Cleaning Reminder
After a recommended period of time the oven will
remind you to clean the oven. Once this period of time
has elapsed, when turning the oven off you will get a
message "TIME TO CLEAN YOUR OVEN". Press the
on/off button to clear the message and run the Pyrolitic
cycle. After the Pyrolitic cycle has finished, the cleaning
reminder will reset. The "Cleaning Reminder" setting can
be enabled/disabled in the settings menu.
Alternatively while the "TIME TO CLEAN YOUR OVEN"
message is displayed, you can press the "ok" button
and you will get the option to "REMIND ME AGAIN".
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.
Pyrolytic cleaning will not remove limestone residue
left in the cavity well when water evaporates. It is
recommended that the residue is cleaned prior to
conducting Pyrolytic cleaning cycles. See 'Cleaning
the cavity well' on this page.
WARNING!
During the pyrolytic cleaning process the oven
becomes extremely hot.
DO NOT use Hob during Pyrolytic cleaning
• 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.
• 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 (e.g. bulky tea towels).
• Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous
items (e.g. cookware).
WARNING!
Before carrying out the Pyrolytic function
1. All accessories must be removed from the oven,
including shelves, trays and side racks.
2. Clean large deposits, spills or grease from the
oven cavity.
3. Clean limestone residue from the cavity well.
4. Choose your Pyrolytic cleaning cycle from the
following:
Soiling Duration
light clean 1hr 30mins
medium clean 2hrs
heavy clean 2hr 30mins
Note: Duration includes heat-up time, excluding
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.
Food Probe
• Clean the Food Probe after each use and let it dry.
Use a soft cloth with warm water and a cleaning
agent. Only clean the probe end and not the plug.
Cleaning the cavity well
The cleaning procedure removes limestone residue from
the cavity well after cooking with steam.
WARNING!
Perform the cleaning procedure at least every
5-10 Bake + Steam cooking cycles.
1. Mix 200ml of tap water with 150ml of white vinegar
and put the mix in the cavity well.
2. Let the water and vinegar mix dissolve the limestone
residue at the ambient temperature for 45 minutes.
3. Remove the water and vinegar mix with a soft
cloth and clean the cavity with warm water and
a soft cloth.

the door. This will only happen when safe temperatures
are reached.
When the pyrolytic cleaning function is on, it is advisable
not to use a cooktop. This may cause overheating and
damage.

damp cloth and warm water.
