4. Oven Cleaning and Maintenance

4.1 General Notes on Cleaning

Regular cleaning extends the appliance's lifecycle. Wait for the oven to cool before performing manual cleaning operations. Never use abrasive detergents, steel wool, or sharp objects for cleaning, as they can irreparably damage enamelled parts. Use only water, soap, or bleach-based detergents (ammonia).

GLASS PARTS: Clean the glass window with absorbent kitchen towel after each use. For stubborn stains, use a detergent-soaked sponge, well wrung out, and rinse with water.

OVEN DOOR SEAL: If dirty, clean the seal with a slightly damp sponge.

ACCESSORIES: Clean accessories with a soapy sponge, rinse, and dry. Avoid abrasive detergents.

DRIP PAN: After using the grill, remove the pan from the oven. Pour hot fat into a container and wash the pan in hot water with a sponge and washing-up liquid. For stubborn greasy residues, soak the pan in water and detergent. Alternatively, wash in a 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 that destroys food residues at high temperatures. The operation is automatic via the programmer. Resulting fumes are rendered "clean" by passing over a Pyrolyser that activates as soon as cooking begins. Due to the high temperatures required, the oven door has a safety lock. The pyrolyser can be stopped at any time, but the door cannot be opened until the safety lock is displayed.

NOTE: If a hob is fitted above the oven, never use the gas burners or electric hot-plates while the Pyrolyser is working to prevent overheating of the hob.

Two PYROLYTIC CYCLES are pre-set:

• ECO PYROCLEAN: Cleans a moderately stained oven. Operates for 90 minutes.
• SUPER PYROCLEAN: Cleans a heavily stained oven. Operates for 120 minutes.

Never use commercially available cleaning products on a Pyrolytic oven!

Tip: Performing Pyrolytic cleaning immediately after cooking utilizes residual heat, saving energy.

Before executing a pyrolytic cycle:

• Remove all accessories from the oven as they cannot tolerate the high temperatures of the pyrolytic cleaning cycle. This includes grids, side racks, and telescopic guides (refer to the chapter REMOVING GRIDS AND SIDE RACKS). In ovens with a meat probe, close the hole with the provided nut if the meat probe is not used.
• Remove any large spillages or stains, as excessive grease can ignite at high temperatures.
• Close the oven door.
• Remove any excess spillage 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 inside.

Using the pyrolytic cycle:

1. Rotate the function selector to the "●" position. The display shows "ECO" or "SUP". The default time is 90 minutes, adjustable from 90 min (Eco mode) to 120 min (Sup mode) via the programmer ("+" or "-" buttons). For a very dirty oven, increase the time to 120 minutes; for a moderately dirty oven, reduce it to 90 minutes.
2. It is possible to defer the start time of the pyroclean cycle by changing the END time via the programmer.
3. After a few minutes, when the oven reaches a high temperature, the door locks automatically. The pyroclean cycle can be stopped at any time by turning the function selector back to '0' (OFF will be displayed for 3 seconds).
4. Once the pyroclean cycle is finished, it stops automatically. The display shows "End" and then "0--n" while the door is locked.
5. You can turn the function selector back to "0", but if the temperature is still high, "0--n" will be displayed to indicate the door is locked.

Use of the pyrolytic cycle in Touch Control ovens:

1. Select the pyrolysis function. The display shows "ECO" or "SUP".
2. The preset time is 90 minutes, but it can be varied from 90 min (Eco mode) to 120 min (Sup mode) using the programmer ("+" or "-" key). If the oven is very dirty, increase the time to 120 min; if it is only slightly dirty, reduce the cleaning cycle to 90 min.

4.3 Aquactiva Function

The Aquactiva procedure uses steam to help remove remaining fat and food particles from the oven.

1. Pour 300 ml of water into the Aquactiva container at the bottom of the oven.
2. Set the oven function to Static ( ● ) or Bottom ( ● ) heater.
3. Set the temperature to the Aquactiva icon ( ● ).
4. Allow the program to operate for 30 minutes.
5. After 30 minutes, switch off the program and allow the oven to cool down.
6. When the appliance is cool, clean the inner surfaces of the oven with a cloth.

Warning: Make sure that the appliance is cool before you touch it. Care must be taken with all hot surfaces as there is a risk of burns. Use distilled or drinkable water.
