Before using for the first time Depending on model, the oven is supplied with the controls pushed in. They have to be released before the oven can used. Setting the time of day for the first time On models with a clock/timer you also have to set the time of day before the oven can be used.
^ Wait until the oven has cooled down to room temperature. ^ Then wipe out the oven cavity with a solution of hot water and mild detergent and then dry it thoroughly with a clean cloth.
This system works by the circulation of heated air. A fan situated on the back wall of the oven sucks in the air, heats it over a ring element and blows the heated air through the carefully spaced openings in the rear panel of the oven.
In this mode the oven cleans itself. The oven is heated up to approx. 460 °C and any residual soiling in the oven interior is burnt off by the high temperatures. This oven offers two programme durations for pyrolytic cleaning.
Using the oven Controls The oven is operated with the function selector and the temperature selector. Function selector Use the function selector to select the required oven function. The function selector can be turned clockwise or anti-clockwise. Do not attempt to turn it all the way round in either direction as this will damage the selector.

Cleaning and care Oven interior The oven interior and roof liner are coated with dark pyrolytic enamel which facilitates cleaning. This is a particularly hard enamel with an extremely smooth surface. Because of its anti-stick properties most debris can be easily removed with warm water and a little washing-up liquid applied with a soft cloth.
