USING THE SELF CLEAN FUNCTION
Using Self Clean
Self Clean uses extremely high temperatures to break down and burn off grease and grime.
All that is left is a small amount of grey ash that you can easily wipe up.
There are two self clean cycles:
z
Standard Clean: 4 hours, for normal or heavy soiling
z
Light Clean: 3 hours, for light or localised soiling
IMPORTANT!
z
You must clean the inside glass door panel BEFORE starting a self-clean cycle. Failure
to do this may result in permanent staining or marking of the door glass.
See ‘Care and cleaning’ for our recommendations on how to do this.
z
Do not use oven cleaners, any degreasing cleaners, or oven liners.
z
Remove all oven shelves, trays, bakeware and utensils from the oven before starting
a self clean cycle (except side racks). If left in the oven they will be permanently
damaged; items made from combustible material (eg wood, fabric, plastic) may
even catch fire.
z
Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous parts.
z
Make sure the room is well ventilated.
z
Before starting a Self Clean cycle, make sure you move any pet birds to another,
closed and well-ventilated room. Some pet birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes
given off during a Self Clean cycle, and may die if left in the same room as the oven
during such a cycle.
z
During a Self Clean cycle, the oven reaches higher temperatures than it does for
cooking. Under such conditions, the surfaces may get hotter than usual and children
should be kept away.
z
The oven door will be locked during the Self Clean cycle.
z
If there are cracks or flaws on any of the oven door glass panes, if the oven seal is
damaged or worn, or if the door does not close properly, do not start a Self Clean
cycle. Call your Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.
Before you start
1 Remove all oven shelves and any other accessories, bakeware, and utensils.
Note: you do not need to remove the side racks.
2 Wipe up any spills, and along the inner edge of the oven surface around the seal. Failure
to do so may discolour the oven surface.
IMPORTANT!
Avoid cleaning the seal itself as this may cause damage.
3 Check the inner glass pane of the oven door. If it has soiling on it (eg stains from greasy
splatter), you will need to clean it manually before starting a Self Clean cycle.
For instructions, see ‘Care and cleaning’.
IMPORTANT!
z
If soiling is left on the glass, it will become burnt on during the Self Clean cycle, making
it very difficult to remove.
4 Close the oven door firmly.
