To replace the glass pane, observe the reverse order. The markings (semicircle) on the door and the glass pane should overlap.
Instead of cleaning manually, you can clean the oven space or an enamelled baking tray using the ‘Pyrolysis’ oven feature. During pyrolysis the oven space is heated to a very high temperature. Contaminants that are present incinerate at this high temperature and only ash remains.
With average use of the oven, we recommend running the pyrolysis function once per month.
Caution!
Note! The oven space and an enamelled baking tray cannot be cleaned at the same time using the pyrolysis function. If you want to clean an enamelled baking tray using pyrolysis, then do this first (the oven space can become dirty due to the cleaning of the baking tray). Insert one baking tray at a time. After that, the oven space can be cleaned.
Caution! Do NOT clean the glass baking tray using the ‘Pyrolysis’ oven feature.
Starting the Pyrolysis function
1. Make sure the oven space is completely empty and no chunks of food and fat are present!
2. If you want to clean an enamelled baking tray first, place the special pyrolysis guide rails in position. Wipe the baking tray with a damp cloth and slide the baking tray into the oven on Level 2.
3. Turn the ‘oven function dial’ to ‘Pyrolysis’. The cleaning intensity level and time are displayed.
4. To choose the desired cleaning intensity level, press the ‘temperature button’ and turn the ‘selection dial’ to select one of three cleaning levels (one, two or three bars lit).
5. After a certain period of time, oven door will be automatically locked for your safety. The key symbol will appear on the display.
