8.6 Pyrolysis: automatic oven cleaning
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.
If the oven is installed under a hob, make sure that the burners or electric
hotplates on the hob remain switched off during the automatic cleaning cycle.
8.6.1 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 "8.5.1
Removing guide frames".
• 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.
