9.6Pyrolysis: automatic oven cleaning (on some models only)
Pyrolysis is an automatic
During the first automatic cleaning cycle unpleasant smells may occur due to the normal evaporation of oily manufacturing substances. This is an absolutely normal phenomenon which disappears after the first cleaning cycle.
Before starting the automatic cleaning cycle, make sure that the oven does not contain any foods or large spills from previous cooking operations inside.
During the pyrolysis cycle a door interlock device makes it impossible to open the door.
IF THE OVEN IS INSTALLED UNDERNEATH A HOB, MAKE SURE THAT THE BURNERS OR ELECTRIC PLATES REMAIN OFF DURING THE AUTOMATIC CLEANING CYCLE.
9.6.1 Before starting the automatic cleaning cycle
Pyrolysis may be carried out at any time of the day or night (if you wish to benefit from the lower cost of electricity overnight).
Before proceeding, check the following:
•only the baking tray, the oven tray or the roof liner may be left inside the oven since they will withstand the high temperatures of the pyrolysis process; all the other accessories must be removed from inside the oven.
•make sure that the oven door is firmly closed.
When setting the cleaning cycle duration, refer to the chart below:
CLEANING | LIGHT DIRT | MEDIUM DIRT | HEAVY DIRT |
DURATION | 90 MIN. | 135 MIN. | 180 MIN. |
During the automatic cleaning cycle the fans make more noise because they are running at higher speed. This is an absolutely normal function, intended to provide more effective heat dispersal. At the end of the pyrolysis process, the fans continue to run automatically for long enough to prevent overheating of the sides of the cabinet and the front of the oven.
