Smeg FP850APZ manual Cleaning the internal door glazing, Pyrolysis automatic oven cleaning

Instructions for the User

To clean the bottom of the oven, proceed as follows with the oven cold.

•Remove the pizza plate and then the base to which it is fixed (Fig. 1). Lift the base a few mm and then extract it from the oven.

•Now lift the end of the heating element next to the door of the oven and clean the bottom. When the operation is complete, damp parts should be dried thoroughly.

•The oven should be operated at the maximum heat setting for 15/20 minutes after use of specific products, to burn off the residues left inside the oven.

•The pizza plate must be washed separately;

•Before cleaning, remove any dirt burnt onto the stone with the aid of a metal spatula or a scraper of the kind used for cleaning ceramic hobs;

•For best results, the stone must still be warm; otherwise, wash it in hot water;

•Use metal mesh or non-abrasive scouring pads, dipped in lemon or vinegar;

•Never use detergents;

•Never wash in the dishwasher;

•Never leave the stone to soak;

•The damp stone must not be used for a least 8 hours after the end of the cleaning procedures;

•Over time, slight cracks may appear on the surface of the stone. This is due to the normal expansion of the stone's finishing glazes at high temperatures.

•To put the pizza plate base back in place, push it firmly down against the oven's bottom panel and ensure it engages with the plate of the pizza heating element (detail A Fig. 2)

11.5 Cleaning the internal door glazing

The internal glass in the door should always be kept thoroughly clean. In case of stubborn dirt, the glass can be removed following the instructions provided in point “12.3 Removing the inside glass with the door cold”, and washed separately with a wet sponge and ordinary detergent.

11.6 Pyrolysis: automatic oven cleaning

Pyrolysis is an automatic high-temperature cleaning procedure which causes dirt to dissolve.

Before starting the automatic cleaning cycle, make sure that the oven does not contain any foods or large spills from previous cooking operations inside.

A door interlock device means that the door cannot be opened during the procedure.

IF THE OVEN IS INSTALLED UNDERNEATH A HOB, MAKE SURE THAT THE BURNERS OR ELECTRIC PLATES REMAIN OFF DURING THE AUTOMATIC CLEANING CYCLE.
