Mychef disclaims any liability. 8.1.1. Cooking chamber Mychef iBAKE MAX ovens feature self-cleaning as standard (MyCare) for automatic and unattended cleaning of the cooking chamber. MyCare enables greater energy savings with less detergent consumption and fewer toxic emissions. Mychef therefore only recommends the use of CleanDuo tablets for this process.

To clean these more delicate surfaces (support of the control and the control itself) only a very soft cloth and a cleaning product for delicate surfaces should be used. Take special care with the control panel, Mychef will not be held responsible for any damage caused to this element if it is not cleaned properly.
8.1.6. Door glasses Mychef iBAKE MAX ovens are equipped with a high thermal efficiency door with three glasses to reduce heat losses to a minimum. In order to clean these three glasses and the door itself, the outer door must be opened and the clips holding the two glasses open.
Page 93
No tools are required for this process, the staples can be released with your own hands. Do not use the hand shower accessory on the door glass while it is hot, as there is a risk of breakage due to thermal shock. mychefcooking.com PRODUCT MANUAL iBAKE MAX DT.MP.IBM.2202.2...
The equipment should be rendered useless by removing the power cord and any compartment and cavity closing devices. At the end of the useful life of Mychef ovens, it is necessary to adopt all the necessary management measures to reduce the negative impact on the environment and make a more efficient use of resources, adhering to the principles of prevention and preparation for reuse, recycling, and recovery.
These periodic inspections must be carried out by an authorised service technician. The following table shows the operations to be carried out on Mychef ovens in each of the revisions. The table is circular, and after 20,000h of use or 10 years of use, the time would start to count again from the left of the table.
