CLEANING YOUR PYROLYTIC OVEN

Pyrolytic cleaning of the oven cavity
The oven has the Pyrolytic self-cleaning function, it
cleans by burning off the spatters and accumulated dirt
and grease from the oven liner, at high temperature. This
process produces ash which can then be wiped out of
the oven cavity.
WARNING
During the Pyrolytic cleaning process the
oven becomes extremely hot
Please keep small children at a safe distance.
Never clean non-stick baking trays and tins in the
oven during the pyrolytic cycle. High temperatures
damage the non-stick coating and poisonous gas is
released.
Do not put water into the water tank during the
cleaning procedure.
To prevent damage, do not use acids, sprays or
similar cleaning agents.
CAUTION
During pyrolytic cleaning the air outlet
exhaust above the door must be kept clear of
any obstruction (eg. bulky tea towels).
Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous
items (eg. cookware).
If you have a steam oven, do not cause the
water tank to overflow during the cleaning
cycle. This could damage the enamel.
Before carrying out the Pyrolytic function
All accessories must be removed from the oven,
including shelves, trays and side racks.
Pyro proof models are designed for side
racks and slides to remain during pyrolytic
cycle but shelves and dishes must be
removed.
Clean large deposits, spills or grease from the oven
cavity.
If you have a steam oven ensure the water tank is
empty.
Pyrolytic cleaning can release fumes that are not
harmful to humans, including infants or persons
with medical conditions, however you are strongly
advised to provide good ventilation during and after
each pyrolytic cleaning process.
Unlike humans, some birds and reptiles can be
extremely sensitive to the potential fumes emitted
during the pyrolytic cleaning process. It is strongly
advised to remove any pets (especially birds) from
the vicinity of the appliance during and after each
pyrolytic cleaning process.
Small pets can also be highly sensitive to the
localized temperature changes in the vicinity of all
pyrolytic ovens when the pyrolytic self cleaning
program is in operation.
Pyrolytic cleaning will not remove salt and
mineral residue left in the cavity well when water
evaporates. It is recommended that the residue
is cleaned prior to conducting pyrolytic cleaning
cycles. See section 'Cleaning the cavity well'.
Choose your Pyrolytic cleaning cycle from the
following:
Submenu
Application
Quick
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Normal
Duration: 2 hours
Intense
Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes
NOTE: Duration includes heat-up time, excludes
cool-down time.
Light clean
This is an energy saving cycle that can be used on a
regular basis if the oven is lightly soiled. Possibly after
every 2nd or 3rd roast.
Medium clean
Use this as the regular cycle about once every 2-3
months.
Heavy clean
When the oven is very dirty it may need a longer cycle to
clean it thoroughly. This cycle will clean the dirtiest of ovens.
