Automatic cleaning with the FAST CLEAN function

With the FAST CLEAN mode, the internal temperature of the oven reaches 500°C. The pyrolytic cycle is activated, burning away food and grime residues. Dirt is literally incinerated.

Keep children away from the appliance during the automatic cleaning cycle as surfaces may become very hot. Particles may ignite inside the oven as a result of the combustion process. There is no cause for concern: this process is both normal and hazard-free.

Before initiating the FAST CLEAN mode:

•clean the oven door;

•remove large or coarse food residues from the inside of the oven using a damp sponge. Do not use detergents;

•remove all accessories and the sliding rack kit (where present);

•do not place tea towels or pot holders over the oven handle.

!If the oven is too hot, the pyrolytic cycle may not start. Wait for the oven to cool down.

!The programme may only be started once the oven door has been closed.
