ALL ABOUT THE SELF CLEAN MODE

This oven features a pyrolytic Self Clean cycle that takes care of the mess and grime that is traditionally associated with oven cleaning. During Self Clean the oven reaches higher temperatures than it does for cooking and this burns off and breaks down soil and grease deposits. A smoke eliminator and active venting system eradicates odour. The ash residue that remains can simply be removed from the cool oven with a damp cloth or sponge. A Self Clean cycle normally takes about 3 hours. Only one cavilty in a double oven can Self Clean at a time. When one cavity is in Self Clean mode the other cavity cannot be used for cooking.

Note : During initial operation, including the Self Clean cycle, it is normal to experience unpleasant odours. This will diminish with use. Heat, odours and small flame-ups are normal during the cleaning cycle. The extent of these will depend on the amount of soil build up in the oven. If you experience a persistant flame-up, turn the oven off and allow it to cool, remove the food soil and then restart the Self Clean cycle.

Important Safety Instructions

Wipe up any large food spills or grease deposits with paper towels in order to decrease smoke and odors.

Small amounts of harmful chemicals are given off in the Self Clean cycle from insulation and food decomposition. Significant exposure to these substances can cause cancer or reproductive harm. Venting with an extractor hood or open window and wiping out excess food spills prior to a Self Clean can minimize exposure.

Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner, oven liner or protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

Before starting a Self Clean cycle, remove the three-piece broiling system, any cookware and the oven shelves. Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous parts.

Do not clean the door or cavity seal, or use any oven cleaning products on the door seal. It is essential to the efficient operation of the oven and care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the seal.

Clean only parts recommended in this User Guide.

Using the Self Clean Mode

Select the Self Clean mode by turning the oven mode dial. ‘Self Clean’ will appear in the display.

Select the maximum temperature using the temperature dial, ‘000’ will appear in the display and this will change to when the cycle begins.

In the clock display ‘Door Lock’ and ‘Clean’ will show and the time remaining will count down.

For your safety the door lock will automatically activate once the clean mode and temperature has been selected.

At the end of the Self Clean cycle, the door will unlock and the ‘Door Lock’ display will disappear. ‘Clean’ and the ‘0.00’ will flash in the clock display and ‘Clean End’ in the mode display until the oven is returned to manual operation - To do this turn the oven mode and temperature dials to the OFF position.

To cancel the Self Clean mode before it has finished, turn the oven mode and temperature dials to the OFF position. ‘Clean Cool’ will appear in the oven mode display and the door will remain locked until the oven has cooled to a safe temperature. Do not turn the power to the appliance off as the fans are necessary to cool the oven. If the oven is cool or below the safe temperature it will return to normal operation and the clock display will show the time of day.

At the completion of the self-clean cycle, you will notice grey ash deposited inside the oven. The amount of ash in the oven is dependent on the amount of soil present in the oven before it was cleaned. When the oven is completely cooled, the bulk of theash is easily removed with a small brush or dry cloth, then wipe out the oven with a clean damp cloth and dry with a clean lint-free cloth.

Note : Please check the oven door and door glass are completely cold before wiping up any ash.
