Pyrolysis explained
- Pyro-cleaning involves cleaning the oven by heating to a high tempera-
ture (pyrolysis) in order to remove grime and dirt inside the oven caused
by splashing or dripping during cooking. The smoke and smell this pro-
duces are removed by being passed through a catalyst.
- The oven has three pyro-clean cycles suited to all situations.
An economic cycle that lasts 1h30 (the oven is locked for 2 hours
to allow for cooling down). This cycle consumes 25% less the standard
pyro-clean cycle. When used regularly (every two or three times you cook
meat) this cycle keeps the oven clean under any conditions.
A medium cycle that lasts 1h 45 (the oven is locked for 2hours
15m to allow for cooling down). This cycle cleans dirty ovens efficiently.
A super-cleaning cycle that lasts 2 hours (the oven is locked for
2hours 30m to allow for cooling down). This cycle is for really dirty ovens.
- For safety reasons the door is automatically locked shut after about 2
minutes of pyro-cleaning
When to clean by pyrolysis
- If your oven smokes when the pre-heat feature is on or if there is a
lot of smoke during a cooking cycle run the pyrolysis cycle.
- You can also use this feature if there is an unpleasant smell of
cooking when the oven is cold.
- Do not wait until the oven is coated in dirt before cleaning it.
- It is not necessary to run the pyrolysis feature after every use of the
oven, simply when the oven is dirty.

A few hints and tips:
To keep spitting and splashing to a minimum, you should ensure that:
- You are using the correct position as recommended in
the user's guide.
- You are using the correct shelf height.
- You are using the correct temperature.
If after following these guidelines, larger pieces of meat continue spit-
ting and producing smoke, reduce the cooking temperature.
