Accessories:
• Soak the accessories in water with washing up detergent immediately after use, handling them with
oven gloves if still hot.
• Food residues can be easily removed using a brush or sponge.
Cleaning the rear wall and catalytic side panels of the oven (if present):
IMPORTANT: do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents, coarse brushes, pot scourers or oven sprays
which could damage the catalytic surface and ruin its self-cleaning properties.
• Operate the oven empty with the fan-assisted function at 200°C for about one hour
• Next, leave the appliance to cool down before removing any food residue with a sponge.
Cleaning cycle of ovens with pyrolysis function (if present):
WARNING
This function burns off spatters produced inside the oven during cooking at a temperature of approx. 500°C.
At this high temperature, the deposits turn into a light ash which can be easily wiped away with a damp cloth,
when the oven is cool. Do not select the pyrolysis function after every use, only when the oven is very dirty or
produces smoke or fumes while preheating or cooking.
• If the oven is installed below a hob, make sure that all burners or electric hotplates are switched off
during the self-cleaning (pyrolysis) function.
• Remove all accessories before running the pyrolysis 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.
