CLEANING YOUR PYROLYTIC OVEN

PYROLYTIC CLEANING THE OVEN
Pyrolytic cleaning of the oven cavity
The oven has the Pyrolytic self-cleaning function. It
cleans by burning o 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 clockwise to the Menu
position. Use + or - to select Cleaning and then to select
a pyrolytic cleaning time of 1:30hours, 1hour, 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
will appear on the 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.
