Automatic cleaning using the FAST
CLEAN function
With the FAST CLEAN mode, the internal temperature
of the oven reaches 500°C. The pyrolytic cycle is
activated, burning away food and grime residues. Dirt
is literally incinerated.
Keep children away from the appliance during the
automatic cleaning cycle as surfaces may become
very hot. Particles may ignite inside the oven due to the
combustion process. There is no cause for concern:
this process is both normal and hazard-free.
Before initiating the FAST CLEAN mode:
• Remove large or coarse food residues from the
inside of the oven using a damp sponge. Do not use
detergents.
• Remove all accessories.
• Do not place tea towels or pot holders over the oven
handle.
• Turn the SELECTOR knob to the “0” position.
! If the oven is too hot, the pyrolytic cycle may not start.
Wait for the oven to cool down.
! The programme may only be started once the oven
door has been closed.
! To obtain the best results from the pyrolysis cycle,
we recommend that you do not use the hob while the
process is being carried out.
To activate the FAST CLEAN cycle press and hold the
button for approximately 4 seconds. The TIMER
KNOB may be used to select the desired cleaning
level; there are three default time settings which cannot
be modified.
1. Economy (ECO): turn the knob towards “-”. Duration
1 hour.
2. Normal (NOR): initial level. Duration 1 hour and 30
minutes.
3. Intensive (INT): turn the knob towards “+”. Duration
2 hours.
4. Press the
button to confirm.
An end time for the FAST CLEAN cycle (as for a normal
cooking cycle) may be programmed (see Programming
the automatic cleaning end time
).
Safety devices
• The icon on the display, when lit, indicates
that the oven door was automatically locked as soon
as the temperature reached a high value.
• The icon indicates that the cleaning cycle
may be cancelled at any time by pressing the
button.
• If a malfunction occurs, the heating elements will be
switched off.
• Once the oven door has been locked, you cannot
change the duration and cycle end time settings.
Programming the automatic cleaning end time
1. Press the button until the icon and the two
digits on the DISPLAY begin to flash.
2. Turn the TIMER KNOB towards “+” and “-” to adjust
the hour value.
3. Press the
button again until the other two digits
on the DISPLAY begin to flash.
4. Turn the TIMER KNOB towards “+” and “-” to adjust
the minute value.
5. Press the
button again to confirm.
6. When the set time has elapsed, the text END
appears on the display and a buzzer sounds.
• For example: it is 9:00 a.m. and the Economy (ECO)
FAST CLEAN level has been selected, with the
default duration of 1 hour. 12:30 is scheduled as the
end time. The programme will start automatically at
11:30 a.m.
Programming has been set when the and
buttons are illuminated. The display shows the FAST
CLEAN end time and duration alternately.
Once the automatic cleaning cycle is over
You will have to wait until the temperature inside the
oven has cooled down sufficiently before you can open
the oven door. You will notice some white dust deposits
on the bottom and the sides of your oven; remove
these deposits with a damp sponge once the oven has
cooled down completely. Alternatively, you can make
use of the already heated oven, in which case it is not
necessary to remove the deposits, they are completely
harmless and will not affect your food in any way.
