Cleaning by Pyrolysis
SAFETY MEASURES
During pyrolysis, the temperature inside the oven reaches
450° to 500°. These high temperatures are needed for
breaking down the residues inside the oven (see above).
Your oven is therefore equipped with the following safety
devices:
• The door automatically locks as soon as the tempera-
ture reaches a certain level in order to prevent any risk of
injury by burning.
• The power for the heating elements cuts off in case
an anomaly occurs.
Comments
1. Despite the high interior temperature throughout the
pyrolysis operation, the exterior walls of the oven remain
only slightly warm, due to:
• Reinforced insulation of the cooking chamber,
• A fan which circulates air to cool the walls.
2. Looking through the oven window, you might see parti-
cles that flare up during their destruction by pyrolysis upon
contact with a heating element. This is merely a phe-
nomenon of combustion. It is perfectly normal and
poses no risk.
PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE BEFORE PYROLYSIS
1. Be sure to eliminate any large spills with a damp
sponge. We strongly advise against the use of deter-
gents or any other oven cleaning products.
2. Remove all accessories. They are not designed to
resist the high temperatures of pyrolysis. Furthermore,
some of them might obstruct the circulation of heat on the
oven walls, thus harming the performance of the opera-
tion. The accessories can easily be cleaned like regular
dishes, even in a dishwasher.
3. Do not leave dish towels on the oven handle.
Important:
During pyrolysis, the surfaces may become hot. Keep
young children away.
How to start pyrolysis:
•
Remove all accessories from the oven. Elimi-
nate large spills, in order to avoid any risk of producing
fumes or flames.
•
Close the door.
•
Set the Function Selector to .
•
Set the programme. You can choose between:
• Immediate start: same procedure as for a cooking
operation,
• Delayed start: same procedure as for a cooking
operation.
Pyrolysis usually takes about 75 minutes. It can last as
long as 75 to 100 minutes depending on how dirty the
oven is.
What happens during pyrolysis?
The
indicator light comes on when pyrolysis starts :
either immediately, or at the preset time if you have pro-
grammed a delayed start.
The indicator light is off when pyrolysis starts.
It comes on when the temperature inside the oven
reaches a certain level. It is then impossible to open
the door.
What happens at the end of pyrolysis?
The indicator light goes off and stays off.
The indicator light goes off when the temperature
inside the oven has dropped sufficiently. It is then
possible to open the door, with the Function Selector still
on .
Some white dust may remain on the bottom and walls of
the oven. Remove it with a damp sponge after the oven
has cooled completely.
If you wish to use the residual heat to start a cooking
operation, do not worry about the dust-it is harmless.
