clean the inside of the door (glass).
There is a fibre-glass door seal
around the oven cavity.
This seal is particularly sensitive and
should not be cleaned unless
absolutely necessary. Rubbing can
damage it.
Remove all accessories from the
oven interior before starting the
pyrolytic cleaning process. This also
applies to the FlexiClip runners,
shelf runners and any optional
accessories. The high temperatures
needed for pyrolysis will damage the
accessories.
The oven door gets much hotter
during pyrolytic operation than
during normal use.
Make sure children cannot touch the
oven whilst a pyrolytic programme is
running. Danger of burning.
During the pyrolytic process the oven is
heated to over 400 °C. Any residual
soiling is broken down and reduced to
ash by the high temperatures.
The pyrolytic programme duration will
vary depending on the level of soiling.
For safety reasons the oven door is
automatically locked at the beginning
of the pyrolytic programme.
At the end of the programme it will not
be unlocked until the temperature
inside the oven has dropped to below
280 °C.
If the pyrolitic cleaning programme has
been started by mistake or if the
process is interrupted, the door lock will
be released:
– immediately if the temperature is
below 280 °C.
– not until the oven interior temperature
is below 280 °C if the temperature
inside the oven is higher than
280 °C.
Starting a pyrolytic process
^ Take all accessories out of the oven.
^ Select the "Pyrolitic" function.
^ Start the pyrolytic cleaning process.
The door will lock.
You can delay the start of the
pyrolytic process for example, to take
advantage of cheaper night electricity
tarifs. To do this:
^ Select "Start time" and select a time
to start the programme at.
You can change the start time if you
wish at any time up until the delay
period has elapsed.
At the end of the programme a buzzer
will sound and the message
"Programme finished" will appear in the
display.
^ Switch off the oven.
