Using the Self Clean function
During the pyrolytic Self Clean cycle the extremely high temperature burns off and breaks down grime and grease deposits. All that is left is a small amount of grey ash that you can easily remove.
You can set the Self Clean cycle time between one and a half and three hours. The heavier the soiling, the longer the cleaning time required.
Important!
You must clean the inside glass door panel BEFORE starting a Self Clean cycle. Failure to do this may result in permanent staining or marking of the door glass.
Do not use oven cleaners, any degreasing cleaners, or oven liners.
Make sure you remove the side racks, oven shelves and trays, rotisserie and all other bakeware and utensils from the oven before starting a Self Clean cycle. If left in the oven, they will become permanently discoloured or damaged; items made from combustible materials (eg wood, fabric, plastic) may even catch fire.
The storage drawer will become warm during the Self Clean cycle. Do not store flammable items in the storage drawer. If possible, avoid opening the drawer during the cycle, or use oven mitts to remove items from the drawer.
Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous parts. Make sure the room is well ventilated.
Before starting a Self Clean cycle, make sure you move any pet birds to another, closed and well- ventilated room. Some pet birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during a Self Clean cycle, and may die if left in the same room as the oven during such a cycle.
During a Self Clean cycle, the oven reaches higher temperatures than it does for cooking. Under such conditions, the surfaces may get hotter than usual and children should be kept away.
The oven door will be locked during the Self Clean cycle. After the Self Clean cycle has finished, the door will remain locked until the oven has cooled to a safe temperature. This may take up to 30 minutes.
If there are cracks or flaws on any of the oven door glass panes, if the oven seal is damaged or worn, or if the door does not close properly, do not start a Self Clean cycle. Call your Authorised Repairer or Customer Care.
