Pyrolysis: automatic oven cleaning (on some models only)
Pyrolysis is an automatic high-temperature cleaning procedure which causes dirt to dissolve. Thanks to
this process, it is possible to clean the inside of the oven with great ease.
During the first automatic cleaning cycle, unpleasant odours may occur due to the normal evaporation of
oily manufacturing substances. This is an absolutely normal phenomenon which disappears after the first
cleaning cycle.
Before starting the automatic cleaning cycle, make sure that the oven does not contain any foods or
large spills from previous cooking operations.
During the pyrolysis cycle, a door locking device makes it impossible to open the door.
9.6.1 Before starting the automatic cleaning cycle
Pyrolysis may be carried out at any time of the day or night (if you wish to benefit from the lower cost of
electricity overnight).
• Completely remove all accessories from inside the
oven. The roof liner is not considered an accessory and
must therefore be kept inside the oven.
• Remove the guide frames, see “9.5.1 Removing guide
frames and self-cleaning panels (where present)”.
In order not to damage the internal glass panel
, it should be cleaned in accordance with the usual
procedure (see 9.5.3 Cleaning the door glazing) before starting the automatic cleaning cycle.
For very stubborn encrustations, lock the door using the pins provided and remove the glass panel.
Spray an oven cleaning product onto the glass (read the warnings on the product); leave for 60 minutes,
then rinse and dry the glass using kitchen roll or a microfiber cloth. After carrying out these operations,
position the glass panel on the door again and remove the pins locking it.
• At the end of the cleaning cycle, when the oven has cooled down, reinsert the frames by repeating
the previously used procedure in reverse order.
• Make sure that the oven door is firmly closed.
• Refer to the following diagram for setting the cleaning cycle duration:
CLEANING DURATION
LIGHT DIRT
MEDIUM DIRT
HEAVY DIRT
90 MIN.
135 MIN.
180 MIN.
During the automatic cleaning cycle, the fans produce a more intense level of noise due to a greater
rotation speed; this is entirely normal and intended to facilitate heat dissipation.
At the end of pyrolysis, the fans will continue to operate for long enough to avoid overheating the walls of
adjacent units and the front of the oven.
