Using The Self Clean Function - DCS WODV230 User Manual

During the pyrolytic Self Clean cycle the extremely high temperature burns off and
● ●
breaks down grime and grease deposits. All that is left is a small amount of grey ash that
you can easily remove.
There is a choice of two Self Clean cycles:
● ●
- Self Clean (5 hours) (for normal soiling).
- Light Self Clean (4 hours) (suitable for a light or localised soiling).
Double oven models only:
Only one oven can be self-cleaned at a time.
● ●
During the Self clean cycle you cannot use the other oven or set Automatic cooking.
● ●
IMPORTANT!
You must clean the inside glass door panel BEFORE starting a self-clean cycle. Failure
● ●
to do this may result in permanent staining or marking of the door glass.
Do not use oven cleaners, any degreasing cleaners, or oven liners.
● ●
Make sure you remove the side racks, oven shelves and trays and all other bakeware
● ●
and utensils from the oven before starting a Self Clean cycle. If left in the oven, they
will become permanently discoloured or damaged; items made from combustible
materials (eg wood, fabric, plastic) may even catch fire.
Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous parts.
● ●
Make sure the room is well ventilated.
● ●
Before starting a Self Clean cycle, make sure you move any pet birds to another, closed
● ●
and well-ventilated room. Some pet birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes given
off during a Self Clean cycle, and may die if left in the same room as the oven during
such a cycle.
During a Self Clean cycle, the oven reaches higher temperatures than it does for
● ●
cooking. Under such conditions, the surfaces may get hotter than usual and children
should be kept away.
The oven door will be locked during the Self Clean cycle (approximately 3 hours).
● ●
If there are cracks or flaws on any of the oven door glass panes, if the oven seal is
● ●
damaged or worn, or if the door does not close properly, do not start a Self Clean
cycle. Call your Authorised Repairer or Customer Care.
To start a Self Clean cycle
1 Remove oven shelves, side racks and all
other accessories, bakeware, and
utensils.
2 Wipe up any spills. Failure to do so may
discolour the oven surfaces.
3 Check the inner glass pane of the oven
door. If it has soiling on it (eg stains
from greasy splatter), you will need to
clean it manually before starting a Self
Clean cycle. For instructions, see 'Care
and cleaning'.
IMPORTANT!
If soiling is left on the glass, it
● ●
will become burnt on during the
Self Clean cycle, making it very
difficult to remove.
4 Close the oven door firmly.
