(Self Cleaning Function - this is not a cooking function)
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 overfl owed.
• Close the oven door and make sure that it is closed
properly.
If there are cracks or fl aws on the oven door glass (insi-
de/outside) or if the gaskets are ruined or worn or if the
door does not close perfectly, disconnect the appliance
from the electrical supply 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 fi ltered by a special catalyst in the upper part of the appliance.
• Smells and fumes produced during self cleaning are not a cause of alarm. Ade-
quate ventilation should however be provided in the room where the cooker 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 justifi es 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 a few
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 tempe-
rature has dropped below 302°F (150°C).
• The procedures for starting, stopping and completing the self cleaning cycle and
dealing with any problems are described in the following sections:
– “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
cleaning cycle the accessi-
ble parts may become hot.
Keep children away.
NEVER USE THE COOKER
WHEN THE OVEN IS OPE-
RATING IN SELF CLEANING
MODE.
DO NOT OPERATE THE TOP
BURNERS
IMPORTANT: DO NOT
OPERATE THE WARMING
DRAWER DURING THE
SELF-CLEANING CYCLE
If during self-cleaning cycle
the warming drawer control
dial has been turned ON re-
turn the dial to the OFF po-
sition. Otherwise at the end
of the self-cleaning cycle
and after having turned the
oven selector control dial to
the OFF position, the war-
ming drawer will operate.
WHEN THE SELF CLEA-
NING MODE HAS BEEN
COMPLETED: do not start
immediately a new self clea-
ning cycle on the oven.
LET THE COOKER COOL
DOWN.
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 ano-
ther closed and well ventila-
ted room.
