8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
NEVER USE A STEAM JET FOR CLEANING THE APPLIANCE.
We recommend the use of cleaning products distributed by SMEG.
8.1 Cleaning stainless steel
To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly after
use. Let it cool first.
8.2 Ordinary daily cleaning
To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific
products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
How to use: pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse
thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.
8.3 Food stains or residues
Do not use steel sponges or sharp scrapers as they will damage the
surface.
Use normal non-abrasive products and a wooden or plastic tool if
necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre
cloth.
Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the
oven. If left to set for too long, they might damage the enamel lining of
the oven.
8.4 Cleaning the door glazing
The glass in the door should always be kept thoroughly clean. Use absorbent
kitchen roll; remove stubborn dirt with a damp sponge and an ordinary
detergent.
Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaners for cleaning the door glazing.
(e.g. powder products, oven-cleaner sprays, stain removers and metal scouring 
pads).
Do not use rough or abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers to clean the 
ovens glass doors since they may scratch the surface.

8.5 Cleaning the inside of the oven
For the best oven upkeep, clean it regularly after having allowed it to cool. 
•  Take out all removable parts.
•  Clean the oven racks with hot water and non-abrasive detergent. Rinse and
dry.
•  For easier cleaning, the door can be removed (see “9.2 Removing the
door”).
The oven should be operated at the maximum heat setting for 15/20 minutes
after use of specific products, to burn off the residues left inside the oven.

35 On pizza models only, to clean the bottom of the oven, the following operations
have to be carried out first:
Remove the cover then the base on which it is resting. The base must be lifted a
few millimetres, then pulled outwards.
Ovens with frames Ovens with runners
Lift up the edge of the lower heating element a few centimetres and clean the
bottom.
Put the pizza plate support back in place, pushing it in until it hits the back of the
oven, and push it down so that the heating element plate is embedded into the
base itself.
Ovens with frames Ovens with runners
When the operation is complete, damp parts should be dried thoroughly.

368.5.1 Removing guide frames
Removing the guide frames makes it
easier to clean the side parts, and it
also needs to be done whenever the
automatic cleaning cycle is used (only
available on some models).
•  To remove the guide frames, pull
the frame towards the inside of the
oven to unhook it from its housing
A, then slide it out of the seats at
the back B.
•  When cleaning is complete, repeat
the above procedures to put the
guide frames back in.

8.6 Pyrolysis: automatic oven cleaning (on some models only)
Pyrolysis is an automatic high-temperature cleaning procedure which causes
dirt to dissolve. Thanks to this process, it is possible to clean the inside of the
oven very easily.
During the first automatic cleaning cycle, unpleasant smells may occur due to
the normal evaporation of oily manufacturing substances. This is an absolutely
normal phenomenon which disappears after the first cleaning cycle.
Before starting the automatic cleaning cycle, make sure that the oven does not
contain any foods or large spills from previous cooking operations.
During the pyrolysis cycle, a door locking device makes it impossible to open
the door.
IF THE OVEN IS INSTALLED UNDERNEATH A HOB, MAKE SURE THAT THE
BURNERS OR ELECTRIC PLATES REMAIN OFF DURING THE AUTOMATIC
CLEANING CYCLE. 
						

							Instructions for the User
388.6.1 Before starting the automatic cleaning cycle
Pyrolysis may be carried out at any time of the day or night (if you wish to
benefit from the lower cost of electricity overnight).
•  Completely remove all accessories
from inside the oven and the roof
lining, as shown in the illustration.
•  Make sure that the oven door is
firmly closed.
Refer to the following diagram for setting the cleaning cycle duration:
CLEANING
DURATION
LIGHT DIRTMEDIUM DIRTHEAVY DIRT
90 MIN. 135 MIN. 180 MIN.
During the automatic cleaning cycle, the fans produce a more intense level of
noise due to a greater rotation speed; this is entirely normal and intended to
facilitate heat dissipation.
At the end of pyrolysis, the fans will continue to operate for long enough to avoid
overheating the walls of adjacent units and the front of the oven.

8.6.2 Setting the cleaning cycle
Turn the function selection knob to select one of the
two cleaning cycles out of   and  .
To start the cleaning cycle (Pyrolysis), press 
followed by  .
Press and hold  ; press   or   to set the
duration of the cycle between a minimum of 1h 30m
and a maximum of 3h 00m (apart from the   cycle
where the duration is set at 1h 30m).
Two minutes after the cleaning cycle (Pyrolysis)
starts, a locking device which prevents opening of
the door will be tripped. The relevant light will switch
on to indicate that the locking device has been
activated.
At the end of the cleaning cycle, the locking device
will remain active until the temperature inside the
oven has reached a safety threshold. When the oven
has cooled down, collect the residues from
automatic cleaning with a damp microfibre cloth.
To select a cleaning cycle with a delayed start,
after setting the duration press  . 
The time when the cleaning cycle will terminate will
appear on the display.
Press and hold  , and press   or   to set
the time at which you wish to terminate the cleaning
cycle.
It is not possible to select any functions once the door locking device has been
activated. Wait for   to go out.

8.7 VAPOR CLEAN: assisted oven cleaning (on some models only)
VAPOR CLEAN is an assisted cleaning procedure which facilitates the removal
of dirt. Thanks to this process, it is possible to clean the inside of the oven very
easily. The dirt residues are softened by the heat and water vapour for an easier
removal afterwards.
Before starting the assisted cleaning cycle, make sure that the oven does not
contain any foods or large spills from previous cooking operations.
Carry out assisted oven cleaning operations only when the oven is cold.
8.7.1 Before starting the assisted cleaning cycle
•  Completely remove all accessories
from inside the oven. The roof lining
can be left inside the oven.
•  Pour approx. 40cl of water onto the
floor of the oven (as shown in the
illustration). Make sure it does not
overflow out of the cavity.
