Using the Self Clean function (OB60SL11 models only)
During the pyrolytic Self Clean cycle the extremely high temperature burns off and breaks down
grime and grease deposits. All that is left is a small amount of grey ash that you can easily remove.
There is a choice of Self Clean cycles:
-
Self Clean (3 hours) (for normal soiling).
-
Light Self Clean (2 hours) (suitable for a light or localised soiling).
Important!
You must clean the inside glass door panel BEFORE starting a self-clean cycle. Failure to do this
may result in permanent staining or marking of the door glass.
Do not use oven cleaners, any degreasing cleaners, or oven liners.
Make sure you remove the side racks, oven shelves and trays, rotisserie and all other bakeware
and utensils from the oven before starting a Self Clean cycle. If left in the oven, they will become
permanently discoloured or damaged; items made from combustible materials (eg wood, fabric,
plastic) may even catch fire.
Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous parts.
Make sure the room is well ventilated.
Before starting a Self Clean cycle, make sure you move any pet birds to another, closed and well-
ventilated room. Some pet birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during a Self Clean
cycle, and may die if left in the same room as the oven during such a cycle.
During a Self Clean cycle, the oven reaches higher temperatures than it does for cooking. Under
such conditions, the surfaces may get hotter than usual and children should be kept away.
The oven door will be locked during the Self Clean cycle (approximately 3 hours).
If there are cracks or flaws on any of the oven door glass panes, if the oven seal is damaged or
worn, or if the door does not close properly, do not start a Self Clean cycle. Call your Authorised
Repairer or Customer Care.
To start a Self Clean cycle
1a
Remove oven shelves, side racks and all
other accessories, bakeware, and utensils.
1b
Wipe up any spills. Failure to do so may
discolour the oven surfaces.
1c
Check the inner glass pane of the oven
door (D). If it has soiling on it (eg stains
from greasy splatter), you will need to
clean it manually before starting a Self
Clean cycle. For instructions, see ‘Care and
cleaning’.
Important!
If soiling is left on the glass, it will become burnt
on during the Self Clean cycle, making it very
difficult to remove.
2
Close the oven door firmly.
