11.5 Self-cleaning cycle: automatic oven cleaning
Self cleaning employs an automatic pyrolytic cleaning process which causes dirt to dissolve. Using the
self-clean cycle, the inside of the oven can be effortlessly cleaned.
When using the self-clean cycle for the first time, unpleasant odors may occur due to the normal
evaporation of the oil y residue of manufacture. This is a completel y normal phenomenon which
disappears after the first cleaning cycle.
CAUTION: Before starting the automatic self-cleaning cycle, make sure that the oven does not contain
any food, large spills or cooking utensils from previous cooking operations.
During the self-cleaning cycle the door interlock device is engaged, preventing the door from being
opened.
11.6 Before starting the self-cleaning cycle
The self-cleaning cycle can be run at any time of day or night (some consumers may wish to benefit from
the lower cost of electricity at night, if available).
Before engaging the cycle, check the following:
• all the accessories have been removed from inside the oven.
• the oven door is tightly closed.
When setting the duration of the self-cleaning cycle, refer to the chart below:
CLEANING DURATION
When the self-clean cycle is engaged, the fans are noisier because they are running at a higher speed.
This is a completel y normal, as the fans are providing more efficient dispersal of heat. At the end of the
self-cleaning cycle, the fans continue to run automaticall y to prevent overheating of the sides of the oven
chassis and the front of the oven.
