Pyrolysis : Automatic Oven Cleaning (All Models ) - Smeg F170P Manual

7.4 P
YROLYSIS
Pyrolysis is an automatic high-temperature cleaning method which
causes dirt to dissolve.
IMPORTANT : BEFORE STARTING THE AUTOMATIC CLEANING CYCLE, MAKE SURE THAT
THE OVEN IS EMPTY AND THAT THERE ARE NO FOODS OR SPILLS FROM
EARLIER COOKING OPERATIONS INSIDE.
A DOOR LOCK DEVICE PREVENTS THE DOOR BEING
OPENED.
IN CASE THE OVEN IS INSTALLED UNDER A COOKTOP,
MAKE SURE THAT DURING THE AUTOMATIC CLEANING
CYCLE ANY GAS OR ELECTRIC HOBS ARE TURNED OFF.
7.4.1 Before starting the automatic cleaning cycle
The Pyrolysis process can be performed at any time of the day or night
(to take advantage of lower night-time electricity rates).
Before proceeding, check the following:
• The baking sheet, the oven dish and the roof liner only can be left
inside the oven, since they withstand the high temperatures of the
pyrolysis process; all the other accessories must be taken out of the
oven;
• remove the most obvious traces of dirt (Pyrolysis cleaning would take
too long);
• make sure the oven door is properly closed;
• when setting the cleaning cycle, remember the following:
DURATION OF
CLEANING :
THE FIRST AUTOMATIC CLEANING CYCLE COULD CAUSE BAD SMELLS DUE
NOTE:
TO EVAPORATION OF OILY SUBSTANCES USED DURING MANUFACTURE.
THIS IS A QUITE NORMAL OCCURRENCE WHICH DISAPPEARS AFTER THE
FIRST CLEANING CYCLE.
DURING THE AUTOMATIC CLEANING CYCLE, THE FANS MAKE MORE NOISE
DUE TO GREATER ROTATION SPEED. THIS IS QUITE NORMAL AND IS
INTENDED TO FAVOUR THE ELIMINATION OF HEAT. AFTER PYROLYSIS,
VENTILATION CONTINUES AUTOMATICALLY FOR LONG ENOUGH TO PREVENT
THE CABINET WALLS AND FRONT OF THE OVEN FROM OVERHEATING.
