Whirlpool AKZ 561 Maintenance, Removing the Door, Moving the TOP Heating Element Some Models only

•Remove all accessories before running the pyrolysis function.

•For optimum cleaning of the oven door, remove the worst soiling with a damp sponge before using the pyrolytic function. The appliance is equipped with 2 pyrolysis functions:

1.Energy-saving cycle (PYRO EXPRESS/ECO): which consumes approximately 25% less energy than the standard cycle. Select it at regular intervals (after cooking meat on 2 or 3 consecutive occasions).

2.Standard cycle (PYRO): which is suitable for cleaning a very dirty oven.

•In any case, after a certain number of uses and depending on how dirty the oven is, a message on the oven display advises you to run a self-cleaning cycle.

N.B.: during the pyrolysis function, the oven door will not open; it will remain locked until the temperature inside the oven has returned to an acceptably safe level.
