Pyrolysis Programmes
This oven can clean itself by a process known as pyrolysis, heating the cavity to a temperature of 500˚C. This will burn off the residue from spattering and spillages caused by cooking.
Pyrolytic programmes should be used when the oven smokes during preheating or cooking or if the oven smells even when cold. It is not necessary to run a pyrolytic programme after every use of the oven, as shown in the table below. Do not wait until the oven is coated in grease to run a pyrolytic programme.
Amount of residue | Type of food cooked | Frequency of pyrolysis |
|
|
|
Light | Biscuits, vegetables, pastry | Not required |
|
|
|
Medium | Meats, fish, stuffed vegetables | Every three uses. |
|
|
|
Heavy | Joints of meat on the rotisserie | After each use if there was extensive splattering |

The smoke produced by pyrolysis is broken down by passing through a catalyser.
This oven has 2 pyrolytic programmes:
Pyrolysis – 2 hour programme
Pyrolysis Eco – 1 hour 30 minute programme.
Turn the function control knob to the required programme.
The programme begins immediately. The display stops flashing and the temperature symbol lights up. Once the oven reaches temperature, the door locks shut and 
is shown on the display to indicate the door is locked.
At the end of the programme, the timer display flashes 0:00. The oven door will be locked for up to 30 minutes until the end of the cooling time.
Turn the function control knob to 0.
When the oven is cool, use a damp cloth to remove the white ashes. The oven is ready for use.
Both programmes can be run immediately or as a delayed programme by setting the end time as with normal cooking.
Please note: Before any pyrolytic programme, remove all shelves, trays and other accessories from the oven and clean up any major spills to avoid the risk of fire or excessive smoke.
Do not hang towels or cloths on the oven handle during pyrolysis.
