pyrolytic cleaning of the oven cavity

(POR883 & POR881 modelS only)

Operation

If your oven has the Pyrolytic self-cleaning function, it cleans by burning off the spatters and accumulated dirt and grease from the oven cavity, at high temperature. This process produces ash which can then be wiped out of the oven cavity.

CAUTION

During the pyrolytic cleaning process the oven becomes extremely hot (approximately 500˚C).

•Please keep small children at a safe distance

•During pyrolytic cleaning the air outlet vent above the door must be kept clear of any obstruction (eg tea towels).

•It is recommended you clean your oven regularly to keep the oven in its best condition.

•Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous items

(eg cookware).

Before carrying out the Pyro function,

All accessories must be removed from the oven. This includes shelves, trays and side racks. Clean large pieces of dirt or grease from the oven cavity.

Pyrolytic Cleaning Operation (POR883 only)

There are 2 Pyro cleaning cycles you can use.

Soiling	Duration
Light clean	2hrs 00min
Normal clean	2hrs 30min

Duration includes heat-up time and cool-down time for the oven.

•Light clean

This is an energy saving cycle that can be used on a regular basis if your oven is lightly soiled. Possibly after every 2nd or 3rd time you roast meat.

•Normal clean

Use this as your regular cycle about once every 2-3 months to clean your oven.

Starting the Pyro clean function

1.Switch on the appliance by pressing “On/Off”.

2.Press “Function” as many times as necessary until the word “P1” is displayed.

3.Press “+” or “–” to choose 2hrs 00min or 2hrs 30min for the appropriate level of cleaning.

4.Press Pyro Accept to commence the cleaning process.

Pyrolytic Cleaning Operation (POR881 only)

1.The pyrolytic cleaning function can be selected by turning the function selector switch clockwise to the pyrolytic position. Use the + or – buttons on the eletronic clock to toggle between a pyrolytic cleaning time of

1:30 hours or 2:30 hours. The pyrolytic function can be stopped at any time by turning the function selector counterclockwise to the OFF position.

TIPS & INFORMATION

During Pyro cleaning the door will automatically lock when the temperature in the oven approaches 300˚C. (A padlock symbol will appear on the display.) The door will only unlock when the oven has cooled to a safe temperature. Turning the function off will not unlock the door. This will only happen when safe temperatures are reached.

Note: The cooling fan will operate at an increased speed for Pyro cleaning and will continue to run until the oven has cooled down. This is normal.

After Pyro cleaning

After cool-down you can wipe the ash out of the oven with a soft damp cloth and warm water.

To restore the enamel shine to more difficult areas, use a damp cloth with white vinegar and detergent.
