  • Read carefully all the instructions for pyrolytic cleaning.

  • Keep children away from the appliance while the pyrolytic cleaning operates. The appliance becomes very hot and hot air is released from the front cooling vents.

  • Pyrolytic cleaning is a high temperature operation that can release fumes from cooking residues and construction materials, as such consumers are advised to:
    – provide good ventilation during and after the pyrolytic cleaning.
    – provide good ventilation during and after the initial preheating.

  • Do not spill or apply water on the oven door during and after the pyrolytic cleaning to avoid damaging the glass panels.

  • Keep pets away from the appliance during and after the pyrolytic cleaning and initial preheating. Small pets (especially birds and reptiles) can be highly sensitive to temperature changes and emitted fumes.

  • Non-stick surfaces on pots, pans, trays, utensils etc., can be damaged by the high temperature pyrolytic cleaning operation of all pyrolytic ovens and can be also a source for low level harmful fumes.

2.6 Internal lighting
