1. What is pyrolysis?
If your oven emits smoke during preheating or releases large volumes of smoke
during cooking. If your oven releases an unpleasant odour when cooled after
various cooking applications (lamb, fish, barbecue, etc.).
2. In what situations should pyrolysis be used?
You should not wait until the oven is coated in grease to initiate a
cleaning cycle.
- Pyrolysis is a cycle during which the oven cavity is heated to a very high tem-
perature in order to eliminate soiling from splattering and spills. The smoke and
odours released are destroyed as they move through a catalyzer.
- Pyrolysis is not necessary after each cooking cycle, but simply when the dirti-
ness warrants it.
- As a safety measure, the cleaning operation only begins after the door has
automatically locked. As soon as the internal temperature of the oven exceeds
cooking temperatures, it is impossible to unlock the door--even if the “function
selector” knob is turned to 0.
How do you clean the cavity of your oven?
3. How do you use the pyrolysis function?
Programming for immediate pyrolysis
a) Remove the grids and trays from the oven and clean any major spill
residue.
b) Ensure that the program-
mer is displaying the time of day and
that it is not flashing
c) Press the selector button,
then turn the selector button to the
left to the position.
