10.5 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 “11.2 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.
When the operation is complete, damp parts should be dried thoroughly.

10.6 Removing guide frames
Removing the guide frames makes it easier to clean the side parts of the oven, 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 in reverse order to put
the guide frames back in.
10.7 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 under a hob, make sure that the burners or electric
hotplates on the hob remain switched off during the automatic cleaning cycle.

							Instructions for the user
35 10.7.1 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, including the
upper guard.
•  Remove the guide frames, see “10.6
Removing guide frames”.
•  At the end of the cleaning cycle, when
the oven has cooled down, reinsert
the frames by repeating the previously
used procedure in reverse order.
•  Make sure that the oven door is firmly
closed.
In order not to damage the internal glass panel, it should be cleaned in
accordance with the usual procedure (see 8.5 Pulizia dei vetri porta) before
starting the automatic cleaning cycle. 
For very stubborn encrustations, lock the door using the pins provided and
remove the glass panel. Spray an oven cleaning product onto the glass (read
the warnings on the product); leave for 60 minutes, then rinse and dry the glass
using kitchen roll or a microfiber cloth. After carrying out these operations,
position the glass panel on the door again and remove the pins locking it.
Refer to the following diagram for setting the cleaning cycle duration:
CLEANING
DURATION
LIGHT DIRTMEDIUM DIRTHEAVY DIRT
120 MIN. 165 MIN. 210 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.
If the pyrolysis gives unsatisfactory results at minimum duration, it is
recommended to set a longer time for successive cleaning cycles. 
						

							Instructions for the user
3610.7.2 Setting the automatic cleaning cycle 
(pyrolysis - on some models only)
•  Position the oven function selector to the pyrolysis function symbol  .
•  The programmer automatically sets
the minimum duration of the cleaning
cycle (2 hours).
•  Within 5 seconds press key   or
 to increase or decrease the cycle
time (the maximum time is 3 hours
and 30 minutes). The set minutes will
be shown by the internal segments of
the clockface lighting up, while the
hours will be shown by the relevant
numbers flashing (1, 2 or 3). The
illustration shows a pyrolysis cycle of
2 hours and 30 minutes.
•  Press   to confirm the start of the pyrolysis. 
•  After setting the automatic cleaning cycle time, the oven will start to heat up
(approx. 5 seconds after the last action by the user), the oven thermostat
light will start flashing and will become steady once the oven has reached an
internal temperature of approx. 470°C.
•  The door lock light will come on and remain lit until the end of the automatic
cleaning cycle.
•  The door lock will be activated within approx. 1 minute after the last action by
the user, shown by the relevant light coming on and symbol   on the
display.
•  When pyrolysis begins, the numbers showing the hours will continue to flash
while a second hand turns anti-clockwise to indicate the time remaining until
the end of pyrolysis. The external segments of the clockface which are lit up
to indicate the minutes will go out one by one as each minute passes. 
At the end of the automatic cleaning cycle, all the numbers will flash and a
buzzer will sound to indicate the end of the cycle. The door lock light will remain
lit and it will not be possible to open the door until the temperature inside the
oven falls below 300°C. Once pyrolysis is complete, set the function selector to off.
To activate the pyrolysis cycle with delayed start, set the timer as for a normal
programmed cooking process; see “7.1.3 Programming”.

10.8 Vapor Clean: assisted 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 to make it
easier to remove them 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.
10.8.1 Before starting the assisted cleaning cycle
•  Completely remove all accessories
from inside the oven. The upper
guard can be left inside the oven. 
						

							Instructions for the user
38•  Pour approx. 40 cc of water onto the
floor of the oven (as shown in the
illustration). Make sure it does not
overflow out of the cavity.
•  Spray a water and washing up liquid
solution inside the oven using a spray
nozzle. Direct the spray against the
side walls, roof, base and deflector. 
•  At the end of this process, close the
door and set the cleaning cycle.
Do not spray excessive amounts of the water and washing up liquid solution. We
recommend spraying approx. 20 times at the most. 
						

							Instructions for the user
39 10.8.2 Setting the assisted cleaning cycle
Once the preparations have been made for the assisted cleaning cycle, proceed
as follows:
•  turn the oven function knob and the oven thermostat knob to 
 for the
Vapor Clean function;
•  set a cooking time of 18 minutes using the cooking duration procedure
described in more detail in “7.1.3 Programming”;
•  The assisted cleaning cycle will start approx. 6 seconds after the user last
makes a setting change to the electronic analogue clock.
•  At the end of the assisted cleaning cycle, the timer will switch the oven
heating elements off, the buzzer will start to sound and the numbers on the
dial will flash.
10.8.3 End of the assisted cleaning cycle
The water remaining at the end of the assisted cleaning cycle cannot be left
inside the oven for long (for example overnight).
You are advised to wear a pair of gloves during these processes.
At the end of the cleaning cycle, open the door and wipe away the less stubborn
dirt with a microfibre cloth. Use an anti-scratch sponge with brass filaments on
tougher encrustations.
We recommend removing the door as described in “11.2 Removing the door” to
facilitate access to restricted spaces. 
If the VAPOR CLEAN cycle is activated after fatty cooking processes, meat in
particular, it may be necessary to use an oven cleaning product at the end of the
cycle to completely remove any stubborn residue.
For improved hygiene and to avoid food being affected by any unpleasant
odours, we recommend that the oven is dried using a fan function at 160°C for
approximately 10 minutes. To set the function, see “6. FRONT PANEL”.
