Pyrolytic Cleaning The Oven - Electrolux EVE602 User Manual

PYROLYTIC CLEANING THE OVEN

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 salt and mineral
residue left in the cavity well when water evaporates.
It is recommended that the residue is cleaned prior
to conducting pyrolytic cleaning cycles. See section
'Cleaning the cavity well'.
WARNING
During the pyrolytic cleaning process the oven
becomes extremely hot.
• 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 (eg. bulky tea towels).
• Do not use the oven to clean miscellaneous
items (eg. cookware).
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. Ensure the cavity well is free of limestone scaling
(refer to cleaning the cavity well chapter)
4. Choose the Pyrolytic cleaning cycle from
the following:
Cleaning level
C1 - Quick
C2 - Normal
C3 - Intense
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.
duration
1 hour 30 minutes
2 hours
2 hours 30 minutes
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.
Pyrolytic Cleaning Operation
The pyrolytic cleaning function can be selected by turning
the function selector switch clockwise to the pyrolytic
+ –
position. Use or to select a pyrolytic cleaning time
of 1:30 hours or 2:30 hours. The pyrolytic function can
be stopped at any time by turning the function selector
counterclockwise to the OFF position.
IMPORTANT
During Pyrolytic cleaning the door will
automatically lock and
display. During the pyrolytic cleaning cycle there
may be some burn off odours. It is advised to keep
the room well ventilated during this cycle.
When the pyrolytic cleaning function is on, it is advisable
not to use a cooktop if it is fitted above the oven. This
could cause overheating and damage to both appliances.
The door will only unlock when the oven has cooled to a
safe temperature. Turning the function off will not unlock
the door. This will only happen when safe temperature
is reached.
NOTE: The cooling fan will operate at an increased speed
for Pyrolytic cleaning and will continue to run until the oven
has cooled down. This is normal. It is recommended to
clean the oven regularly to keep it in its best condition.
After Pyrolytic cleaning
After cool-down, wipe the ash out of the oven with a soft
damp cloth and warm water.
To restore the enamel shine to more difficult areas, use a
damp cloth with vinegar and detergent.
CAUTION
Do not turn off the mains power supply to the
oven during the pyrolytic cycle. This could
damage the appliance.
