Safety devices
In fast clean mode, the temperature inside the oven reaches
500°, which is necessary for the destruction of food and fat
residue, as illustrated below.
Given this high temperature, your oven is fitted with some
safety devices:
•
the oven door is locked automatically as soon as
the temperature is high in order to avoid all risks of
burns.
•
the heating elements are no longer powered if an
anomaly occurs.
Notes:
1- Despite the high temperature inside the oven during the
pyrolytic self-cleaning process, the external surfaces of the
appliance remain lukewarm, thanks to:
•
a reinforced insulation of the oven compartment
•
a fan that ensures the circulation of air to cool down
the oven wall panels.
2- When looking through the oven door, you may notice some
particles that light up when they are destroyed by pyrolysis
upon contact with the heating elements: this is simply
spontaneous combustion, it is extremely normal and
without danger.
Precautions to be taken before performing the
fast clean process
1- Try to remove the larger food residue from inside the
oven using a wet sponge. We highly advise against the use
of detergents or all other products recommended for cleaning
ovens.
2- Remove all the accessories from the oven: they are
not designed to withstand such high temperatures. What's
more, some of these accessories would alter the result of
the pyrolytic self-cleaning process and obstruct the circulation
of heat inside the oven. The accessories can easily be
cleaned like everyday crockery and are dishwasher-proof.
3- Don't leave any tea towels on the oven door handle.
Warning: the oven surfaces may get hot during the fast
clean process: keep children well away.
DO NOT WORRY IF...
Some operating anomalies may arise. These are generally due to incorrect handling or to the erroneous valuation of a
phenomenon.
If your oven releases a lot of smoke during cooking:
•
Make sure you have selected the correct cooking mode for the type of dish you want to prepare and that you have
selected the right accessories and put the dish in the oven at the recommended rack height.
•
Check the temperature selected: it is no doubt too high for the type of cooking required.
•
Check the degree of soil of the oven, and whether the latter needs to be cleaned. Food residue encrusted onto the
enamel coating inside the oven becomes charred and creates both smoke and pungent smells.
•
Splashes of grease or overflows onto very hot surfaces could crate smoke.
Fast clean
How to set the cleaning process in motion
– Take all the accessories out of the oven. Remove the
toughest grease and food spots and especially all
substantial overflows in order to avoid the creation of
flames or smoke.
– Shut the oven door.
– Set the mode selector to
– Programme it. You can choose between
· an immediate start: same procedure as for cooking,
· a delayed start: same procedure as for cooking,
– The pyrolytic self-cleaning process takes approximately
90 minutes.
What happens during the fast clean process?
When the temperature reaches 325°C, the oven door is
automatically locked: the letter "P" comes up on the display,
along with the remaining process time, as it decreases.
The oven door stays locked for as long as the temperature
inside the oven remains high.
What happens at the end of the fast clean
process?
When the process is over, "P. 0.00"
To be able to open the oven door, you will have to:
wait for the temperature inside it to have dropped
•
back to an acceptable level,
•
have set the mode selector knob back to 0.
You will notice some white dust deposits on the bottom and
sides of the oven, remove them with a damp sponge when
the oven has cooled down completely.
If on the other hand you want to take advantage of the heat
accumulated during the process to start cooking, the dust
can stay where it is: it does not form a source of danger to
your food.
