IMPORTANT NOTES:
This is not a cooking function but is only used to
clean the oven.
Before starting the self cleaning cycle:
- Take all the accessories out of the oven (drip tray
and shelves).
- Clean any traces of liquid which have overflowed.
- Close the oven door and make sure that it is
closed properly.
If there are cracks or flaws on the oven door glass
(inside/outside) or if the gaskets are ruined or worn
or if the door does not close perfectly, unplug the
appliance and contact the Service Centre.
GENERAL INFORMATION
• In this function the residual cooking greases on the inside walls of the oven cavity are
pulverised by the high temperature. The fumes produced during this process are fil-
tered by a special catalyst in the upper part of the appliance.
• Smells and fumes produced during self cleaning are not a cause of alarm. Adequate
ventilation should however be provided in the room where the range is installed, e.g.
by opening a window.
• Do not wait for the oven to be very greasy before performing this cleaning. It should not
be performed after every cooking, either, but only when the level of dirt justifies it (on
average 1 – 2 times a month depending on oven use).
• For safety reasons (high temperature of the oven cavity), when the self cleaning starts
the oven door is automatically locked by an electronic device (after about 30 seconds
on the control panel the door locked pilot light lights up). The door can no longer be
opened and is only unlocked at the end of the cleaning cycle or, stopping the cycle,
when the oven cavity has cooled to a temperature lower than 570 °F (300 °C).
• When the self cleaning function starts an internal fan starts automatically to cool the
oven walls. It only stops at the end of the cycle, when the oven cavity temperature has
dropped below 212 °F (100 °C).
• The procedures for starting, stopping and completing the self cleaning cycle and deal-
ing with any problems are described in the following chapters:
- “How to start the self cleaning cycle”
- “Problems on starting and during the self cleaning cycle”
- “How to stop the self cleaning cycle”
- “What to do when the self cleaning cycle has finished”
- “Abnormal situations and/or operating problems”
CAUTION: During the self clean-
ing cycle the accessible parts
may become hot. Keep children
away.

IMPORTANT:
The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes
given off during the self-cleaning
cycle.
Exposure to the fumes may result
in death to certain birds.
Always move birds to another
closed and well ventilated room.
