Cleaning function

Use the "Pyrolytic self-cleaning" function to clean the 

cooking compartment.
You can choose from three cleaning cycles.

The dirtier the cooking compartment and the longer the 

dirt has been there, the more powerful the cleaning 

cycle should be. It is sufficient to clean the cooking 

compartment every two to three months. You can clean 

it more frequently if necessary. Cleaning requires 

approx. 2.5-4.8 kilowatt hours.

burn off.This process releases vapours, which can 

irritate the mucous membranes. While the cleaning 

function is running, keep the kitchen well ventilated. Do 

not remain in the room for long periods. Keep children 

and pets away. Follow the instructions even when using 

the Delayed start function with a delayed end time.

Before running the cleaning function

Make sure that the cooking compartment is empty. 

Remove any accessories, cookware or shelf rails from 

the cooking compartment. Please see the relevant 

section for information on how to remove the rails.
