A Defrosting Using the defrost oven function you can partially- or completely and evenly defrost foods such as flans, butter, bread, fruit or other delicate foods. With this function only the fan is in operation; there is no heating. P Pyroluxe The pyroluxe function is a self-cleaning system. It works by burning left-on deposits within the oven to cinders which can easily be wiped off after the oven has cooled. For this function the oven is heated to approx. 500 °C.
