4. Oven cleaning and maintenance

4.1 General notes on cleaning

The lifecycle of the appliance can be extended through regular cleaning. Wait for the oven to cool before
carrying out manual cleaning operations. Never use abrasive detergents, steel wool or sharp objects for
cleaning, so as to not irreparably damage the enamelled parts. Use only water, soap or bleach-based
detergents (ammonia).
GLASS PARTS
It is advisable to clean the glass window with absorbent kitchen towel after every use of the oven. To
remove more obstinate stains, you can use a detergent-soaked sponge, well wrung out, and then rinse
with water.
OVEN WINDOW SEAL
If dirty, the seal can be cleaned with a slightly damp sponge.
ACCESSORIES
Clean accessories with a wet, soapy sponge before rinsing and drying them: avoid using abrasive
detergents.
DRIP PAN
After using the grill, remove the pan from the oven. Pour the hot fat into a container and wash the pan in
hot water, using a sponge and washing-up liquid.
If greasy residues remain, immerse the pan in water and detergent. Alternatively, you can wash the pan
in the dishwasher or use a commercial oven detergent. Never put a dirty pan back into the oven.

4.2 Pyrolysis

The oven is equipped with a pyrolyser cleaning system, which destroys food residues at high
temperature. The operation is carried out automatically by means of the programmer. The resulting
fumes are rendered "clean" by passing over a Pyrolyser wich starts as soon as cooking begins. As very
high temperatures are required by the Pyrolyser, the oven door is fitted with a safety lock. The pyrolyser
can be stopped at any time. The door cannot be opened until the safety lock is displayed.
NOTE : If a hob has been fitted above the oven, never use the gas burners or the electric hot-plates while
the Pyrolyser is working, this will prevent the hob from overheating.
TWO PYROLYTIC CYCLE are pre-set:
ECO PYROCLEAN : Cleans a moderately stained oven. Operates for a period of 90 minutes.
SUPER PYROCLEAN : Cleans a heavily stained oven. Operates for a period of 120 minutes.
Never use commercially available cleaning products on a Pyrolytic oven!
Tip : Carrying out Pyrolytic cleaning immediately after cooking allows you to take advantage of residual
heat, thus saving energy.
Before executing a pyrolytic cycle:
•Remove all the accessories from the oven because they are not able to tolerate the high
temperatures used during the pyrolytic cleaning cycle ; in particular removing grids, side racks and
the telescopic guides (refer to the chapter REMOVING GRIDS AND SIDE RACKS) . In ovens with meat
probe it is necessary, before making the cleaning cycle , close the hole with the nut provided.
•Remove any large spillages or stains as it would take too long to destroy them. Also excessively
large amounts of grease could ignite when subject to the very high temperatures of the Pyrolytic
cycle.
•Close the oven door.
•Excess spillage must be removed before cleaning.
• Clean the oven door;
• Remove large or coarse food residues from the inside of the oven using a damp sponge. Do not use
detergents;
• Remove all accessories and the sliding rack kit (where present);
• Do not place tea towels.
