Fast clean

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:

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.

Warning: the oven surfaces may get hot during the fast

clean process: keep children well away.

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.

•Turn the function selector "B" and set it to FAST CLEAN

•The cleaning process takes approximately 90 minutes. You can set the duration of the cleaning cycle (60 - 90 - 120 minutes) depending on the degree of soil of your oven.

•Press key 4 to start the cycle.

Just as for cooking, you can set a fast clean cycle with a delayed start.

ðThe oven door is locked automatically as soon as you start a fast clean cycle.

ðThe key indicator light flashes while the door is being locked and the cycle time gradually decreases. The indicator light stops flashing and stays on as soon as the oven door is locked.

As long as the temperature inside the oven stays below 125°C, you can unlock the oven door by pressing key 3 for 3 seconds. The door is unlocked immediately.

If you forget to relock the oven door again, the latter will be locked automatically as soon as the temperature inside the oven reaches 325°C.

What happens at the end of the fast clean cycle?

-The programmer beeps,

-and the word END comes up on the display.

Press key 4 to stop the beeping, the word END disappears and the key indicator light flashes.

You may only open the oven door after the temperature inside the oven has dropped sufficiently.

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.
