SAFETY MEASURES
During pyrolysis, the temperature inside the oven
reaches 450° to 500°. These high temperatures are
needed for breaking down the residues inside the oven
(see above).
Your oven is therefore equipped with the following
safety devices:
• The door automatically locks as soon as the tem-
perature reaches a certain level in order to prevent any
risk of injury by burning.
• The power for the heating elements cuts off in case
an anomaly occurs.
Comments
1 - Despite the high interior temperature throughout the
pyrolysis operation, the exterior walls of the oven re-
main only slightly warm, due to:
• Reinforced insulation of the cooking chamber,
• A fan which circulates air to cool the walls.
2 - Looking through the oven window, you might see
particles that flare up during their destruction by pyroly-
sis upon contact with a heating element. This is merely
a phenomenon of combustion. It is perfectly nor-
mal and poses no risk.
PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE BEFORE PYROLYSIS
1 - Be sure to eliminate any large spills with a damp
sponge. We strongly advise against the use of deter-
gents or any other oven cleaning products.
2 - Remove all accessories. They are not designed to
resist the high temperatures of pyrolysis. Furthermore,
some of them might obstruct the circulation of heat on
the oven walls, thus harming the performance of the
operation. The accessories can easily be cleaned like
regular dishes, even in a dishwasher.
3 - Do not leave dish towels on the oven handle.
Important:
During pyrolysis, the surfaces may become hot. Keep
young children away.

Cleaning by Pyrolysis
How to start pyrolysis:
- Remove all accessories from the oven. Eliminate
large spills, in order to avoid any risk of producing
fumes or flames.
- Close the door.
- Set the Function Selector to
- Set the programme. You can choose between:
• Immediate start: same procedure as for a cooking
operation,
• Delayed start: same procedure as for a cooking
operation.
Pyrolysis usually takes about 75 minutes. It can last as
long as 75 to 100 minutes depending on how dirty the
oven is.
What happens during pyrolysis?
The
either immediately, or
at the preset time if you have programmed a delayed
start.

reaches a certain level. It is then impossible to open
the door.
What happens at the end of pyrolysis?
The
The

sible to open the door, with the Function Selector still on
Some white dust may remain on the bottom and walls of
the oven. Remove it with a damp sponge after the oven
has cooled completely.
If you wish to use the residual heat to start a cooking
operation, do not worry about the dust—it is harmless.
