Safety

In fast clean mode, the temperature inside the oven reaches 500°, which is necessary for the destruction of food and fat residue, as illustrated below.

Given this high temperature, your oven is fitted with some safety devices:

the oven door is locked automatically as soon as the temperature reaches 125°C in order to avoid risks of burns.

the heating elements are no longer powered if an anomaly occurs.

Note:

1.Despite the high temperatures inside the oven during the pyrolytic self-cleaning process, the external surfaces of the appliance remain luke warm, thanks to:

-a reinforced insulation of the oven compartment.

-a fan that ensures the circulation of air to cool down

the

oven wall panels.

2.When looking through the oven door, you may notice some particles that light up when they are destroyed by pyrolysis upon contact with the heating elements: this is simply spontaneous combustion, it is extremely normal and without danger.

Precautions to be taken before performing the fast clean process

1- Try to remove the larger food residue from inside the oven using a wet sponge. We highly advise against the use of detergents or all other products recommended for cleaning ovens.

2- Remove all the accessories from the oven: they are not designed to withstand such high temperatures. What's more, some of these accessories would alter the result of the pyrolytic self-cleaning process and obstruct the circulation of heat inside the oven. The accessories can easily be cleaned like everyday crockery and are dishwasher-proof.

3- Don't leave any tea towels on the oven door handle.

How to start the cleaning process

Take all the accessories out of the oven. Remove the toughest grease and food spots and especially all substantial overflows in order to avoid the creation of flames or smoke.

Shut the oven door.

Programme it..You can choose between:

-an immediate start

-a delayed start

The pyrolytic self-cleaning process takes approximately 90 minutes.

What happens during the fast clean process?

When the temperature reaches 325°C, the oven door is automatically locked: the letter "P" comes up on the display, along with the remaining process time, as it decreases.

The oven door stays locked for as long as the temperature inside the oven remains high.

What happens at the end of the fast clean cycle?

When the process is over, "P.0.00" comes up on the display. To be able to open the oven door, you will have to:

-wait for the temperature inside the oven to have dropped to an acceptable level.

-have to set the function control back to O.

You will notice some white dust deposits on the bottom and sides of the oven, remove them with a damp sponge when the oven has cooled down completely.

If on the other hand you want to take advantage of the heat accumulated during the process to start cooking, the dust can stay where it is: it is completely harmless and will not affect your food.

Warning: the oven surfaces may get hot during the fast

clean process: keep children well away.
