Cool-down time: 40 minutes
If a Self-Clean Cycle will not start, check that there are no meat probes inserted and that the control
knobs of the cavity that is not being cleaned (in a double oven) are in the ‘OFF’ position.
The oven self-clean mode operates by heating the oven to a temperature of approximately 440 ºC.
This burns off and breaks down soil and grease deposits. The ash residue that remains can simply be
removed from the cool oven with a damp cloth or sponge.
To Start a Self-Clean Cycle:
• Turn the oven mode dial until ‘Self Clean’ icon appears lit on the control panel
• The display will flash ‘0:00’ .
• Press the right scroll > button on the clock once to select the self clean cycle.
• The display will flash 5 hours, or press the right scroll > button to select the light clean option of 4
hours.
• The temperature display will be blank, as the temperature can not be adjusted.
• Press the tick button on the clock to start the self clean cycle.
• The time will start to count down.
How the Self Clean Cycle Operates:
The Grill inner element and the vent fan operate during the Self-Clean Cycle. Additionally, during the
first fifteen seconds of each minute the bake element is on and during the third fifteen seconds of
each minute the Grill outer element is on.
The cooling fan for the cavity being cleaned will be on high speed. The cooling fan for the other
cavity will be on low speed.
During the Self-Clean Cycle in a double oven, the cavity not being cleaned cannot be operated in any
mode.
The oven heats to its cleaning temperature and maintains this temperature for between approximately
2½ and 3½ hours into the cycle, depending on clean cycle selected.
The elements then turn off and the cool down period commences. When the temperature reduces to
180°C the door will unlock.
When the self-clean cycle has finished, the product will emit a long tone and after a few seconds the
display will show the time of day.
At the completion of the self-clean cycle, there may be grey ash deposited on the inside of the oven.
The amount of ash is dependent on the amount of soil in the oven before cleaning. To remove the
ash, wait until the oven has completely cooled. The bulk of the ash is easily removed with a small
brush or dry cloth, then by wiping over with a damp cloth.
The self-clean mode can be cancelled at any time by pressing the X button on the clock, This will take
approx 40 minutes. Do NOT turn off the mains power supply to the oven (wall switch).
Turning off the power while the oven is too hot may damage the oven and its surrounding cabinetry,
as the cooling fans will be shut down. This will cause the cavity temperature to increase and will trip
the non resettable thermal limiters, meaning the product will need to be removed from the joinery to
replace them.
