8.7 Pyrolysis: automatic oven cleaning
Pyrolysis is an automatic high-temperature cleaning procedure which causes
dirt to dissolve. Thanks to this process, it is possible to clean the inside of the
oven very easily.
During the first automatic cleaning cycle, unpleasant smells may occur due to the
normal evaporation of oil y manufacturing substances. this is an absolutel y normal
phenomenon which disappears after the first cleaning cycle.
Before starting the automatic cleaning cycle, make sure that the oven does not
contain any foods or large spills from previous cooking operations.
During the pyrolysis cycle, a door locking device makes it impossible to open the
door.
IF THE OVEN IS INSTALLED UNDERNEATH A HOB, MAKE SURE THAT THE
BURNERS OR ELECTRIC PLATES REMAIN OFF DURING THE AUTOMATIC
CLEANING CYCLE.

Pyrolysis may be carried out at any time of the day or night (if you wish to benefit
from the lower cost of electricity overnight).

from inside the oven, including the
upper guard.
