Pyrolytic cleaning
of the
oven interior
Instead of cleaning the oven manually
you can run the Pyrolytic cleaning pro-
gramme
.
During pyrolytic cleaning the oven in-
terior is heated up to over 400 °C. Any
residual soiling is broken down and re-
duced to ash by the high temperatures.
This oven has three levels of pyrolytic
cleaning, each with a different duration.
Select:
– Level 1 for light soiling
– Level 2 for heavier soiling
– Level 3 for very heavy soiling
The oven door locks automatically as
soon as the Pyrolytic cleaning pro-
gramme starts. It cannot be opened un-
til after the programme has finished.
The timer can be used to delay the start
of pyrolytic cleaning, for instance to
make use of cheaper electricity tariffs.
At the end of pyrolytic cleaning any
residues such as ash from the pyrolytic
process can be easily wiped away.
Setting up for pyrolytic cleaning
Remove all accessories as well as
the runners and any extra accessor-
ies such as FlexiClip runners from
the oven interior before starting the
Pyrolytic cleaning programme.
The high temperatures needed for
pyrolysis will damage them.
Take the side runners out (see
"Cleaning and care – Removing the
side runners with FlexiClip runners"")
and remove any other accessories
from the oven cavity.
Coarse soiling in the oven compart-
ment can cause an accumulation of
smoke which can lead to the pyro-
lytic cleaning programme switching
off.
Burnt on residues can leave discol-
ouration or matt areas on enamelled
surfaces.
Before running the pyrolytic cleaning
programme, remove coarse soiling
from the oven compartment and
loosen any burnt on residues with a
scraper suitable for use on glass.
