Pyrolytic cleaning
With Pyrolytic cleaning, the oven heats up to
approximately 500 °C. This burns off residues from roasting,
grilling or baking and you only need to wipe the ashes from the
cooking compartment.
You can choose from three cleaning levels.
The heavier and older the dirt, the higher the cleaning level
should be. We recommend cleaning the cooking compartment
at least once very one to two months. Depending on useage
and what has been cooked more frequent cleaning may be
necessary. A cleaning cycle only requires approx. 2.5 - 4.7
kilowatt hours.
Important notes
For safety reasons, the oven door locks automatically. You can
only open the oven door again once the cooking compartment
has cooled down slightly. Do not attempt to push in the latch by
hand.
Do not attempt to open the oven door while the cleaning
programme is in operation. The cleaning process may be
cancelled.
The lamp is not lit in the cooking compartment during cleaning.
Level Degree of cleaning Cooking time
