4.5 Pyrolytic self-cleaning programme
WARNUNG! The appliance must not leave unattended during the
pyrolytic self-cleaning process.
WARNUNG! The internal temperature of the oven can reach more
than 400
0
C. RISK OF BURNS!
WARNUNG! The accessible parts of the oven become hot during the
self-cleaning process, so keep children away from the operating
appliance. Touching the appliance while it is operating can cause serious
burns.
WARNING! Remove any pets from the room the oven is installed in.
During the pyrolytic self-cleaning process, pets can be very sensitive to
local temperature fluctuations and released vapours.
NOTICE! The pyrolytic self-cleaning programme must be used for the
cleaning of the oven only. No other use is permitted: it will affect your
guarantee rights.
❖ The appliance is equipped with a pyrolytic self-cleaning programme which
enables an easier cleaning of the interior of the oven.
❖ The word pyrolysis comes from the Greek (pyro = fire / heat, lysis =
dissolution / cleavage) and describes a thermo-chemical cleavage of organic
compounds by high temperatures.
❖ The pyrolytic self-cleaning programme works with intense heat. When the
pyrolytic self-cleaning programme is started, the oven heats up to more than 400
degrees Celsius (
0
C). Dirt particles are burned and remain in the oven as ash. After
cooling down, the ash can be removed easily using a microfibre cloth.
The efficiency of the pyrolytic self-cleaning programme always depends on the
degree of soiling of the oven.
