Automatic cleaning with the FAST CLEAN GB function

With the FAST CLEAN mode, the internal temperature of the oven reaches 500°C. The pyrolytic cycle is activated and burns away food and grime residues. Dirt is literally incinerated.

Keep children away from the appliance during the automatic cleaning cycle as surfaces may become very hot. Particles may ignite inside the oven due to the spontaneous combustion process. There is no cause for concern: this process is both normal and hazard-free.

Before initiating the FAST CLEAN mode:

•Remove large or coarse food residues from inside of the oven using a damp sponge. Do not use detergents.

•Remove all accessories.

•Do not place tea towels or pot holders over the oven handle.

￿If the oven is too hot, the pyrolytic cycle may not start. Wait for the oven to cool down.

￿The programme may only be started once the oven door has been closed.

To activate the Fast Clean mode, press the button; the TIME display will show the default duration of 1h30 (normal cycle) while the TEMPERATURE display will indicate "nor"; pressing the "+" button activates the intensive cycle "int", which lasts 2h; the "-" button activates the economy cycle "eco", lasting 1h.
