Safety
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 reaches 125°C in order to avoid risks
of burns.
the heating elements are no longer powered if an
anomaly occurs.
Note:
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.
Fast clean
How to start the cleaning process
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.
Turn the function selector "B" and set it to FAST CLEAN
The cleaning process takes approximately 90 minutes.
You can set the duration of the cleaning cycle (60 - 90 - 120
minutes) depending on the degree of soil of your oven.
Press key 4 to start the cycle.
Just as for cooking, you can set a fast clean cycle with a
delayed start.
ð The oven door is locked automatically as soon as
you start a fast clean cycle.
ð The key indicator light flashes while the door is being
locked and the cycle time gradually decreases. The
indicator light stops flashing and stays on as soon as the
oven door is locked.
As long as the temperature inside the oven stays below
125°C, you can unlock the oven door by pressing key 3
for 3 seconds. The door is unlocked immediately.
If you forget to relock the oven door again, the latter will
be locked automatically as soon as the temperature inside
the oven reaches 325°C.
What happens at the end of the fast clean
cycle?
- The programmer beeps,
- and the word END comes up on the display.
Press key 4 to stop the beeping, the word END disappears
and the key indicator light flashes.
You may only open the oven door after the temperature inside
the oven has dropped sufficiently.
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 is completely harmless and will not
affect your food.
