Automatic cleaning with the fast clean function

When the fast clean function has been enabled, the temperature inside the oven reaches 500°C, which is necessary to burn all food residue that has built up inside it. If you look through the oven glass, you may notice some particles that light up as they are destroyed by pyrolysis upon contact with the heating elements: this is simply spontaneous combustion: it is perfectly normal and hazard-

free.

A few useful tips before automatic cleaning begins

1- Try to remove large scraps of food and caked-on dirt with a damp sponge. Avoid using detergents or any other special products recommended for oven cleaning.

2- Remove all the accessories from the oven, as these are not designed to withstand such high temperatures. In addition, some accessories could affect the efficiency of the automatic cleaning cycle by obstructing the circulation of heat along all the interior walls of the oven.The accessories can easily be washed like everyday crockery (even in your dishwasher).

3- Do not place tea towels over the oven handle.

Warning:during the automatic cleaning cycle,the surfaces

may become very hot. Keep children away from these.

How to enable the fast clean function

–Shut the oven door.

–Set the selector knob to V

–To programme the fast clean cycle time and/or cycle end time, follow the instructions provided in the para- graph entitled “Fast clean programming”. Please note that you can choose a cycle time of between 60 and 120 minutes, depending on the degree of soil in your oven.

Safety devices

Given the high temperatures reached inside it, the oven is fitted with several safety devices:

•the door is locked automatically as soon as the tem- perature exceeds a certain value, to avoid all risk of burns;

•the heating elements are no longer electrically pow- ered, as a precautionary measure, should a fault oc- cur.
