How do you clean the cavity of your oven ?

1. hat is pyrolysis?
-Pyrolysis is a cycle during which the oven cavity is heated to a very high tem-
perature in order to eliminate soiling from splattering and spills. The smoke
and odours released are destroyed as they move through a catalyser.
- Pyrolysis is not necessary after each cooking cycle, but simply when the dirti-
ness warrants it.
- As a safety measure, the cleaning operation only begins after the door has
automatically locked. As soon as the internal temperature of the oven exceeds
cooking temperatures, it is impossible to unlock the door--even if the "function
selector" knob is turned to 0.

2. In what situations should pyrolysis be used?

If your oven emits smoke during preheating or releases large volumes of smoke
during cooking. If your oven releases an unpleasant odour when cooled after
various cooking applications (lamb, fish, barbecue, etc.).
