THE OVEN: 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 sub-
stantial overflows in order to avoid the creation of flames
or smoke.
– Shut the oven door.
– Set the mode selector to
– Programme it. You can choose between
· an immediate start: same procedure as for cooking,
· a delayed start: same procedure as for cooking,
– The process takes approximately 90 minutes.
What happens during the fast clean process?
When the temperature reaches 325°C, the oven door is
automatically locked: the letter "P" comes up on the display,
along with the remaining process time, as it decreases.
The oven door stays locked for as long as the temperature
inside the oven remains high.
What happens at the end of the fast clean process?
When the fast clean process is over, "P. 0.00" comes up
on the display.To be able to open the oven door, you will
have to:
• wait for the temperature inside it to have dropped
back to an acceptable level,
• have set the mode selector knob back to " / 0".
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 does not form a source of danger to
your food.
Safety devices
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 is high in order to avoid all risks of
burns.
• the heating elements are no longer powered if an
anomaly occurs.
Notes:
1- Despite the high temperature inside the oven during the
fast clean process, the external surfaces of the appliance
remain lukewarm, thanks to:
• a reinforced insulation of the oven compartment
•a fan that ensures the circulation of air to cool down
the oven wall panels.
2- 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 take
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.

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.
TROUBLESHOOTING
DO NOT WORRY IF…
Some operating anomalies may arise. These are generally
due to incorrect handling or to the erroneous assessment
of a phenomenon.
If your oven releases a lot of smoke during cooking:
• Make sure you have selected the correct cooking mode
for the type of dish you want to prepare and that you
have selected the right accessories and put the dish in
the oven at the recommended rack height.
• Check the temperature selected: it is no doubt too high
for the type of cooking required.
• Check the degree of soil of the oven, and whether the
latter needs to be cleaned. Food residue encrusted onto
the enamel coating inside the oven becomes charred
and creates both smoke and pungent smells.
• Splashes of grease or overflows onto very hot surfaces
could crate smoke.
