operations inside.

open the door.
IF THE OVEN IS INSTALLED UNDERNEATH A HOB, MAKE SURE THAT THE
BURNERS OR ELECTRIC PLATES REMAIN OFF DURING THE AUTOMATIC
CLEANING CYCLE.
10.5.1 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).
Before proceeding, check the following:
• only the baking tray and the oven tray may be left inside the oven
since they will withstand the high temperatures of the pyrolysis
process; all the other accessories must be removed from inside the
oven.
• make sure that the oven door is firmly closed.
When setting the cleaning cycle duration, refer to the chart below:
