«+ AUTOMATIC CLEANING FUNCTION - PYRO Do not touch the oven during the Pyro cycle. Keep children and animals away from the oven during and after (until the room has finished airing) running the Pyro cycle. Remove all accessories - including shelf guides - from the oven before activating the function. If the oven is installed below a hob, make sure that all the burners or electric hotplates are switched off while running the self cleaning cycle. For optimum cleaning results, remove excessive residuals inside the cavity and clean the inner door glass before using the pyrolytic function.

REMOVING AND REFITTING THE DOOR To remove the door, open it fully and lower the catches until they are in the unlock position (1). Close the door as much as you can (2). Take a firm hold of the door with both hands - do not hold it by the handle. Simply remove the door (3) by continuing to close it while pulling it upwards (a) at the same time until it is released from its seating (b).

Put the door to one side, resting it on a soft surface. Refit the door by moving it towards the oven, aligning the hooks of the hinges with their seating and securing the upper part onto its seating. Lower the door and then open it fully. Lower the catches into their original position: make sure that you lower them down completely. Try closing the door and check to make sure that it lines up with the control panel. If it does not, repeat the steps above.
