Cleaning and maintenance
4.6 Vapor Clean: assisted oven
cleaning (main oven only)
Vapor Clean is an assisted
cleaning procedure which
facilitates the removal of dirt.
Thanks to this process, it is possible
to clean the inside of the oven very
easily. The dirt residues are
softened by the heat and water
vapour for easier removal
afterwards.
Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces
• Remove any food residues or large spills
from previous cooking operations from
the inside of the oven.
• Carry out assisted oven cleaning
operations only when the oven is cold.
Preliminary operations

cycle:
• Completely remove all accessories from
inside the oven. The upper guard can be
left inside the oven.
• Pour approx. 40 cc of water onto the
floor of the oven. Make sure it does not
overflow out of the cavity.
