Yes, the INDESIT IFW 5844 C IX oven has an automatic cleaning function by pyrolysis (PYRO). This function eliminates splashes and cooking residues by heating the inside of the oven to a very high temperature, above 400 °C, which transforms fats and residues into ashes that are easy to wipe away.
Before using the PYRO function: Remove all accessories from the oven, including the rack supports. If the oven is installed under a cooktop, ensure that the burners or electric plates are turned off. For best results, first remove the most stubborn residues with a damp sponge. The PYRO Cleaning function should only be used if the oven is very dirty or if it emits bad odors during cooking.
Automatic cleaning procedure: Simultaneously turn the selection knob and the thermostat knob to the PYRO icon. The function starts automatically, the door locks, and the bulb inside the oven turns off. The display shows the remaining time until completion, alternating with "Pyro".
During and after the cycle: Do not touch the oven during the cycle. Keep children and pets away from the kitchen. Once the cycle is complete, the door remains locked until the internal temperature reaches a safe level. Ventilate the room well during and after using the PYRO function, as the combustion of residues can produce odors.
After complete cooling, you can open the oven and wipe away the residual ashes with a damp cloth.
