Cleaning The Oven - Zanussi ZCE 650 Instruction Booklet

Cleaning the Oven

The oven should be kept clean at all times. A
build-up of fats or other foodstuffs could result in
a fire, especially in the grill pan.
Cleaning materials
Before using any cleaning materials on your oven, check
that they are suitable and that their use is recommended
by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives should
also be avoided.
• Never use steam or steam machines to clean the
appliance.
External cleaning
Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven door and door
seal using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to
which a little washing up liquid has been added.
To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass
panels avoid the use of the following:
• Household detergent and bleaches
• Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick
saucepans
• Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
• Chemical oven pads or aerosols
• Rust removers
• Bath/Sink stain removers
Clean the outer and inner door glass using warm soapy
water. Should the inner door glass become heavily soiled
it is recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob
Brite, or Bar Keepers Friend is used.
DO NOT clean the oven door while the glass
panels are warm. If this precaution is not
observed the glass panel may shatter.
If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has
deep scratches, the glass will be weakened and
must be replaced to prevent the possibility of the
panel shattering. Contact your local Service Centre
who will be pleased to advise further.
Models in stainless steel or aluminium:
We recommend to clean the oven door using only a wet
sponge and dry it up after cleaning with a soft cloth.
Never use steel wool, acids or abrasive products as they
can damage the oven surface.
Clean the oven control panel following the same
precautions.
Oven Shelves
To clean the oven shelves, soak in warm soapy water
and remove stubborn marks with a well wetted soap
impregnated pad. Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.

Pyrolytic cleaning
The oven cavity is coated with a special enamel resistant
to high temperatures.
During the pyrolytic cleaning process, the temperature
inside the oven can reach about 500 °C thus burning food
residuals.
For your security, during the pyrolityc cleaning process,
the oven door automatically locks when the temperature
inside the oven approaches about 300 °C.
The door remains locked during the cleaning operation
until the end of the pyrolytic cleaning function.
After the oven cavity has cooled down, the door unlocks.
The cooling fan operates during cooking until the oven
has cooled down. After each cooking, it is advisable to
remove all the food residuals with a wet sponge.
However, from time to time, it will be necessary to do a
more complete and thorough cleaning, using the pyrolytic
cleaning function. You can select two different levels of
pyrolytic cleaning depending on how dirty the oven is.
If the oven cavity is not much dirty, we recommend to
select the pyrolytic 1 function (PYr I) on the programmer
display.
It is advisable to wipe the oven over with a soft sponge
soaked in warm water after each pyrolytic cleaning cycle
is carried out.
If the oven cavity is a lot dirty, we advise you to select the
pyrolytic 2 function (PYr 2) on the programmer display.
During the pyrolytic cleaning function, it is not possible to
use the oven for 2 hours when selecting the PYr I function
and up to 2 hours and a half when the PYr 2 function is
active.
